7 Mistakes to Avoid When Buying PVC Strip Curtains in India

PVC strip curtains are an essential investment for many Indian businesses — from factories and warehouses to cold rooms and retail stores. However, many buyers unknowingly make critical mistakes that lead to:

• Poor performance

• Frequent replacements

• Wasted investment

In this guide, we highlight the 7 most common mistakes people make when buying PVC strip curtains in India — and how you can avoid them to ensure long-term value.

❌ Mistake #1: Choosing Based on Price Alone

🛑 “Cheapest is not always best.”

Many buyers opt for the lowest quote without understanding the difference between recycled PVC and virgin-grade PVC. Cheaper curtains often:

• Turn yellow quickly

• Crack in sunlight

• Harden in winters

• Attract dust easily

✅ Pro Tip: Ask for virgin, UV-stabilized, dust-resistant PVC material like that used in Chronovex Curtains.

❌ Mistake #2: Not Measuring the Door Properly

Incorrect measurements result in poor sealing, air leakage, and bad aesthetics.

📏 Common Errors:

• Measuring only width, not height

• Ignoring mounting clearance

• Not factoring in doorframe thickness

✅ Pro Tip: Always measure clear opening + mounting space, and add overlap margin for perfect sealing.

❌ Mistake #3: Ignoring Curtain Thickness

Many people don’t know that PVC curtains come in different thicknesses for different applications:

✅ Pro Tip: Match thickness to traffic & impact level. Thinner strips will tear faster in industrial use.

❌ Mistake #4: Not Choosing the Right Type

Not all PVC strip curtains are the same. Buying a general-purpose strip for a specialized use (like cold rooms or food areas) results in compliance issues and poor durability.

✅ Pro Tip: Choose based on usage:

• 🧊 Cold Room? Use low-temp PVC

• 🦟 Insect control? Choose yellow bug-repellent PVC

• 👨‍🍳 Food zone? Use antifungal certified material

• 🌞 Sun-exposed area? Use UV-stabilized strips

❌ Mistake #5: Wrong Overlap Selection

Overlap refers to how much each strip covers the next one. If overlap is too little, gaps form. If too much, it becomes hard to walk through.

✅ Pro Tip: Choose overlap based on sealing priority vs ease of access.

❌ Mistake #6: Using Weak or Improper Mounting

Even the best PVC strip won’t work if mounted on flimsy channels or DIY frames.

📉 Common problems:

• Loose brackets

• Falling strips

• Irregular gaps

✅ Pro Tip: Insist on heavy-duty aluminum or SS mounting hardware — Chronovex offers both with professional-grade strength.

❌ Mistake #7: No After-Sales Support or Spares

Many local vendors sell curtains without providing:

• Spare strips

• Cleaning kits

• Mounting help

• Maintenance guidance

✅ Pro Tip: Partner with a reliable manufacturer like Chronovex that offers ongoing support, spare kits, and PAN India assistance.
