Made to Measure PVC Strip Curtains & Impact Doors UK
Most PVC strip curtain kits are supplied in standard width and drop configurations. For non-standard openings, unusual mounting situations, or specialist applications, made-to-measure solutions deliver a better result than forcing a standard kit to fit.
When Do You Need Made to Measure?
- Opening wider than 4m or taller than 4m
- Unusual door geometry (arched openings, tapered walls)
- Non-standard fixing positions (no overhead header, side-mount required)
- Specific overlap percentage not achievable with standard strip counts
- Combination of strip grades in one curtain (e.g., solid black at base, clear above)
- Very precise length requirements for temperature-critical cold stores
PVC Impact Doors — A Step Up from Strip Curtains
For the highest-traffic industrial doorways, PVC impact doors offer a more robust solution than strip curtains. Constructed from heavy-gauge PVC panels in a rigid frame, impact doors are designed for continuous forklift contact without damage.
- Self-closing — return to position after impact automatically
- High-impact rated — withstand direct forklift collision without damage
- Full-height seal — better thermal performance than strip curtains in high-traffic situations
- Made to measure — every impact door is custom-built to your opening dimensions
Strip Curtains vs Impact Doors — Comparison
| Factor | PVC Strip Curtains | PVC Impact Doors |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Lower | Higher |
| Forklift durability | Good (ribbed/heavy duty) | Excellent — designed for direct impact |
| Thermal performance | Good at rest; partial on pass-through | Excellent — full seal reinstated faster |
| Installation | Simple — DIY in most cases | Professional fitting typically required |
| Maintenance | Replace individual strips | Panel or hinge replacement |
| Best for | Moderate forklift traffic, most applications | Very high-frequency forklift traffic, cold stores |
