Heavy-Duty Train Shed Strip Curtains Using Our Swivel Hinge Rail System

Railway maintenance depots and train sheds require entrance protection capable of withstanding constant use, large vehicle movements and challenging environmental conditions. Our Train Shed Strip Curtains are engineered specifically for these demanding applications, providing a durable barrier that helps reduce weather ingress, minimise bird access and protect valuable rolling stock while maintaining unrestricted access for trains, engineering vehicles and maintenance personnel.

Built around our exclusive heavy-duty Swivel Hinge hanging system, these railway depot strip curtains are designed for large industrial openings where conventional strip curtain systems are often unable to cope with continual heavy-duty use. Manufactured using galvanised steel components and premium 400mm x 4mm standard clear PVC strips, they deliver exceptional durability, excellent visibility and long-term reliability in busy rail maintenance environments.

Our rail maintenance depot curtains are installed throughout train sheds, locomotive workshops, rolling stock maintenance facilities, engineering depots and rail service centres. They help improve working conditions by reducing wind, rain, airborne debris and bird ingress while maintaining natural light and allowing uninterrupted movement through large entrances. Where required, curtains can also be manufactured with bespoke access cut-outs to suit specific rail infrastructure or operational requirements.

Every system is manufactured to your required dimensions and supplied ready to install with fully assembled Swivel Hinge rails, pre-prepared PVC strips and all required hanging hardware. Whether you're looking for train shed strip curtains, railway workshop curtains, rail depot PVC curtains or a heavy-duty industrial entrance curtain system, Redwood's robust solutions are built to provide reliable performance in some of the UK's most demanding railway environments.

Train shed strip curtains use a heavy duty swivel hinge rail system.

What Problems Do Train Shed Strip Curtains Solve?

Large railway depot and train shed entrances are exposed to constant traffic, harsh weather and demanding operating conditions. Leaving these openings unprotected can increase heating costs, reduce worker comfort and allow contaminants into maintenance areas.

Train Shed Strip Curtains help solve:

  • Heat loss through large depot entrances
  • Wind and rain entering maintenance sheds
  • Bird ingress and nesting inside railway buildings
  • Airborne dust and flying debris affecting maintenance work
  • Higher heating and energy costs
  • Poor working conditions near open entrances
  • Maintaining visibility whilst protecting the building
  • Delays caused by opening and closing large industrial doors

 

The result is a safer, cleaner and more energy-efficient railway maintenance environment without restricting access for rolling stock, engineering vehicles or personnel.

 

Best Applications

Train Shed Strip Curtains are ideal for:

  • Train maintenance depots
  • Railway engineering workshops
  • Rolling stock maintenance facilities
  • Locomotive depots
  • Rail servicing sheds
  • Train washing facilities
  • Tram depots
  • Metro maintenance buildings
  • Rail vehicle inspection bays
  • Engineering and fabrication workshops

 

They are particularly suited to large industrial openings where trains, maintenance equipment and service vehicles require unrestricted access throughout the working day.

 

Why Choose the Swivel Hinge System?

Built for Heavy Industrial Railway Environments

Our exclusive Swivel Hinge hanging system has been designed for demanding industrial applications where lighter strip curtain systems can become damaged through repeated impacts and heavy traffic.

Each rail is manufactured to order using:

  • 1" galvanised medium-weight tube (BS1387)
  • Heavy-duty galvanised steel shell hinges
  • Robust UPVC spacers
  • High-strength M8 fixing hardware

 

The wrap-around hinge design securely bolts every strip into position, creating an exceptionally durable curtain system capable of withstanding the daily demands of railway maintenance facilities.

 

About the PVC

We use premium 400mm x 4mm Standard Clear PVC, the industry standard for heavy-duty industrial strip curtains.

Benefits include:

  • Outstanding visibility for improved safety
  • Excellent light transmission
  • High flexibility for large vehicle access
  • High impact resistance
  • Effective noise reduction
  • UV stabilised to reduce degradation
  • Long service life
  • Manufactured using quality UK-sourced materials

 

The transparent PVC allows engineers and operators to maintain clear visibility whilst creating an effective environmental barrier.

 

Installation Guide

Mounting Options

Train Shed Strip Curtains can be installed using:

  • R1 Face-Fix Brackets
  • R2 Soffit-Fix Brackets
  • R3 90° Stand-Off Brackets

 

Every rail is supplied fully assembled and manufactured specifically for your opening.

 

Installation Process

  1. Measure the opening width and height.
  2. Install the mounting brackets onto a structurally suitable surface.
  3. Fit the assembled Swivel Hinge rail.
  4. Position the prepared PVC strips into each hinge.
  5. Secure using the supplied M8 nuts and bolts.
  6. Check strip overlap and alignment.

 

Important Installation Notes

  • Rails are not self-supporting.
  • Structural mounting fixings are not supplied.
  • Installer-supplied fixings must be suitable for the supporting structure.

Train Shed Strip Curtains help railway operators:

  • Reduce heating costs
  • Minimise weather ingress
  • Improve employee comfort
  • Reduce bird entry
  • Limit airborne dust and debris
  • Maintain clear visibility

Hanging Tip

PVC strips are supplied rolled for transport.

Some upward curl may be visible immediately after installation. This is completely normal and will naturally relax over time.

For best results:

  • Unroll strips before installation where possible.
  • Leave them flat overnight.
  • Reverse roll if required.
  • Apply gentle heat in cold conditions to speed up flattening.

 

Longevity & Maintenance

PVC strip is a consumable product, and service life depends on traffic frequency, environmental conditions and the level of daily use.

For maximum lifespan we recommend installing curtains internally or within sheltered entrances wherever possible. Curtains exposed continuously to severe weather may experience accelerated wear or reduced clarity over time.

The heavy-duty Swivel Hinge system helps minimise damage caused by repeated impacts, allowing individual strips to be replaced when necessary without replacing the complete curtain system.
