In India’s fast-growing industrial and commercial sectors—ranging from retail shops, warehouses, restaurants to pharma units—maintaining controlled environments is essential for:
Energy savings
Temperature control
Dust & insect prevention
Hygiene and safety
Two of the most commonly used solutions are:
✅ PVC Strip Curtains
✅ Air Curtains
While both serve a similar function of environmental separation, they differ significantly in mechanism, use cases, and cost. This article breaks down the key differences between the two and helps you choose the right one for your business.
PVC strip curtains are flexible plastic strips installed at doorways or partitions. They allow easy movement of people, goods, and trolleys while blocking air exchange and contaminants.
Key Features:
Transparent or colored flexible plastic
Can be fixed or sliding
Available in magnetic or standard variants
Offers physical barrier
Requires no electricity
An air curtain is an electrically powered device installed above a doorway that blows a high-velocity stream of air downward, creating an invisible barrier against:
Outside heat or cold
Insects and dust
Unwanted odors or fumes
Chronovex offers Standard, Premium, and Advanced Series air curtains suitable for various industries.
