Butcher Curtains

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

This contractor decided to use butcher curtains to drive energy efficiencies and environmental benefits to the project.

The use of butcher curtains to cover the external temporary and permanent doors or openings provided a draft-free environment inside the building, even if the doors were open, the curtains prevented cold air from entering the building and rooms and prevented hot air from leaving those areas.

To create the hot air/heating in the building the team had to use temporary mains electricity to heat the temporary manifolds for the underfloor heating and 110v electric induction heaters. The hot air and heating were also being created using a 100kva generator and induction heaters.

Butcher curtains helped to maintain an ambient temperature overnight when the power was turned off.

The curtains are re-usable and will be transferred to the next available project, they are also recyclable as they are made out of recycled plastics.
