Maintenance

Installing air curtains over doors in a hospital is a once and for all project and requires little maintenance. Plastic curtains, on the other hand, require frequent cleaning and maintenance. In addition, hospital managers need to replace old curtains with new ones on a regular basis because plastic curtains/strip curtains have a relatively shorter lifespan than air curtains.

Benefit-Cost Ratio

A plastic curtain is a lower price product, but it must be replaced and maintained regularly. The air curtain, however, has a much longer life and requires little maintenance, so it costs less in the long run. So if a hospital manager has a sufficient budget, he should choose air curtains for hospital doors. If he does not have a sufficient budget, he could use plastic curtains in the short term.
