PVC strip doors serve the dual purpose of providing a translucent barrier while allowing easy access. If you're in the restaurant or delivery business, or if you have a docking bay at your company, think about using plastic strip doors.

Industrial strip doors consist of strips of PVC vinyl that hang across an entryway. For areas that have constant traffic, yet need separation, industrial strip curtains provide the ideal solution.
  1. Use a strip door for easy access to a refrigerated unit.
  2. Find strip door manufacturers who can customize a delivery door.
  3. Save by adding strip doors to refrigerated trucks.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Choose plastic strip doors for walk-in coolers or freezers


Strip doors, also called vinyl strip curtains, can help you go green when it comes to energy costs. The barrier can keep the cold in and the warmer air out, causing your compressor less work and thus less maintenance. Another aspect is that you will have less frost on products and compressor coils as warm and frigid air will be kept apart. This will extend the shelf life of perishables up to 50%

I recommend: Check out Strip Door World and view several options for plastic strip doors for restaurants. View sizes and estimate prices at StripDoorsForLess.com

Look for PVC strip door manufacturers for your delivery door needs


An advantage of strip curtains is that they can reduce heating or cooling loss from the building at your docking bay, resulting in energy savings. They also can lessen the possibility of outside intrusions from dust, birds or other pests entering your business, contaminating your product or shelves.

I recommend: For strip door manufacturers, check Chase Doors for strip doors as well as hardware for installation. Go to Tresk Industries, which carries standard PVC strip doors and those rated to withstand temperatures of  -40 degrees for colder climates.

Add vinyl strip doors to refrigerated trucks


Go green for the environment and add green to your wallet by adding PVC strip doors to refrigerated trucks in your fleet. The plastic barrier will save you energy costs by decreasing fuel consumption. Trucks can be shut off for a time while maintaining a stable temperature within. Saving costs on fuel can give you the edge on your competitors.

I recommend: For truck strip doors, try TMI or Cool Curtain Industries. Also check Modern Materials Handling; its ribbed PVC curtains hang straight without warping in the cold, creating a better barrier.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • While checking out some of the sites above for plastic strip doors, check the strength of the plastic, the width of the panels and the overlap. Also see whether you can order bulk PVC material to create your own vinyl strip doors, which may result in a savings versus ordering completed doors.
