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
| Feature | PVC Strip Curtain | Air Curtain |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| Entry Speed | Slightly slows large movements | No slowdown at all |
| Maintenance | Occasional cleaning | Filter/motor servicing every few months |
| Installation | Easy (manual or self-install) | Requires electrical setup |
| Lifespan | 2–5 years | 3–7 years (motor quality dependent) |
