Industrial blinds come in various materials such as PVC, vinyl, metal, and canvas. There are two main types: fixed and mobile. PVC striped curtains are common and useful for separating rooms with different temperatures. Industrial blinds are cost-effective and ideal for segregating areas in factories.
There are a wide variety of types of industrial blinds and the variety depends a lot on the material. While the materials are often polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or vinyl, any material used for this purpose is often flame and flame retardant and, in some cases, clear or opaque. Regardless of the material, however, there are actually two main types of industrial blinds: mobile blinds and fixed blinds.
Fixed blinds are installed in the building where they are located and run along metal guides located on the ceiling. Mobile tents work in a similar way, but are exactly what their name suggests: mobile. Typically, they consist of a detached metal frame and roll on wheels for easy transportation. The curtains themselves occupy the space inside the metal structure and can be pulled and extracted with the aid of rollers placed in the upper part. Mobile blinds are very convenient for separating rooms and at the same time so that vehicles or personnel can still pass through with ease.
The most common type of industrial curtain, whether fixed or mobile, is the PVC striped curtain. Despite being very flexible, they are able to hold hot or cold temperatures very well. This makes it easy for machinery, such as forklifts, to easily enter and exit different sections. This type of curtain is often found in cold stores, where products need to be moved between zones of different temperatures. PVC strips eliminate the need for insulated doors and walls; instead, any machine of any size can get in and out with relative ease.
Other types of industrial tents include metal and canvas tents. Metallic blinds are, as the name suggests, constructed of metal. These typically consist of large “sections” of wall, which can be retracted and folded together. Canvas tents function much like a tent you would have in your home and are meant for heavier-duty applications. Canvas tents are generally flame retardant and are used in high heat applications such as foundry work.
There are many benefits associated with industrial blinds. Many factories need to segregate certain areas for health reasons, and doing so can be quite costly in many situations. In some cases, an industrial business will lease the facility in which it works. Thus, building new facilities can sometimes go against the lease. Not only that, but building walls, especially large ones intended for hazardous environments, can be very expensive.
