Both Air Curtains and PVC Strip Curtains are effective tools used to protect indoor spaces from:
Dust
Insects
Outside air
Temperature loss
But many business owners in India often ask:
“Which one should I use – PVC strip curtain or air curtain?”
In this blog, we’ll compare both based on features, benefits, limitations, costs, and best-use scenarios so you can make the right choice.
PVC strip curtains are made of overlapping flexible plastic strips that create a physical barrier while still allowing visibility and movement.
Ideal For:
Factories
Cold rooms
Warehouses
Food processing areas
Shops with open entries
An air curtain is an electrical device installed above doors to blow a high-speed invisible air stream across the doorway.
Ideal For:
Malls
Showrooms
AC rooms
Hospitals
Hotels & Restaurants

---|---|---|
Barrier Type | Physical | Air stream (invisible) |
Insect/Dust Control | Very effective | Effective, but gaps remain if door is open |
Temperature Retention | Excellent insulation | Moderate (depends on air velocity) |
Visibility | Transparent | 100% visible entry |
Energy Consumption | None | Requires electricity |
Movement Comfort | Slight resistance when walking/trolleys | Zero resistance |
Noise | Silent | Mild motor/fan noise |
Hygiene | Can touch, needs cleaning | No-touch, cleaner in food/health zones |
