Things To Know When Buying PVC Strip Doors
Are you looking for new PVC strip doors for your facility? Whether it is a storage facility or other industrial operations like food processing, the importance of this type of plastic door strips cannot be highly emphasized. While at first glance it may look like a simple curtain made up of slightly translucent plastic, it serves a great purpose in keeping unwanted elements from entering a room while allowing people and equipment to pass through.
The various industrial and commercial facilities are in favor of using these PVC door strips because they help in maintaining the cost of electricity involved in having an air conditioned facility. This while still allowing the movement of people, products, and machinery in and out of the area and thus not affecting the productivity and the schedule of the staff. Compare that to a facility that has traditional doors set into place wherein the employees would have to stop just to get the door open. Now if that typical door is kept open to keep the traffic flowing, just imagine how much it would cost for its air conditioning system to function properly? The units will work harder trying to maintain the required temperature for the facility.
So how should you go about choosing a new set of PVC strip doors? Here are some tips that you may want to keep in mind.
Get the exact measurements of the door opening where you will be installing a PVC door. After all the vendor or the distributor will still ask you the measurements so they will have a clear idea on the materials that they would need and also for the exact quote that they will provide you. This will also save you time because you will be asked about it after all.
You should also select the type of mounting installation to be used. Here are some of the common ones:
Wall mount – This is the more common type of mounting because the PVC strips can provide a full coverage of the door opening. It is installed on top of the doorway.
Jamb mount – You may already have an idea on what it is like when it comes to its installation. You guessed it right, it is installed within the doorjamb. It is less common because it reduces the height of the door.
Stand off mount – If your door has an existing roll-up, then this is your better option as it has a support bar that extends just above the doorway to where the roll-up goes in and out. The support bar holds the PVC strips.
Just as important in selecting the mount type, you should also carefully select the width of the strips. Actually it is really the width of each strip that matters because the thinner the strip is, the easier it would be for a person to pass through it. And of course the thinner the strips, the more strips there would be.
These are a few of the tips that you can use to help you decide on what type of traffic doorway system or PVC strip doors would fit your facility. Just like with anything else, carefully choose the vendor. Go with someone that can provide a good price and reliable service.
