Description
Industrial Partition Wall Strip Curtains for Warehouses, Factories & Production Areas
Large industrial buildings often contain multiple operations that need separating without restricting the movement of people, forklifts or materials. Our Partition Wall Strip Curtains provide a flexible, cost-effective alternative to constructing permanent walls, allowing you to create dedicated work zones while maintaining visibility, accessibility and workflow throughout your facility.
Designed around our exclusive heavy-duty Swivel Hinge hanging system, these industrial partition curtains are engineered for demanding commercial and industrial environments where standard hanging systems may suffer damage from constant traffic. Manufactured using robust galvanised steel components and premium 400mm x 4mm standard clear PVC strips, they provide a durable physical barrier that helps improve environmental control while allowing unrestricted movement between areas.
Our PVC partition curtains are widely used as warehouse partition curtains, factory divider curtains, warehouse divider screens and industrial room divider curtains in warehouses, manufacturing plants, engineering workshops, logistics centres, production facilities and storage buildings. They help businesses create separate work areas for manufacturing, packing, storage, quality control and dispatch without the cost, disruption or loss of flexibility associated with permanent construction.
As well as dividing large internal spaces, these warehouse partition wall curtains help reduce heat loss, improve temperature control, minimise dust transfer, reduce noise migration and create safer, more organised working environments. The transparent PVC maintains excellent visibility and natural light transmission, allowing staff and vehicle operators to work safely while clearly seeing activity on the opposite side of the partition.
Every curtain is manufactured to your required dimensions and supplied ready to install with fully assembled Swivel Hinge rails, pre-prepared PVC strips and all necessary hanging hardware. Whether you need a warehouse divider curtain, industrial PVC partition wall, factory partition curtain or a heavy-duty internal warehouse screening system, Redwood’s robust industrial curtain systems deliver long-lasting performance for even the busiest commercial environments.
What Problems Do Partition Wall Strip Curtains Solve?
Large industrial buildings can be expensive to heat, difficult to manage and challenging to keep clean.
Partition Wall Strip Curtains allow businesses to divide larger spaces into more efficient zones without sacrificing accessibility.
They help solve:
- Excessive heating costs in large buildings
- Heat loss from oversized workspaces
- Poor temperature control
- Dust transfer between work areas
- Noise travelling throughout facilities
- Separating clean and dirty operations
- Creating dedicated work cells
- Segregating manufacturing and storage areas
- Managing pedestrian and vehicle routes
- Maintaining workflow whilst creating separation
The result is a more organised, energy-efficient and productive workspace.
Why Choose Redwood Partition Wall Strip Curtains?
Heavy-Duty Swivel Hinge Rail System
Our Swivel Hinge curtain rails are designed specifically for demanding industrial environments.
Unique to Redwood, we believe they are among the toughest PVC curtain hanging systems available in the UK.
The robust construction helps reduce accidental damage and can significantly reduce maintenance and repair costs over the lifetime of the curtain compared to lighter-duty systems.
Each rail is manufactured to suit your opening width and supplied fully assembled ready for installation.
Important: Rails are not self-supporting and must be fitted to a structurally suitable surface across the full opening span.
High-Strength Bolted Strip Fixing
Unlike lighter-duty hanging systems, the PVC strips are securely bolted into wrap-around galvanised swivel hinges using supplied M8 nuts and bolts.
This creates an extremely robust curtain system capable of coping with:
- Forklift traffic
- Pallet trucks
- Large equipment movement
- Heavy industrial environments
- Frequent daily use

Why Use PVC Partition Curtains Instead of Permanent Walls?
Many businesses need separation without losing flexibility.
PVC partition curtains offer several advantages over fixed partitions:
| Feature | Permanent Walls | Partition Wall Strip Curtains |
| Lower installation cost | ❌ | ✔ |
| Quick installation | ❌ | ✔ |
| Maintains visibility | ❌ | ✔ |
| Forklift access | Limited | ✔ |
| Flexible workspace layout | ❌ | ✔ |
| Natural light transmission | ❌ | ✔ |
| Easy future modification | ❌ | ✔ |
For many facilities, PVC partition curtains deliver the benefits of segregation without the cost, planning requirements or disruption of constructing permanent walls.

Installation Guide
Rail Mounting Options
Partition Wall Strip Curtains can be installed using:
- R1 Face-Fix Brackets
- R2 Soffit-Fix Brackets
- R3 90° Stand-Off Brackets
Installation Process
- Measure the required partition span and height.
- Secure mounting brackets to a suitable structural surface.
- Install the fully assembled rail.
- Hang the prepared PVC strips into the swivel hinge system.
- Secure strips using the supplied M8 nuts and bolts.
- Check overlap alignment and operation.
Important Installation Notes
- Mounting fixings are not supplied.
- Fixings must be appropriate for the installation surface.
- Rails must be installed onto a structurally suitable supporting surface.
- Rails are not designed to be self-supporting.
Hanging Tip
PVC strips are supplied rolled for transportation.
When first installed, some upward curl may be visible at the bottom of the strips. This is normal and will gradually relax over time.
For best results:
- Unroll strips and leave flat overnight before installation.
- Reverse roll if required.
- Apply gentle heat to accelerate flattening.

Longevity & Maintenance
PVC strip curtains are considered a consumable product and lifespan will vary depending on operating conditions, traffic levels and environmental exposure.
For maximum service life, we recommend installation internally or in sheltered locations wherever possible.
Curtains exposed directly to weather conditions may experience accelerated wear and reduced clarity over time.
Many customers achieve years of reliable service, whilst heavily trafficked installations may require more frequent strip replacement.
The robust Swivel Hinge system helps minimise damage and reduces long-term maintenance costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
