The best of 2025

A thank you to customers, staff and a highlight of onsite installations from 2025

In 2025, organisations across the UK continued to prioritise temperature control, hygiene, energy efficiency, and workflow safety — and many turned to Strip Curtains Direct to help achieve these goals.

From commercial kitchens to high-precision manufacturing sites, we delivered tailored PVC strip curtain and barrier solutions that helped businesses run cleaner, safer and more efficiently.

This roundup showcases a selection of this year’s installations, demonstrating how our made-to-measure environmental barriers are solving real operational challenges day in, day out.

Why Environmental Barriers Still Matter in 2025

Across every sector, the pressures on facilities teams continue to grow. Rising energy costs, stricter hygiene standards, and fast-paced workflows mean even small inefficiencies can lead to costly problems.

PVC strip curtains and barrier systems remain one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to:

Maintain stable temperatures

Reduce energy waste

Minimise contamination risks

Separate high-traffic zones safely

Improve workflow efficiency

Support audit and compliance requirements

For many of the organisations we worked with this year, these weren’t just “nice-to-have” upgrades — they were essential improvements that delivered measurable impact.
