Customers often ask us which size of strip is right for their application. We offer many different sizes of strip but the most common are:
- 4” x .060”
- 6” x .060”
- 8” x .080”
- 12” x .120”
- 16” x .160″
- For door openings less than 8 feet high, 4” x .060” and 6” x .060” strips offer the best ease of entry for pedestrian traffic.
- For door openings up to 10 feet high, 8” x .080” strips provide the right balance between ease of entry and sealing the doorway from airflow.
- For door openings up to 14 feet high, 12” x .120” strips add 50% more thickness and weight, which helps to resist movement.
- For door openings over 15 feet high, 16” x .160” strips do the best job of hanging firmly in the doorway, to prevent airflow.
When choosing a PVC strip door, choosing the right strip size can make a big difference in the performance of the door. Other conditions, like the amount of wind or air movement and the percentage of strip overlap can also play an important role.
