Stand Off Strip Curtain

Industrial PVC stand-off strip curtains mounted around a roll-up door, clear flexible strips sealing the opening for weather and dust control.
Stand-off mount PVC strip curtains installed on an overhead industrial door, providing easy access while reducing drafts and temperature loss.

When a roll-up door’s drum blocks a normal strip mount, the stand-off strip curtain creates a 3-sided enclosure that sits forward of the drum to seal the opening, no major construction required. Side uprights are field-adjustable in/out for a perfect fit; a cross-member spans the opening. Add an optional 20 mil top curtain to make a full enclosure.

  • Mounts in front of roll-up drums to seal dock or shop openings.
  • Adjustable stand-off hardware for exact fit; cross-member completes the frame.
  • Optional top curtain (20 mil) closes the header gap for full containment.
  • Use standard, low-temp/food safe, welding, opaque, or ESD strip materials.

Strips Come In Several Different Materials

Clear PVC strip curtain covering a door opening past the roll-up drum, creating a protective barrier while allowing smooth passage.

Outward Projection Hardware

The hardware projects out and away from the wall to clear the steel drum or other styles of door hardware. The bracket extends outward up to 60cm from the wall to accommodate almost all applications.

PVC Strip Widths

Strips come in several different widths and thicknesses depending on the height of your opening and the type of traffic that will pass through it. The strip thickness is an important part of picking a strip for your PVC strip door so
that entry and exit is quick and easy.

Accordion Fold Up Strips

Accordion-style retractable strip curtains stand off mounted on industrial hardware, enabling sections of clear PVC curtains to fold up neatly.
Retractable PVC strip curtain system in industrial setting, mounted away from the wall to allow clearance for industrial rolling door with accordion folding to one side to clear space when full access is required.

Strips That Fold Up

Accordion Strip Doors are clear and transparent PVC strips that are widely used at dock doors and other doorways to reduce heat loss or cooled air through doorways, protect workers, and reduce noise. They are the ideal solution for door openings that require curtains, which need to be periodically moved out of the way. For instance, in the summer or winter months, during extreme conditions, you can close the industrial accordion strip doors to conserve energy.

What is a stand-off strip curtain?

A strip curtain mounted on a forward frame that clears the roll-up door drum. Two side uprights and a cross-member form a 3-sided structure so the strips can seal the opening.

When would I use stand-off hardware instead of a standard header mount?

Use it when the roll-up drum or header blocks a normal mount. The stand-off frame positions the strip door in front of the drum to reduce drafts while keeping the door operational.

Can I close the gap above the roll-up drum?

Yes—add an optional 20 mil clear top curtain to close the header space and create a more complete enclosure.

Is the frame adjustable?

Yes—side uprights are field-adjustable in/out to hit the required stand-off depth and align with your opening.

Which strip materials can I use?

Standard clear, ribbed clear, low-temp/food safe for freezers, welding tints for hot work, opaque for privacy, and ESD for static-sensitive areas.

Can the entire strip wall slide open?

Yes—pair the stand-off frame with sliding strip hardware (track + rollers) to move the strip wall aside for full access.

How do I measure for a quote?

Provide opening width × height, drum size/location, and the required stand-off depth. Photos or a quick sketch help ensure a perfect fit.

Do you provide installation instructions?

Yes—step-by-step directions are available for mounting the uprights, cross-member, and hanging the strips/top curtain.

Measuring

Step 1 – Track to Track Distance (W)

  • Measure the distance from outside to outside of roller track that the door rolls in on the vertical wall.

Step 2 – Projection Distance (P)

  • Measure the distance from the wall to that the strip curtain brackets wont get in the way of the overhead door tracks.

Step 3 – The Height of the Opening (H)

  • Measure the distance of the actual opening from the floor to the bottom of the drum.

Strip Widths

PVC Strip Size Has 2 Aspects

  • Strip Width
  • and Thickness

How We Choose The Correct Strip Width

By using the simple chart shown below you can choose the appropriate
width of strip. For instance, if you have a very tall opening that you are
trying to cover and the strip width is too narrow it will curl at the bottom.
The taller the opening the wider the strip must be.

As an example if you have a 4.2m high opening and it will be located indoors
then ideal strip as shown in the chart below would be a 30mm wide strip.

How We Choose Strip Thickness

When choosing a strip thickness you should consider what will be traveling
through the strips.

  • 1.5mm- Ideal for people only traffic such as walk-in coolers - Indoors
  • 2mm- Ideal for heavy foot traffic and light industrial traffic - Indoors
  • 3mm - Ideal for moderate industrial traffic - Indoors and Outdoors
  • 4mm - Ideal for heavy industrial traffic for strong winds - Indoors and Outdoors

Things to Consider

  • Not all strip widths have all thicknesses available
  • For heavier traffic doors it is best to choose a Ribbed material over a Smooth material.
  • 30mm and 40mm strips with 100% overlap are not ideal for foot traffic due to the force required to walk through them
Strip Overlap

How We Choose The Correct Strip Overlap

We first consider the type and volume of traffic.

  • Personnel – Doors for people-only access should utilize small sized strips
    with less overlap. Consider 15cm or 20cm material with 33% to 67% overlap. Use
    10cm material only on very small openings because smaller strips have less wind
    resistance and aren’t ideal for heavy forklift traffic.
  • Pallet Trucks – This indicates the door will get heavier traffic including
    material pallets, typically accompanied by a person. In this scenario, 15cm
    material with 67% overlap, or 20cm with 25% or 50% overlap is the best option.
  • Forklift Traffic – Forklift traffic indicates strip doors will face more abuse.
    Consequently, large PVC vinyl strip sizes are the best bet. Also consider the load
    the forklift will carry as the strips will drag over the load. If the load is light, very
    large strips may drag it off the forklift. Consider 30cm material with 50% to 100%
    overlap or 40cm material if used windy areas outside.

Chart Of Overlaps

Things to Consider

  • User 67% or higher overlap for outdoor strips along with 30cm to 40cm wide strips
