Chiller Cabinet Strip Curtain | Clip-In Clear PVC Blind for Open Multi-Deck Fridges, 100mm Food Safe Strips | 0.6m to 4m Wide

A clear PVC strip curtain for the open front of upright multi-deck chiller cabinets, so the cold stays in the cabinet while shoppers still reach straight in for milk, sandwiches and drinks. Narrow 100mm high-clarity strips hang from a white clip-in rail on the cabinet's top fascia down to its base sill. Shoppers pass a hand between two strips to pick up a product, and the strips fall back into place behind them. Unlike a night blind, which only works once the store is closed, the curtain stays in place through trading hours. The rails fix with pre-fitted heavy-duty double-sided tape, so most cabinets need no drilling, and the strip sections lift out in seconds for restocking. Made to your cabinet: 35 widths, 600mm to 4000mm, and 6 drops, 800mm to 1800mm. Every size is priced in full inc VAT.

Why fit one to your chillers

Lower running costs. An open multi-deck spills cold air out across the aisle all day. The curtain holds that air in the cabinet, so the refrigeration does less work and cycles less often. Savings of up to 60% on cabinet running costs are reported for this type of curtain; your saving depends on the cabinet, the store and how busy the aisle is.

Steadier product temperatures. With the front closed, dairy, meat and food-to-go stay nearer the set temperature through busy periods, which helps you keep within your food safety limits and cuts frost build-up.

A warmer aisle. Less cold air spilling out means shoppers and staff are not standing in a cold draught, which makes them more likely to stay and browse.

Products stay on show. The PVC is clear, so every shelf is still visible and shoppers can still serve themselves.

Where it is used

Supermarket chiller aisles, convenience stores, petrol station forecourt shops, farm shops and butchers, sandwich and meal deal cabinets, dairy and drinks chillers, hotel breakfast chillers, staff canteens and catering display fridges.

Measuring and choosing your size

Width. Measure the open front between the two inner edges of the cabinet. Choose that width, rounding up to the next 100mm. Runs of cabinets longer than 4000mm take two or more curtains fitted end to end. Curtains over 1200mm wide come in joining sections.

Drop. Measure from the underside of the top fascia down to the top of the base sill. Choose the next drop up; the strips trim easily with sharp scissors.

Fixing surface. You need about 60mm of flat vertical surface above and below the opening for the taped rails. If your cabinet has a curved fascia, bumper rails or price-ticket rails in the way, call us before ordering; on large or curved cabinets the rails can be screwed in place (screws not supplied).

Every width from 600mm to 4000mm in 100mm steps is listed above the basket button. Widths under 1000mm are priced as 1000mm. Need a drop over 1800mm or a curved fascia? Call us for a quote.

Fitting and care

Clean the top fascia and base sill with an alcohol wipe and let them dry. Peel the backing from the taped back rails and press them firmly along the cabinet above and below the opening, keeping them level. Clip the strip sections into the back rails from one end so they butt up end to end. Leave the tape to bond for a few hours before heavy use. To restock or clean, unclip a section, wash it in warm soapy water, rinse, dry and clip it back. Avoid solvent cleaners on the PVC.
