The Challenge for Butcher Shops

Your cool room door is the most expensive door in the shop. It has to hold temperature to the degree, but your team is through it dozens of times an hour carrying trays, pushing trolleys and serving customers.

You pay twice every time that door opens. Cold air escapes and warm air rushes in, so the compressor works harder and your cold chain is at risk. An open doorway also lets flies in, and slows your team down when their hands are full.

FSANZ requires butchers to keep strict temperature control and pest management, under Standard 3.2.2 of the Food Standards Code. Fail an inspection and it costs you fines, lost product and your reputation.

Does this match what butchers actually deal with?

How Strip Curtains Solve It

A strip curtain seals the doorway and still lets your team walk straight through, hands full or not. The strips overlap to hold the seal, then fall back into place behind them.

A cool room needs 3mm ribbed PVC in 150mm or 300mm, in Polarflex Freezer grade. The ribbed surface stops the strips sticking together in cold, humid air.

Lighter internal doorways take 2mm ribbed in 150mm or 200mm, at a lower cost.

  • Temperature control: Hold cold air in the room instead of losing it to the shop floor
  • Pest management: Physical barrier that meets FSANZ hygiene requirements
  • Energy savings: Lower refrigeration costs by reducing compressor workload
  • Workflow efficiency: Hands-free passage for staff carrying product
  • Visibility & safety: Clear strips allow line-of-sight through doorways
Are the specs right?

Which Strip Curtain Goes on Which Door

A butcher shop has four doorways and each one needs something different. Here is what we fit where, and why.

Floor plan of a butcher shop showing which strip curtain goes on each of the four doorways: bright colour on the front door, red blue or smoke on the retail-to-boning-room doorway, smoke on the back door, and 3mm ribbed Polarflex Freezer grade on the cool room
1

Front door · Street-facing

Bright colour, matched to your branding

Your front door is doing two jobs at once. It keeps insects out and gives you a food safety barrier, and it makes the shop visible from the footpath. Pick a colour that matches your branding rather than clear.

2

Middle doorway · Retail floor to prep or boning room

Red, blue or smoke. Never clear

Blood marks show on clear PVC and are hard to keep looking clean, so use a colour. Your customers can see this doorway from the shop floor, so it needs to look decent. Food inspectors prefer a colour here too.

3

Back door · Bins outside

Smoke

Smoke doesn’t show dirt or blood. There is a lot of protein waste going out this door, which means a lot of flies in summer.

4

Cool room · Cold storage

3mm ribbed, Polarflex Freezer grade

This is the door that pays for itself fastest. If you only fit one strip curtain in the shop, fit it here. The same goes for a freezer if you have one.

Meat rail running through the doorway?

Mount the head section as high as possible above the rail so the strips fall around it rather than fouling on it.

This is your door-by-door from the call. Anything to add or correct?

Customer quote

Dealing with Stripdoors from first contact to delivery was excellent, fast, and the product is great. I got my item and installed it within 1 week, very happy with it. And my cool room sits on 3 degrees with the door open, how good is that.

Questions and answers

What thickness of PVC strip curtain do I need for my cool room?

Go with 3mm ribbed PVC in Polarflex Freezer grade, in either 150mm or 300mm width. It is more durable in a busy doorway and insulates better than 2mm. If you run motorised pallet trucks or a forklift through the opening, step up to 5mm, available in 150mm or 300mm, flat surface only.

Are your strip curtains food-safe and HACCP compliant?

Yes. Our PVC strip curtains are made from food-grade PVC that is safe for use in food preparation and storage environments. They help you meet the temperature and hygiene requirements in Standard 3.2.2 and your HACCP food safety program.

How do I clean PVC strip curtains in a butcher shop?

Wipe them down with warm soapy water or a food-safe sanitiser. Strips unhook individually from the stainless steel head section if you need to clean them properly. We recommend cleaning as part of your regular hygiene schedule.

Can I replace individual strips if one gets damaged?

Yes. Our stainless steel hook-on head sections let you unhook and replace a single strip without taking the whole door down. That is worth having in a butcher shop, where the strips nearest the trolley line wear fastest.

Do you deliver to regional areas?

Yes, we ship Australia-wide. Delivery costs are calculated at checkout based on your location and the size of your order.

What mounting system should I use for a butcher shop?

Use the hook-on stainless steel head section. Stainless resists the harsh cleaning agents used in food environments, and the hook-on design makes it easy to remove strips for cleaning or replacement.

Are all these answers correct?

Questions we need you to answer

These are the things we could not confirm ourselves. The page cannot go live until they are sorted.

Are these the right four products to recommend for a butcher shop?

You were asked on the 10 Aug call to nominate 2–3 but the call moved on. This is our pick from the verified range, not yours.

Does 1.8mm x 75mm Ribbed still exist in colours? Dark Smoke, Light Smoke, Purple, Blue, Italian.

Photos in the folder are labelled that way, including the butcher shop shot. But the verified range says colours only come in 1.5mm Flat and ribbed only comes in Clear. If 1.8mm ribbed smoke is still available it is probably the better back-door recommendation.

How do the 1.5mm x 75mm colour rolls mount? There is no 75mm hook-on plate.

Plates only come in 100, 150, 200 and 300mm. Front and back doors both call for 75mm colour rolls.

What is the real dispatch time, and roughly what does metro delivery cost?

The old draft claimed “dispatched within 1 business day” and “approx $25 metro” with no source, so both have been pulled.

What temperature is Polarflex Freezer grade actually rated to?

The old draft said -50°C. We could not verify it, so it has been removed.

Is there a butcher customer who would give us a quote for this page?

The testimonial is a real Google review about a cool room, but no butcher-specific review exists. Same low-friction approach as Malcolm at SRA. We draft it, they approve.
