India’s cold chain infrastructure has grown exponentially in recent years—serving industries like dairy, meat, seafood, pharmaceuticals, and frozen foods. However, maintaining consistent temperatures in walk-in chillers and cold storage units remains a daily operational challenge.
One of the most cost-effective and reliable solutions for minimizing temperature loss is the installation of PVC strip curtains, especially those designed specifically for sub-zero environments.
In this guide, we explore:
The types of PVC curtains suitable for cold storage
Sizing standards based on Indian use cases
Regulatory compliance (FSSAI, ISO)
How to install them for long-term performance
Cold storage units experience frequent opening and closing of doors—leading to:
Temperature fluctuations
Condensation and frost formation
Higher compressor load
Increased power bills
PVC strip curtains act as a thermal barrier, reducing air exchange and minimizing energy loss—without obstructing visibility or movement.
❄️ Energy Savings Insight: Cold rooms with PVC curtains consume 15–30% less electricity compared to those without any partitioning.
| Type | Temperature Rating | Application |
|---|---|---|
| Standard PVC Clear | 0°C to +50°C | Ambient and chiller zones |
| Low Temperature PVC | -20°C to +30°C | Freezers, walk-in cold rooms |
| Ribbed PVC Curtains | -20°C to +50°C | High traffic cold storage entry areas |
| Magnetic Seal Curtains | -10°C to +30°C | Auto-close sealing for hygiene compliance |
Chronovex offers all variants with custom width and thickness options.
Below are commonly used sizes in the Indian cold chain industry:
| Door Width | Strip Width | Strip Thickness | Overlap | Recommended Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 ft | 200 mm | 2 mm | 40% | Low Temp Clear PVC |
| 4 ft | 300 mm | 3 mm | 50% | Ribbed for forklift movement |
| 6 ft+ | 400 mm | 3–5 mm | 70% | Magnetic or double-ribbed |
Chronovex also supplies custom-cut strips based on walk-in chiller or freezer entry dimensions.
Cold storage units storing perishable or temperature-sensitive goods must comply with Indian hygiene and quality standards.
✔️ FSSAI Guidelines – Require barriers against contamination, pests, and temperature loss
✔️ ISO 22000 – Demands proper cold chain control and temperature segregation
✔️ HACCP – Encourages use of physical barriers to separate zones
PVC strip curtains from Chronovex are food-grade, lead-free, and washable, ensuring complete compliance.
Installing PVC strip curtains in a cold storage unit is simple if you follow a proper method:
Steel drill or mounting gun
Screws and wall plugs
Chronovex rail bracket or top-plate
Measuring tape and level
Measure the entry dimensions (height × width) of the cold room door
Select appropriate strip width and overlap based on temperature zone and usage
Fix the top rail securely above the door frame
Hang the strips with overlap, ensuring they hang 5–10 mm off the floor
Check for magnetic or seal-locking (if using magnetic curtain type)
Test hands-free entry and auto-reseal
✅ Clean with warm water and mild detergent weekly
✅ Avoid rolling or folding during storage
✅ Check magnet integrity every 3–6 months
✅ Replace damaged strips immediately for full sealing
