The patented Balledge design on Apex General Purpose Strip Curtains is designed to improve flexibility and durability
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) strip curtains are widely used in industry to control the influx of hot or cold air, reduce dust levels and prevent the ingress of birds, rodents and insects. Strip curtains also help to prevent contaminants from entering areas where hygiene and cleanliness are critical, while still permitting the unhindered and safe passage of people and forklift trucks. Additional benefits include the reduction of noise levels from both inside and outside the facilities.
Local manufacturer Apex Strip Curtains & Doors highlights its pioneering introduction of flexible PVC strips in industrial applications more than 40 years ago. The patented Balledge design on Apex General Purpose Strip Curtains aims to create an effective thermal seal, while also ensuring durability.
Made from specially formulated PVC material that is said to retain its flexibility irrespective of the environment, Apex asserts that its General Purpose Strip Curtains do not become brittle with use and that they outlast other products.
The Balledge is a reinforced edge on the side of each strip, designed to prevent snagging and scratching of people or products as they pass through the curtain.
The curtains can be attached to an overhead hanging rail and provide a means of partitioning areas and offer protection from temperature extremes and environmental pollutants.
The strips are available on a metre-by-metre basis or as a complete installation, with hanging hardware. Apex Strip Curtains & Doors is represented throughout South Africa by a network of agents that also offer technical and installation support.
