There is a lot of movement that takes place behind the scenes in restaurants, with workers constantly venturing between different areas, such as food prep stations, cooking areas, storage spaces, and customer service zones. This frequent moving can come with risks of cross-contamination, accidents, and energy losses, but all of these risks can be minimised with one simple fix – PVC curtains.

PVC curtains offer an affordable and practical solution to improve cleanliness, help prevent food contamination, and enhance workplace safety.

Maintaining/Improving Hygiene

Acting as a Barrier Against Contaminants

Restaurants and kitchens face challenges such as dust, dirt, and fumes from various sources. With PVC curtains, you can easily stop them from spreading and entering nearby areas, minimising their overall effect.

Reducing the Risk of Cross-Contamination

A simple installation of these curtains means that bacteria and food particles won’t travel between rooms, reducing the risk of cross-contamination. For example, waste disposal areas and food prep stations will be kept separated.

Easy to Clean and Maintain

As well as keeping the areas of your restaurants clean, these products are also easy to clean themselves. This is because, unlike fabric or wooden barriers, PVC strip curtains are non-porous. This kind of surface allows for quick wiping with disinfectants and also possesses a strong resistance to mould and mildew.

Protecting Areas from Pests

PVC curtains also block pests from entering kitchen areas and food prep zones, which will further enhance the hygiene of your restaurants as well as help them meet strict health code requirements.

Enhancing Safety in Restaurant Kitchens

Preventing Slips and Falls

Slips and falls are common workplace accidents, but the installation of PVC curtains can greatly reduce the risk of them occurring. Spilt water, grease, and food may create slippery surfaces, but strip curtains can contain these within specific areas and prevent them from spreading to other zones, minimising their impact and danger.

Maintaining Visibility

Kitchens are busy environments, with employees constantly moving in and out of different sections. By investing in clear PVC curtains, you can maintain visibility in between rooms, reducing collision risks.

Improving Efficiency

Energy Efficiency

Restaurants use a lot of energy to maintain kitchen temperatures and keep storage units cool. PVC curtains can help keep these energy costs lower by reducing heat loss from walk-in refrigerators and freezers as well as keeping other air-conditioned areas separate from hot cooking zones.

Reducing Noise

Another way in which these curtains improve efficiency is through their ability to reduce noise, absorbing the sounds generated by loud blenders, mixers, and other appliances. This reduction in noise can help minimise distractions for employees.

PVC strip curtains are a useful addition for restaurants that require further improvement in safety, hygiene, and energy efficiency. They act as barriers for contaminants, help reduce cross-contamination, improve energy efficiency, and enhance the safety of employees.  The result is an environment that is safer, more hygienic, and more energy efficient.
