Choosing a Strip and Overlap 

Use this simple matrix to choose the ideal strip width and overlap for your application.

Overlaps

Here is a visual representation of the strip overlaps.

Hook On Rails

• Most popular mounting style
• Strips have steel mounting plates attached

Quick Mount

Stud Mounts

Free-Standing Mount

• Supported from the floor up
• Used in open floors when you can support from above
• Click here for this style

Rolling Hardware

• Allow the strips to roll out of the way
• Ideal for complete access when strips are not needed
• Note the strips roll like a barn door and do not fold up

Tube Mount

• Fits up to 2" diameter pipe
• Each pipe clamp is 4” wide and holds 2 strips (overlapped)

Should I order the strips a little taller than the opening?
Only if you want, the wall mount hardware. With wall mount hardware, order the strips 152mm taller and 152mm wider than the opening you are trying to cover since you are mounting to the face of the opening. Otherwise, order the strips to the exact size of the opening.

Are the heights of the strips measured from the hole or the top of the strip?
The height is measured from the top of the strip to the bottom of the strip. The holes are located 19.05mm down from the top of the strip.

How do you cut the strips in the field?
You use a utility knife and a straight edge to keep the cut straight.

Do I need to cut the strips myself?
No. When you order a kit, we cut the strips to your specific opening height. However, we usually advise ordering a few centimeters longer than your exact opening height to allow for floor variations; you can easily trim the bottom with a Stanley knife after hanging them for a perfect fit.

What is the difference between "Minimum" and "Maximum" overlap?
Minimum Overlap: Uses fewer strips. The strips overlap slightly (usually ~50mm). This is easier for pedestrians to walk through and costs less. Best for internal partitions.
Maximum Overlap: Uses more strips with a deeper overlap (usually ~100mm). This creates a tighter seal against wind, rain, and cold. We recommend this for external doorways or areas where insulation is the top priority.
