OVERVIEW
Preventing the loss of cold air from your cooler or freezer reduces your energy bill whilst keeping your food or beverages at the correct temperature. Fitting a walk-in cooler curtain or a walk-in freezer door curtain will eliminate this expensive air loss. The freezer strip door acts as a thermal barrier between the cold zone and the ambient warehouse or kitchen area.
In UK cold-chain environments, maintaining consistent temperatures is critical for compliance with food safety legislation. PVC strip doors provide a cost-effective solution that allows forklift and foot traffic to pass through freely whilst minimising cold air escape. This is particularly important in busy distribution centres and food processing facilities where doors may be opened dozens of times per hour.

This bracket allows for strip installation that is approximately 75% quicker than traditional metal track styles. Not for 400 mm wide strips.
Rolling door hardware allows the strip door to be moved out of an opening when needed.
Applications & Codes
Food Contact Compliance and Hygiene Standards
Our food-grade PVC materials are manufactured in line with recognised European food safety legislation for products intended to come into contact with food. The PVC formulation is phthalate-free and designed to prevent harmful substance migration, supporting compliance with Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and Regulation (EU) No 10/2011.
These standards are particularly important for UK food businesses operating under the Food Safety Act 1990 and associated hygiene regulations. Our strips are suitable for environments where incidental food contact may occur, including cold stores, packing lines and food preparation areas.
Health and Safety Performance
Beyond compliance, food-safe PVC supports safer working environments in food-related facilities. The phthalate-free composition aligns with modern health and safety expectations, helping reduce contamination risks in controlled zones such as kitchens, cold rooms and dispatch areas.
HSE guidance recommends maintaining clear separation between temperature zones and production areas. PVC strip curtains provide this separation whilst allowing free movement of personnel and equipment.
Identification and Regulated Applications
Food-grade PVC rolls are clearly distinguished from standard industrial PVC, helping ensure only approved materials are installed in regulated environments. This is particularly important for facilities operating under structured hygiene systems such as HACCP or BRCGS (Brand Reputation Compliance Global Standards).
We supply documentation with every food-grade order so your quality team can verify material suitability during audits.
Cooler and Freezer Usage
Quick Fitting
Both styles of mounting hardware are very quick to fit. Only basic tools are required to attach the hardware to the freezer or cooler. The studded hardware hangs the strips on studs with lock nuts. The tube mount style only requires a few screws on the right side and the left side of the opening. Most installations are completed within an hour, even on larger doorways.
Save Energy
Free-flowing air in a controlled temperature zone is the number one energy cost for most food processing facilities and retail outlets. Freezer flap doors eliminate this unnecessary expense and are one of the quickest solutions to fit. With an excellent return on investment and the ability to suit almost any opening, they are an essential addition to any cold storage operation.
Low Temp PVC Strips
The unique composition of the low-temperature strips stays flexible to -28°C and the standard strips stay flexible to -10°C. The PVC material is non-porous, making for an extremely slick surface. This is ideal as it helps prevent bacteria build-up. Standard grade PVC comes in 150 mm and 200 mm widths. Low-temperature PVC is available in 200 mm and 300 mm widths to suit larger cold store openings.
Key Benefits
Benefits of Using a Strip Curtain on Your Cooler
There are many advantages to using strip curtains on coolers, especially in commercial and industrial environments where energy economy and temperature control are critical. Strip curtains serve as effective thermal barriers, significantly reducing energy consumption by minimising cold air loss each time the cooler or freezer is accessed.
They also help maintain consistent internal temperatures, which is essential for food safety compliance under UK regulations. Strip curtains allow easy passage for staff and equipment whilst keeping the cold air where it belongs. The overlapping PVC strips create a seal that reforms automatically after each pass-through, making them ideal for high-traffic cold storage areas.
