Frequently Asked Questions — Vinyl Strip Door PVC Bulk Rolls

What are PVC bulk rolls used for?

PVC strip curtain bulk rolls are used for DIY strip door installations and as replacement strips for existing strip curtain kits. You cut the roll to your required strip length, punch mounting holes, and install directly in front of your doorway opening. They are also used by facilities that maintain their own strip doors and prefer to replace individual strips as they wear rather than ordering full kits.

Does mounting hardware come with the bulk rolls?

No. Bulk rolls include the PVC strip material only — no mounting hardware is included. If you need a complete installation kit with hardware, see our Vinyl Strip Door Kits which include pre-cut and pre-punched strips plus universal galvanized mounting hardware.

What variations are available?

Our PVC bulk rolls are available in smooth (standard clear), scratch-resistant ribbed (for higher visibility and durability in high-traffic areas), low temp (formulated to stay flexible in cold environments down to -20°F), and color variations. Available widths are 6", 8", 12", 16", and 48".

What is the difference between smooth and ribbed PVC rolls?

Smooth strips are the standard option for most door applications — clear, transparent, and flexible. Ribbed strips are scratch-resistant and better suited for high-traffic areas where strips take repeated contact from forklifts, carts, and equipment. The ribbed surface also provides improved visibility through the curtain in certain lighting conditions.

What temperature range do standard PVC bulk rolls handle?

Standard PVC bulk rolls handle temperatures from -10°F to 150°F with UV stabilizers that reduce yellowing over time. For walk-in freezer and cold storage applications requiring performance down to -20°F, select the low temp variation.

Are these rolls fire rated?

Yes. All Steel Guard Safety PVC strip bulk roll material is CFM (California Fire Marshal) certified fire and flame resistant.

How do I install strips cut from a bulk roll?

Cut the roll to your required strip length, then punch mounting holes at the top of each strip spaced to match your mounting hardware. Strips can be trimmed on the bottom for a precise height fit. For surface mounting on a wall, cut strips 1 foot longer than your door opening height to allow for the mounting overlap at the top.
