PVC STRIP CURTAINS VEC
Our strip curtains are a simple draught sealing system for use in doorways or as a partition between work areas. The strips are constructed from transparent, flexible PVC strips. The strips are attached to the top mounting rail (wall mounting or ceiling mounting) by means of the unique VEH loop system.

Applications
VEC strip Curtains are used:
- to prevent or reduce draft
- as a partition (easy to pass through)
- to reduce noise nuisance
- to protect personnel and goods from adverse weather conditions
- to keep out birds and insects
- to prevent dust and smoke from spreading
- to protect against ultraviolet radiation during welding
- in cold storage and freezing industry (special cold resistant material quality)
Specification/Construction
Our VEH curtains consist of a range of different colour PVC strips with welded loops. These are suspended with the desired overlap from tubing which is attached to the lintel with brackets. The outer strips can be supplied in an orange colour to mark the passage width of the opening.
Material
The strips are made of extruded transparent PVC and are available in the following qualities:
| normal (N) | to -5 C |
| freezing room quality (VC) | to -35 C |
| transparency | between 83% and 90% |
| strips | flame-retardant |
Dimensions
Strips are available in the following sizes:
| Width | Thick | Height |
| 200mm | 2mm | up to 3000mm |
| 300mm | 3mm | up to 4000mm |
| 400mm | 4mm | up to 5000mm |
Overlap Options
For overlapping the strips there is a choice of:
| for 200 x 2mm | 2/5 - 4/5 |
| for 300 x 3mm | 2/7 - 4/7 - 6/7 |
| for 400 x 4mm | 2/9 - 4/9 - 6/9 - 8/9 |
The overlap percentage is largely determined by the degree of draught. The greater the overlap, the better the draught sealing.
Here are example overlap options for the 300mm x 3mm strip:
Material Strength
| Property | DIN | Unit | (N) | (KB) |
| Tensile strength | 53455 | N/mm | 17 | 13 |
| Tearing strength | 53515 | N/mm | >5 | >2 |
| Elong. At break | 53455 | % | 300 | 420 |
| Hardness | 53505 | Shore-A | 77 | 63 |
Safety
The strips have rounded edges.
Mounting structure requirements
Special structural provisions are not generally required. A stable material for attachment by means of screws or bolts is sufficient.

Why have your door and shutter systems maintained?
- It is a legal requirement - as failure to show evidence of maintenance could mean prohibition & enforcement notices being served and fines up to £5000 and imprisonment for 2 years. 'Safety In Use', the New European CEN Standards legislation - States that all types of door should be maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair. For further clarification visit www.dhfonline.org.uk.
- Routine maintenance prolongs the operational life of the installation and ensures that the installation is kept in good working order.
- It ensures that the door is working in a safe and efficient condition - helping to prevent accidents and damage which in turn results in down time, effecting work flow, productivity and resulting in loss of revenue.
- It assists in identifying potential problems which can easily be rectified.
