May 17, 2025 / By Super Admin / in PVC Strip Curtain & PVC RollMagnetic PVC roll

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.


🧾 What Is a PVC Strip Curtain?

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


💨 What Is an Air Curtain?

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
