Overview
Strip curtain doors are a long-lasting investment, but individual strips wear out over time — especially in high-traffic doorways, loading docks, and temperature-controlled environments. Rather than replacing an entire strip door system, facilities can maintain performance and extend the life of their installation by swapping out worn or damaged strips with fresh material from bulk rolls. These 100-foot rolls of transparent PVC vinyl strip material from Action Industries provide the same durable, flexible material used in pre-cut strip door systems, available in four width and thickness combinations to match existing installations or build new ones.
The PVC material is UV-stabilized to resist yellowing, resistant to inorganic acids, bases, and salts, and compliant with USDA, FDA, and Agriculture Canada requirements for use in food processing, food storage, and food service environments. It meets CPAI-84 and California State Fire Marshal flame resistance requirements and operates in temperatures from -10°F to 140°F.
Available Sizes
Each roll contains 100 feet of continuous PVC strip material. Select the width and thickness that matches your existing strip curtain installation or the requirements of a new application.
- WB060-06-Z-100 — 6 inches wide × .060 inches thick. Recommended for interior doors with light traffic such as walk-in coolers, pedestrian passages, and low-frequency openings.
- WB080-08-Z-100 — 8 inches wide × .080 inches thick. Recommended for interior doors with medium traffic including forklift passages, warehouse doorways, and production line transitions.
- WB120-12-Z-100 — 12 inches wide × .120 inches thick. Recommended for interior or exterior doors with medium traffic and taller entryways such as loading dock openings and large warehouse doors.
- WB160-16-Z-100 — 16 inches wide × .160 inches thick. Recommended for exterior doors with high traffic and tall entryways including dock doors, drive-through openings, and heavy equipment passages.
Strip Overlap Options
Strip curtains are installed with overlapping strips to create a continuous barrier while still allowing traffic to pass through. The amount of overlap affects seal tightness, energy retention, and ease of passage. All four strip sizes support 100% full overlap for maximum seal performance. Partial overlap options vary by strip width — 6-inch and 12-inch strips support 66% partial overlap, while 8-inch strips support 50% partial overlap, and 16-inch strips support 66% partial overlap. Choose full overlap for temperature-controlled environments and partial overlap for high-traffic areas where ease of passage is a priority.
Applications
Bulk PVC strip material serves two primary purposes — replacing worn or damaged strips in existing installations and building new custom strip curtain assemblies. Common facility applications include loading dock doors, cooler and freezer room entries, clean room transitions, spray booth enclosures, welding screen barriers, machinery enclosures, conveyor openings, car wash bays, warehouse partitions, and any doorway where environmental separation is needed without restricting traffic flow.
PVC strip curtains provide measurable benefits across these applications. They retain heated or cooled air to reduce energy costs, meet OSHA noise standards for sound reduction between work areas, help prevent birds, insects, and rodents from entering controlled spaces, and block dust, dirt, fumes, and smoke from passing through doorways.
Specifications
All four strip sizes share the same base material specifications. The PVC vinyl is transparent for improved visibility and workplace safety, UV-stabilized to resist yellowing over time, and resistant to inorganic acids, bases, and salts. The material meets CPAI-84 and California State Fire Marshal flame resistance requirements and is compliant with USDA, FDA, and Agriculture Canada standards for food-contact environments. The operating temperature range is -10°F to 140°F. Individual strips can be cut from the roll and installed on existing doorframe headers, wall-mounted brackets, or sliding track systems.
Selection Assistance
If you are replacing strips in an existing strip curtain installation, match the width and thickness of the current strips. If you are building a new installation, select the strip size based on the traffic type (pedestrian, forklift, or heavy equipment), the location (interior or exterior), and the height of the opening.
