Heavy Duty PVC Strip Curtains

Heavy Duty PVC Strip Curtains

Heavy duty PVC strip curtains are designed for demanding industrial environments where standard-grade strips would wear prematurely. Available in 3mm and 4mm thickness, they withstand constant forklift contact, vehicle access, and heavy foot traffic without splitting or tearing.

Why Choose Heavy Duty?

• 3mm strips — ideal for forklift access doors with moderate traffic (up to 30 passes/hour)
• 4mm strips — maximum durability for high-frequency vehicle access, loading docks and wash-down areas
• Longer service life — typically 2–3× that of standard 2mm strips in the same environment
• Available in standard clear, polar-grade and anti-static variants
• Supplied in 200mm, 300mm and 400mm widths

Typical Applications

Loading bays, cold store access doors, food production entrances, waste management facilities, agricultural buildings and any doorway with consistent forklift or vehicle traffic.

All heavy duty strips are available made to measure — cut to your exact door height with the correct overlap for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions

What thickness are heavy duty PVC strip curtains?

Heavy duty strips are 3mm or 4mm thick. 3mm suits forklift doors with moderate traffic; 4mm is for high-frequency vehicle access, loading docks and wash-down areas. Standard 2mm strips are for pedestrian doorways.

What strip widths are available?

Heavy duty PVC curtains are supplied in 200mm, 300mm and 400mm wide strips. Wider strips are used on larger openings and vehicle doors.

How much should the strips overlap?

Overlap depends on the application: around 56–60% for general warehouse and loading bay doors, and up to 80% where better temperature or draught control is needed.

Can heavy duty strip curtains be made to measure?

Yes. Kits are cut to your door height and rail span, or you can buy 50m rolls and cut strips to length on site.

Are heavy duty strip curtains suitable for freezers and cold rooms?

Yes. Choose polar grade PVC, which stays flexible at sub-zero temperatures, for cold stores and freezer doors.

How are heavy duty PVC curtains fitted?

Strips hook onto a galvanised rail fixed with face-fit, underside-fit or behind-fit brackets, so individual strips can be replaced without taking the curtain down.

Heavy Duty Plastic Door Curtains for Forklift Traffic

Heavy duty plastic door curtains use thicker 3mm and 4mm PVC strips that withstand constant pallet truck and forklift impact without tearing or deforming. They are the go-to choice for warehouse loading bays, goods-in doors and factory openings where a standard 2mm strip would wear out quickly.

Buy as complete kits, as 50m PVC curtain rolls to cut yourself, or with swivel hinge rails that let strips pivot on impact.
