Many businesses in India ask a common question:

While both are effective for temperature control, hygiene, and dust protection, they serve different purposes and perform best under different conditions. Choosing the right one can lead to better efficiency, lower costs, and higher compliance.

This blog provides a clear, side-by-side comparison of PVC Strip Curtains vs Air Curtains, helping you decide what fits your business needs.

💡 Can Both Be Used Together?

Yes. In fact, many advanced facilities in India use both air curtains and PVC strip curtains together for dual protection:
