As the cost of energy increases, it becomes a larger percentage of total variable costs for many manufactures. Businesses, then need to keep costs down in order to stay competitive while looking for ways to reduce expenditure.

The majority of businesses will look at the obvious ways of saving energy costs. At first they will try to negotiate better deals with their energy providers, but when they realise they have the best energy deal available, the opportunities to reduce further costs have all but vanished.

The next area of attack is sometimes lighting. Using natural lighting by replacing roofs with clear panels can let in natural light and reduce the reliance on electric lighting during the day. Replacing traditional forms of lighting with LED will also contribute to significant savings, often in the region of 90% of the costs of electricity for the lights.

Another area is the role of our industrial PVC Strip Curtains , this can be an overlooked way of reducing the energy usage and costs. These can be fitted across most doorways/entrances that can be left open during daylight hours which let's pedestrians and vehicles pass through without having to open and close doors.

These are strong and robust, called impact doors which are well insulated, making a contribution to reduce heat loss in large open areas that need to be heated for staff and customer comfort but are open to the outside world.

It is estimated that the energy savings from installing PVC Strip curtains will pay for their purchase and installation within 3 months. Usually, a business would get a 400% annual return on investment when installing these energy saving industrial door solutions.
