PVC Strip Curtains vs Air Curtains – Complete Comparison Guide India

If you're running a shop, factory, warehouse, or cold room, you're likely exploring ways to reduce energy loss, block dust, or prevent insects from entering.

Two common solutions available today are:

1. PVC Strip Curtains

2. Air Curtains (Blower type)

While both serve similar goals, they are very different in technology, cost, performance, and application. In this blog, we’ll help you choose the right one — or a combination — based on your actual need.

🚪 What Are PVC Strip Curtains?

PVC strip curtains are flexible transparent plastic strips installed at doorways to:

• Prevent air exchange

• Block dust, insects, and noise

• Allow walk-through/trolley movement

They're low-maintenance and don’t use electricity.

💨 What Are Air Curtains?

Air curtains are electrical machines installed above doors. They blow a high-velocity stream of air downward, creating an invisible barrier that:

• Keeps cold air in / hot air out

• Blocks dust, insects, and pollutants

• Allows contactless entry/exit for humans

2. Is hygiene or temperature control a priority? → PVC

3. Want premium solution? → Use both

4. Power cuts frequent? → PVC curtain preferred

5. Do you need insect + dust block in open area? → Use air curtain with sensor
