Strip width, thickness, overlap and grade all affect access, durability and environmental performance.
PVC grade
Everyday transparent PVC for internal and sheltered pedestrian or light-traffic doorways.
PVC grade
A softer low-temperature formulation designed to remain flexible in chilled and frozen environments.
PVC grade
Raised ribs on the strip faces reduce direct surface wear from pallets and vehicle contact.
PVC grade
Specialist dissipative material for environments where static buildup must be considered.
PVC grade
Tinted strip material for screening designated welding and workshop areas.
PVC grade
Translucent material that softens visibility while allowing light through.
PVC grade
Opaque material for full visual separation and strong light control.

Confirm the available colour and grade combination with the team before ordering.
| Common size | Typical curtain height | Traffic |
|---|---|---|
| 200 × 2 mm | Often used below 3 m | Pedestrians and light trolleys |
| 300 × 2 or 3 mm | Often used from 3–5 m | Mixed and heavier traffic |
| 400 × 4 mm | Large or tall doorways | Heavy industrial use |
These are general guides rather than engineering limits. Wind exposure, temperature difference, traffic and desired overlap can change the most suitable specification.
A thicker door curtain is not automatically a better choice. Wider or thicker strips form a heavier barrier, but can increase resistance to passage. Match strip size, overlap and material grade to the curtain height, pedestrians or vehicles, temperature and exposure.
| Requirement | Material to consider | Before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| General clear doorway barrier | Standard clear PVC | Check traffic, exposure and temperature |
| Low-temperature access | Polar / freezer-grade PVC | Compare the actual temperature with the material data |
| Repeated vehicle contact | Ribbed PVC | Review vehicle and load dimensions and strip wear |
| Static-sensitive specification | Lime-green anti-static PVC | Review the reported electrical results against your requirement |
| Welding screening | Welding-grade PVC | Use the appropriate welding product; ordinary coloured PVC is not equivalent |
Use the measuring and ordering guide to choose a starting specification. If the doorway is unusually tall, exposed or heavily used, send your dimensions and traffic details before selecting material.
