What is the standard width for PVC strip curtains?

The most common PVC strip curtain width is 200mm for pedestrian doors and 300mm for forklift and vehicle access. Wider 400mm strips reduce the number of strips needed and cut costs on very wide openings (3m+). Narrower 100mm strips are used for small access hatches.

What thickness PVC strip curtain do I need?

2mm: light pedestrian use, offices, retail. 3mm: standard forklift access, moderate vehicle traffic, cold rooms. 4mm: heavy forklift traffic, aggressive industrial environments, high-frequency access (30+ passes per hour).

How do I calculate how many PVC strips I need?

Formula: Number of strips = Door width ÷ (Strip width × (1 minus overlap ratio)). Example: 2.4m door ÷ (0.3m strip × 0.5) = 16 strips at 50% overlap. For 100% overlap (cold room), double this: 32 strips.

Can PVC strips be cut to any length?

Yes — PVC strip curtains are cut to your exact door height. Measure from the underside of the hanging rail to 50-75mm above the floor, then order strips cut to that specific length. Most suppliers cut to the nearest millimetre.

What is the temperature range for standard PVC strip curtains?

Standard clear PVC: suitable for -5°C to +60°C. Polar/cold room grade: -30°C to +40°C (remains flexible throughout). Ultra-polar grade: -50°C to +40°C, for blast freezers. Below -5°C standard strips become brittle and crack.
