Make Inferior Refrigeration Night Covers
Plastic and Vinyl Strips for Open Refrigerated Merchandisers
Plastic strip curtains hung on refrigerated display
cases are not energy efficiency as they allow heat and ultra violet
radiation
to penetrate the case covers.
Plastic display case shields quickly become yellowed, scratched, and
dirty, further obstructing an already unclear view of the perishable
goods in the
refrigerated display case. Plastic strip case covers are also a physical
obstruction that must be moved aside when customers want to access refrigerated
merchandise.
Vinyl strips were intended to remain on refrigeration display cases
24 hours a day, but lowering ECONOFROST refrigeration night covers
for only
9 hours
is more energy efficient than 24 hours of vinyl strips due to the aluminum
heat reflective fabric of ECONOFROST’s night curtains.

Plastic Refrigeration Display Case Curtains
Plastic night curtains that pull down over the opening of refrigerated
display cases during the supermarket’s closed hours have been
marketed by almost every retailer at one time or another; like strip
curtains they provide minimal
energy efficiency because they do not reflect heat and ultra violet
radiation. Plastic refrigeration nightshades become yellow, brittle,
and soon crack
or tear, quickly reducing your pay back. Commercial refrigeration night
covers of this type attract moisture, dust, and mildew, which is a
health issue
and
is unappealing to customers.
Plastic night curtains are manufactured in small segments of up
to four feet. They are manually operated and often do not even have
a
spring
mechanism to
ensure proper functioning. ECONOFROST refrigeration shields on the
other hand can be made in widths of 4 feet, 6 feet and 8 feet and
are available
in either
manual or fully automatic styles.

Refrigerator Case Glass Doors
Glass doors commonly used on supermarket display cases for packaged
frozen products will reduce sales if they are used on refrigeration
display cases containing perishable goods because they reduce the
visibility of fresh items whose sales rely heavily on eye appeal.
Any energy saved by installing glass refrigerator doors is offset
by the energy needed to heat the glass to prevent it from fogging.

Polyester Film Refrigeration Night Covers
Night covers made from thin polyester film show a much lower energy
savings than reflective aluminum night shields. These cheap low quality
night curtains lose their formed tension in a short time and become
an obstruction for customers who want to access items in the refrigeration
display case. In addition, polyester film display case blinds soon
become yellowed and dirty. Many who try cheap night covers quickly
discard them due to their poor appearance and performance.
