Measuring Choosing The Correct Strips Hardware Material FAQ Ordering Measuring
Step 1 – Width x Height
- Measure the width and the height of the door
opening or area where you want to install the
strips. - Add 6″ more in total height and add 6″ total in width
if you want wall mount hardware
Step 2 – Choose Your Hardware
- Decide on the type of mounting that best fits
your application- Wall mount is preferred on doorways. This gets
the hardware out of the doorway and allows the
strips to overlap the door jambs for maximum
seal and air lock. - For in-jamb use header mount, simply order the
exact size you need to span the opening. - Universal mount can also be used when you are
not sure.

Hole Spacing
The pvc strip curtains come with holes punched every 2″ (see example of 8″ wide strip below). This allows the strips to fit the vast majority of strip curtain hardware on the market. Please note that you can also purchase the strips without any mounting holes. Some customers choose to use their own hardware and punch their own mounting holes onsite. Loop style is also available for mounting to bars and tubes. If you want just the strips then on this form select “no hardware.”
FAQ
What is the spacing on the holes for the strips?
- The holes are on 2″ centers as shown below. The below strip is an 8″ wide strip but all of the strips have the same spacing so that the strips fit studded hardware systems.
Should I order the strips a little taller than the opening?
- Only if you are wanting the wall mount hardware. With wall mount hardware order the strips 6″ taller and 6″ wider than the opening you are trying to cover since you are mounting to the face of the opening. Otherwise order the strips to the exact size of the opening.
Are the height of the strips measured from the hole or the top of the strip?
- The height is measured from the top of the strip to the bottom of the strip. The holes are located .75″ down from the top of the strip.
How do you cut the strips in the field?
- You use a utility knife and a straight edge to keep the cut straight.
Are the strips ready to hang and already punched?
- Yes the strips are shipped out and ready to be hung right out of the box.
