Description
This premium heavy duty PVC buffer curtain strip is designed to create durable and flexible barriers in high-traffic industrial environments. Manufactured from tough, clear PVC, it helps to reduce dust, noise and heat loss while still allowing full visibility between working areas, improving both safety and efficiency.
Ideal for use in warehouses, factories, loading bays and goods-in areas, this clear curtain strip is UV stabilised and chemically resistant, making it suitable for demanding indoor and semi-covered outdoor applications. It can be used as a replacement strip on existing curtain systems or for new installations where robust impact protection and environmental control are required.
Product Features
- Clear heavy duty PVC strip for maximum visibility between work areas.
- Available in 400 mm width to provide generous overlap and coverage.
- Thick 4 mm construction for enhanced impact resistance and durability.
- Supplied in convenient lengths of 4000 mm or 5000 mm to suit a range of door heights.
- UV stabilised formulation helps minimise yellowing and degradation from sunlight exposure.
- Chemical resistant PVC suitable for use in many industrial and processing environments.
- Compatible with standard curtain track and hanging hardware for easy installation and replacement.
Key Features and Benefits
- Maintains clear visibility, helping forklift operators and pedestrians see through openings and reduce collision risk.

Applications and Ideal Uses
This heavy duty PVC buffer curtain strip is suitable wherever robust, clear barriers are needed to protect openings while allowing free movement of people, vehicles and goods.
- Warehouse loading bay doors and dock shelters subject to frequent forklift traffic.
- Factory and workshop entrances where dust, drafts and noise need to be controlled.

- Goods-in and dispatch doorways requiring impact-resistant, see-through barriers.
- Chemically demanding environments such as cleaning, processing or maintenance zones (subject to compatibility checks).
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this PVC buffer curtain strip be used as a direct replacement on my existing rail system?
In most cases yes, provided your existing rail or hanging hardware is compatible with 400 mm wide, 4 mm thick strips. You may need to trim the length to suit your opening and match the fixing style (such as hook-on or bolt-on plates) used on your current system.
Is the curtain strip suitable for outdoor use on external doorways?
The strip is UV stabilised and can be used on external or semi-exposed openings such as loading bays. For fully exposed locations, overall service life will depend on weather conditions and intensity of sunlight, so periodic inspection and replacement of heavily worn or degraded strips is recommended.
How do I choose between the 4000 mm and 5000 mm length options?
Select a strip length that exceeds your clear opening height to allow for fixing and a small amount of ground clearance. For example, a 3.8 m high opening typically suits a 4000 mm strip, while taller doors up to around 4.8 m often require the 5000 mm option, which can be trimmed to the exact size during installation.
