Flexible, transparent or opaque sheets made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or similar polymers, commonly employed as barriers in industrial and residential settings to divide spaces. An example includes vertically hung strips creating a partition within a garage opening.
Such installations offer advantages like temperature regulation, reducing energy consumption by minimizing heat loss or gain. They also provide a barrier against dust, insects, and drafts, creating a more comfortable and usable environment. Historically, similar materials have been utilized in manufacturing facilities to separate work areas and control environmental conditions.
