Strip Curtain Measuring Guide
Step 1 – Width x Height
Measure the internal width and the height of the door opening or area where you want to install the strips.
Step 2 – Choose Your Hardware
Decide on the type of mounting that best fits your application.
Wall Mount / Face Fixed is preferred on doorways. This gets the hardware out of the doorway and allows the strips to overlap the door jambs for maximum seal and air lock.
For a Reveal Fixed / In-Jamb header mount, simply order the exact size you need to span the opening.
A Universal Mount can also be used when you are not sure.
Which strip width & overlap?
How we choose the correct Strip Width
For instance, if you have a very tall opening that you are trying to cover, and the strip width is too narrow it will curl at the bottom. The taller the opening the wider the strip must be.
As an example, if you have a 4-metre-high opening and it will be located indoors then ideal strip would be a 300mm wide strip.
- 200mm – Interior Up to 3mtrs / Exterior Up to 2.5mtrs.
- 300mm – Interior Up to 4.5mtrs / Exterior Up to 3.5mtrs.
- 400mm – Interior Up to 5.5mtrs / Exterior Up to 4.5mtrs.
How We Choose Strip Thickness
When choosing a strip thickness, you should consider what will be traveling through the strips:
- 2mm, Ideal for people only traffic such as walk-in coolers – Indoors
- 3mm, Ideal for heavy foot traffic and moderate industrial traffic – Indoors and Outdoors
- Ribbed, Ideal for heavy industrial traffic for strong winds – Indoors and Outdoors
Things to Consider:
Not all strip widths have all thicknesses available.
For heavier traffic doors it is best to choose a Ribbed material over a Smooth material.
300mm and 400mm strips with 100% overlap are not ideal for foot traffic due to the force required to walk through them.
How we choose the correct Strip Overlap
We first consider the type and volume of traffic.
Personnel Doors – For people only access you should utilize small sized strips with less overlap. We would recommend 200mm material with minimal overlap. Use only 200mm material on very small openings because smaller strips have less wind resistance and aren’t ideal for heavy forklift traffic.
Pallet Trucks – This indicates the door will get heavier traffic including material pallets, typically accompanied by a person. In this scenario, 300mm or 400mm material with 35-50% overlap, or 300mm ribbed for a longer lasting solution.
Forklift Traffic – Forklift traffic indicates strip doors will face more abuse. Consequently, large PVC vinyl strip sizes are the best choice. Also consider the load the forklift will carry as the strips will drag over the load. If the load is light, very large strips may drag it off the forklift. Consider 300mm ribbed or 400mm material with 50% overlap. 300mm ribbed if used in windy areas outside.
Temperature Ranges
Our standard strip curtains can operate between +50c down to -15c. Buyers should recognize that PVC strips might break when placed in applications that combine low temperature and impact. The impact may be the result of motorized traffic, wind, or other forces. As a result, it is better to select a strip material with a margin of safety in its temperature range. Freezer / Polar / Low-Temp strips can operate from +30c down to minus -25c. If higher temperatures are needed, then use Heat Rated Strips
