Will using PVC curtains save money long term?
You might be interested to know whether PVC curtains are a good investment to make. Are you going to save more money over the long term by using these curtains, as opposed to other materials or even a solid door?
The short answer is yes – but if you’re looking for the details, read on to understand exactly how and why.
Reducing your bills
The first big area of saving is going to be in your bills. PVC curtains help to act as a barrier for noise, temperature, smell, and anything else that normally moves along with free movement of the air. Because air doesn’t flow quite as freely through the thick material, this means that you will save on the time and money you normally spend on correcting those problems.
If you are heating or cooling a room on one side of the barrier, but not the other, then your bills can be reduced dramatically. For example, a refrigerated room used for the cold storage of food can be kept cooler without so much transference of hot air through the entranceway. As the cooling units won’t have to work as hard, your bills will be lower.
Another area in which PVC has an advantage is the fact that it is transparent. This means light can pass through – so having a PVC curtain instead of a solid door means that you won’t be as likely to need to turn the lights on, since natural or electric light will flow from one space into the next.
While noise and smell might not be obvious bill-savers, they can certainly help with reducing the smaller measures that you might undertake. The same is true of the fact that pests are often faced with a barrier to entry in the form of PVC. Not having to buy bug killer or use a fan to circulate smelly air away can also save money along the way.
Staying up for longer
PVC strip curtains are very durable, and can withstand a lot of work both indoors and outdoors. While they might not last as long when exposed to the elements, they will still last a lot longer than some other materials that you might be tempted to go for.
This means that you won’t have to replace them for a good while. Over time, the costing of purchasing and installing your curtains – which is already set at a low price – will seem even more reasonable compared to the alternatives which would require replacing more often. Plus, if you need to replace just one strip from your curtains, you will be able to do this, rather than buying a whole new set just to replace one bit of damage. This is where it really becomes advantageous that there are different strips to deal with rather than one single piece, such as in a door.
Improving safety
PVC curtains can also improve safety in the workplace or even at home, because they provide a barrier that a human being can easily push through without having to open a handle. They’re also see-through, which means you can always see if there is a hazard waiting on the other side.
Reducing the amount of accidents will definitely save you money, as well as limiting downtime and therefore ensuring that your staff operate at full capacity as often as possible. This can be a huge boon for you as a business, and will definitely allow you to save money.
If you are budget-conscious, then PVC curtains are definitely the only way to go. The money you can save over the long run could add up to something really significant!
