Made-to-Measure Clear PVC Strip Curtain – Heavy Duty for Motorised Traffic & Large Openings

Made-to-Measure Heavy Duty Clear PVC Strip Curtain – Motorised Traffic & Large Openings

Our toughest clear PVC strip curtain, made to measure for loading bays, external dock doors and large warehouse openings with regular forklift, reach-truck and other motorised traffic. On the listed standard sizes, wide 400mm strips in 3mm or 4mm PVC are bolted to a fixed track rather than hooked on, giving each strip extra support where vehicles pass through all day. Drivers can see through the opening, and the curtain helps keep heat in and dust, debris and insects out.

Red marker edge strips on both sides come as standard on the listed sizes, so drivers can see exactly where the edges of the opening are.

Two ways to order: pick a standard size from the list (bolt-on track, face-fixed, red edges, price shown for every size), or type in your exact opening and choose strip, overlap, track, fixing and marker edges yourself. Exact sizes on a hook-on track are priced instantly; bolt-on and sliding tracks, and openings wider than 4,950mm, are priced on request. Contact us for a quote and we usually reply the same working day.

What's in the box (listed standard sizes)

• 400mm wide clear flexible PVC strips, 3mm or 4mm thick, cut to your height, in the right quantity for your width and overlap
• Red marker edge strips on both sides of the opening
• Bolt-on fixed track with the strips bolted on
• Wall or steelwork fixings are not included. Choose fixings rated for your structure.

Choosing your strip

• 400mm x 4mm, medium overlap: the heaviest strip at the lowest price of the three. Well suited to busy internal doorways.
• 400mm x 3mm, maximum overlap (about 98%): a full seal with a slightly lighter, more flexible strip, handy on doors shared with people on foot
• 400mm x 4mm, maximum overlap (about 98%): the strongest barrier for external, windy or temperature-sensitive openings

Maximum overlap makes a heavier curtain that hangs better and seals better, for a little more money. For heavy duty and external doors, strips of 3mm to 4mm with maximum overlap are the recommended choice.

Other options on request or through the exact-size calculator: 400mm x 3.7mm and 300mm x 3mm clear strips, partial overlap, hook-on or sliding track, under-lintel fixing, no marker edges, and other PVC grades: ribbed, low temperature, low temperature ribbed, anti-static, food grade and Stop-Bac antibacterial.

Technical specification

How to measure

1. Measure the structural opening width in millimetres, post to post.
2. Measure the structural opening height in millimetres, from the floor to the underside of the lintel, beam or door head.
3. Choose the listed size at or just above your opening, or enter your exact measurements. On a face-fixed curtain the strips overlap the sides of the opening.
4. Wider than 4,950mm? Contact us with your measurements for a quote.

Frequently asked questions

Why a bolt-on track instead of hooks?
Bolting each strip to a fixed track gives it extra support in heavy duty use. A hook-on track is quicker to fit and lets single strips lift off for replacement; you can choose it in the exact-size calculator.

3mm or 4mm?
4mm is stiffer and stands up better to wind, so it suits external docks. 3mm with maximum overlap is a little easier for people on foot to push through on mixed-use doors.

Can a forklift drive straight through?
Yes, that is what this curtain is for. Drivers can see through the clear PVC, and the red edge markers show the width of the opening.

Will it keep the heat in on a loading bay?
A maximum-overlap curtain helps cut draughts and heat loss through an open door, while keeping out dust, debris and insects.

Can damaged strips be replaced?
Yes. Remove the damaged strip and fit a replacement without taking the whole curtain down.
