Antimicrobial Fabrics for Blinds and Curtains

The vast majority of microbes don’t present a threat to humans.

However, some microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, protozoans, fungi, algae and archaea, can damage products and cause serious illnesses.

Antimicrobial solutions are designed to destroy or inhibit the growth of microorganisms, especially pathogenic ones.

Antimicrobial and antibacterial fabrics are commonly used in medical facilities as a layer of protection to reduce microbial population and prevent odours and stains.

These fabrics have become more prevalent outside of healthcare settings recently, although one type of fabric is often overlooked: blind and curtain fabrics.

There is a renewed concern about fabrics spreading infections through cross-contamination by direct contact.

A pathogen-fighting layer of defence can aid infection control, prolong the life of the fabric and protect the surface from microbes.

This applies in healthcare settings, offices and homes.

Blinds and curtains are prone to developing stains and bad odours, and washing alone is not always effective at eliminating microorganisms.

Some treatments are proven to resist harmful bacteria by up to 99.9% and remain effective after many washes.

Antibacterial technology is effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria, including:

• E. coli
• MRSA
• Salmonella
• Campylobacter
• Listeria

The benefits of antimicrobial properties are:

• Increased infection control
• Reduced stains and bad odours
• Longer product life
• Latest Biocote technology
• Easier cleaning

Wipeable Roller Blinds

Our antimicrobial roller blinds prevent bacteria and other microbes from attaching and developing on the surface.

They are treated with a coating which inhibits bacterial growth and provides a wipeable surface for complete removal.

This coating also makes them moisture resistant, which is ideal where they may be susceptible to stains and splashes.

These are suitable for:

• Medical facilities
• Dental practices
• Schools
• Kitchens
• Bathrooms
• Toilets

The blinds are made to measure to meet your exact requirements, including longer or wider than usual window dressings.

They are also available in a large range of colours.

Reusable Curtains

We supply the innovative Stericurtain, which is a reusable PVC-coated curtain with antimicrobial properties and a wipe-clean surface.

They drape like a conventional curtain and are a more cost-effective and sustainable option than disposable alternatives.

They are flame retardant, will not tear or stain and are resistant to mould and mildew.

Barrierscreen is made using the same quality materials as Stericurtain, with the addition of a split vision roll-up panel that allows for complete visibility across a hospital ward.

Stop the Spread of Infection

Why not replace your current blind fabric or curtains with our trained fitters and prevent cross-contamination, improve your infection control and reduce the most common sources of illness?
