PVC strip curtains are not a one-size-fits-all solution. Two key specifications determine their performance:
Strip Thickness (in millimetres)
Overlap Ratio (percentage of strip overlap)
Choosing the wrong thickness or overlap can lead to:
Air leakage
Poor durability
Safety risks
Regulatory non-compliance
This guide will help you confidently select the correct combination for your industry and application in India.
Common Thickness Options:
| Thickness | Best For |
|---|---|
| 2 mm | Light-duty, AC cabins, showrooms |
| 3 mm | Medium-duty, warehouses, hotels, offices |
| 5 mm | Heavy-duty, forklifts, industrial movement |
| 8 mm | High-traffic areas, large vehicles, dock bays |
💡 Thicker curtains resist wind, temperature loss, and mechanical impact better.
| Width | Typical Use Area |
|---|---|
| 200 mm | Door heights < 7 feet |
| 300 mm | Door heights 7–10 feet |
| 400 mm | Large warehouse entries or vehicle bays |
👷 Wider strips = fewer gaps = better insulation.
Overlap refers to how much one PVC strip overlaps the next strip.
| Overlap Ratio | Ideal Use |
|---|---|
| 30% | Minimal insulation, basic partition |
| 50% | General-purpose, light air control |
| 66% | Better sealing for dust/insect control |
| 100% | Air-tight sealing, pharma, cleanrooms |
📌 Higher overlap = Better sealing, but slightly reduced visibility.
| Application Area | Recommended Thickness | Overlap Ratio | Strip Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| AC Rooms/Offices | 2 mm | 30–50% | 200 mm |
| Restaurant Kitchens | 2–3 mm | 50% | 200 mm |
| Warehouses (medium use) | 3 mm | 66% | 300 mm |
| Cold Rooms | 3 mm (soft) | 100% | 300 mm |
| Loading Bays | 5–8 mm | 66–100% | 300–400 mm |
| Pharmaceutical Cleanrooms | 3–5 mm (magnetic) | 100% (sealed) | 200 mm |
| Welding Booths | 3–4 mm (Red) | 50–66% | 300 mm |
✅ Always consider the frequency of movement, temperature variation, and purpose.
📦 Problem: Regular 2mm curtains were tearing due to forklift movement.
🛠️ Chronovex Recommendation:
