Insect Control Barriers

Weathershield® Insect Control Barrier Systems are heavy-duty, industrial grade nylon-mesh screens designed to be used on loading dock doors; dumpster doors; ground-level doors; and, other openings where sanitation is desired. As a physical barrier, they help to prevent airborne contaminants (i.e. insects; birds; etc.) from entering the building, while helping to promote air circulation in areas where adequate ventilation is desired.

Barrier systems consist of a patented high-strength, vinyl-coated polyester weave fabric that won't trap heat, yet permits maximum air flow. Light stabilizing agents in the curtain material help to resist fading, thereby allowing the colours to remain vibrant for up to 5 years.

Special antiseptic additives prevent unsightly mildew growth on the fabric and help to resist rotting and decay. A soil-resistant treatment is used so that when required, most dirt can be removed by scrubbing with a mild soap and warm water.

In addition, the self-extinguishing fabric material is fire retardant and conforms to the CFS Fire Marshal's Code; Bulletin 17 - Class #1 for maximum personnel safety.

Weathershield® Insect Control Barriers are available in a choice of three designs; an automatic roll-up style; a manual rollup style; and, a manual sliding style.

Insect Control Automatic Roll-up Barrier


The Automatic Roll-up Barrier uses an economical, motorized system to raise and lower the curtain panel for ease of operation.
