A magnetic PVC curtain is a split curtain with magnets along the centre edges, so the two halves snap shut by themselves after someone walks through. It is a simple way to close a doorway without using hands, and it is popular in shops, offices, workshops and food outlets. This guide explains how it works and where it fits.
It is lighter duty than a heavy strip curtain, but it closes more neatly, which makes it good for doors that people use all day.

The curtain is made of two PVC panels, or two sets of strips, hung from a rail. Magnets sewn or fitted into the centre edges pull the halves together. When a person walks through, the magnets separate and then close again straight away, leaving no gap.
Typical places include shop and restaurant doors, office and clinic entrances, workshop and service-area doors, kitchens and food outlets and partitions between a clean area and a work area. They keep out dust, insects and draughts while letting people pass with their hands full.
It closes automatically and leaves a clean line. It is easy to install on a standard door frame and cheap to run, because it needs no power. It can be made in clear or tinted PVC, and the panels can be replaced separately if damaged.
A magnetic curtain suits light and medium traffic. It is not intended for forklift doors or wide dock openings, where thick strips are a better choice. Magnets can also pick up metal dust in some workshops, so check the environment first.
Measure the width and height of the door frame. The curtain should overlap the sides of the frame so there are no side gaps, and the bottom edge should stay just above the floor. Fix the rail or track at the top of the frame, hang the two halves and check that the magnets meet in the middle.
A strip curtain is better for heavy traffic, cold rooms and vehicles. A magnetic curtain is better where a neat, self-closing barrier is wanted and traffic is mostly people. See our PVC strip curtains guide for the full comparison.

In a shop, a magnetic curtain can separate the sales floor from a stock room while letting staff carry boxes through. In an office or clinic, it closes off a reception area from a work area and cuts noise and draughts. In a workshop, it can mark the line between a clean bench and a messy area. Choose clear PVC if people need to see each other, and a tinted panel if you want some privacy.
Wipe the panels with a soft cloth and mild detergent, and keep the magnetic edges free of dust and metal particles. If one panel is damaged, order a replacement panel for that side. Check the rail and fixings now and then.
Magnets keep their strength for many years in normal use. Keep the edges clean and replace any damaged panel.
