Heavy Duty Loading Bay Strip Curtains (Swivel Hinge) - R2 Soffit Fit

In busy industrial settings, maintaining an efficient, safe, and energy-conscious environment is crucial. Our heavy-duty loading bay strip curtains, equipped with swivel hinge rails, are designed to meet these demands. Ideal for delivery docks and Goods In/Out areas, these robust strip curtains provide a reliable solution for maintaining temperature control, keeping out weather elements, and preventing the ingress of pests and debris.

Exceptional Strength with Swivel Hinge Rails

What sets our loading bay strip curtains apart is the swivel hinge rail system, a unique feature designed exclusively by Redwood. These rails are built to endure the rigours of heavy industrial use, making them the toughest curtain rail system available in the UK. The robust design minimises the risk of damage, which in turn reduces repair and replacement costs over the lifetime of the curtain. Each rail is custom-made to fit any span and arrives fully assembled, ready for easy installation.

Versatile Installation Options

Our swivel hinge curtain rails offer versatile installation options to suit various structural needs. With the R2 soffit fitting option, these rails can be easily mounted to the underside of a support beam or ceiling, providing a secure and stable base for the PVC strips. The rails are designed to accommodate PVC strips that are pre-punched with hanging holes, perfectly matching the rail setup. Once in place, the strips are securely bolted into the centre of the swivel hinges using M8 nuts and bolts, which are provided free of charge.

High-Quality Clear PVC Strips

The loading bay curtains come equipped with 400mm x 4mm standard clear PVC strips, known for their outstanding transparency and durability. These strips allow for maximum visibility while still providing an effective barrier. The PVC material is highly flexible and resistant to impact, making it ideal for environments with frequent foot or vehicle traffic. The strips can be easily trimmed to fit bespoke sizes, ensuring a perfect fit for any doorway or opening.

Energy Efficiency and Environmental Protection

One of the key benefits of our loading bay strip curtains is their ability to contribute to energy savings. By acting as a barrier, these curtains help preserve the internal temperature of your workspace, reducing the need for additional heating or cooling. This not only enhances comfort but also lowers energy costs. Additionally, the curtains are effective in preventing the entry of pests, dust, and debris, helping to maintain a clean and safe working environment.

Built to Last with Quality Materials

Our loading bay strip curtains are constructed using high-quality materials sourced from reputable UK manufacturers. The galvanised steel used in the swivel hinges and hanging rails is designed for long-term durability, offering excellent resistance to wear and corrosion. The PVC strips contain anti-UV filters, which help protect against the damaging effects of sunlight, further extending the lifespan of the curtains.

Customisation and Maintenance

We understand that every workspace has unique requirements, which is why our loading bay strip curtains can be customised to fit your specific needs. Whether you need a different rail configuration or customised strip lengths, we can accommodate your requests. The PVC strips are designed for easy replacement, allowing you to maintain the effectiveness of your curtains over time.

As with all PVC products, the longevity of the strip curtains depends on their usage and the environment in which they are installed. To maximise their lifespan, it’s recommended to install them internally, behind doors or openings that offer some protection from the elements. When exposed to harsh weather conditions, the strips may deteriorate more quickly, but with proper installation and care, they can provide long-lasting service.

In summary, our heavy-duty loading bay strip curtains with swivel hinge rails offer an exceptional combination of durability, flexibility, and energy efficiency. They are an excellent investment for any industrial setting, providing a reliable solution for maintaining a safe and efficient workspace. Whether you need to protect your premises from the elements, reduce energy costs, or ensure the smooth operation of loading and unloading activities, these strip curtains are designed to meet your needs.

What makes Redwood loading bay strip curtains so good… and such good value?

About the rails: Swivel hinge curtain rails are designed for heavy-duty strip curtain use. They are unique to Redwood and we believe they’re the UK’s toughest curtain rail system. The robust design reduces the risk of damage. Over the lifetime of a curtain this can dramatically reduce repair costs compared to other weaker curtain formats. Rails are made to order to cover any size of span and come fully assembled ready to hang. NOTE: They are not self-supporting. They must be fitted onto a structurally supporting surface across the whole opening span.

Fitting: Rails can be face or soffit fitted depending on your selected choice of mounting bracket. Once in place, the rails take PVC strips pre-punched with hanging holes to match the rail set-up. NOTE: Fixings for mounting the rail are not included. (These should be supplied by installer and be suitable for fitting surface.) The strips then slot into the centre of the wrap-around swivel hinges and are securely bolted in place with M8 nuts and bolts. (These are supplied free).

About the PVC: Standard clear PVC is the go-to product of the PVC curtain industry; used in all manner of environments to provide quick and flexible screening of doors and work spaces. Whichever option you choose, every strip curtain you make with this product will have outstanding see-through qualities and allow light to pass through with minimum distortion. Strips supplied in stock lengths can easy be trimmed to achieve bespoke sizes.

Other key facts: Highly flexible PVC. High impact resistance. Highly effective a noise barrier. Competitively priced. Contains anti-UV filters to help protect against the damaging effects of sunlight. Materials sourced from highly reputable UK manufacturers / suppliers to ensure best quality.

Strip overlap: 400mm / 60% overlap: Recommended up to 5000mm high

Hanging tip: Strips are supplied rolled-up. When first hung, this may result in the base of the strips curling upwards slightly This residual curl will naturally fall out given time. (It may take longer in cold conditions.) If possible, before hanging, unroll and leave to flatten out overnight. If this isn’t practical, try reverse rolling the strips or applying gentle heat.

Longevity: PVC strip is considered a consumable product. How fast it’s consumed is beyond any manufacturer’s or supplier’s control. Its lifespan will be dictated by where it’s used, what type of traffic might move through it and how carefully (or aggressively) such traffic does so. To help maximise its working life, we always recommend that PVC curtains are fitted internally behind doors or openings that can provide a degree of shelter. If they’re fitted outside of a doorway or building, fully exposed to the elements all day and night, they can deteriorate and/or lose clarity more quickly. The rate of this will depend entirely on the severity of the local weather. We have some customers who replace their PVC annually… others who’ve had the same for many, many years.

NOTE: All dimensions nominal. Subject to original manufacturer’s standard tolerances.
