More Information

ribbed-strip-curtain

Why use ribbed strip curtains? The ribbed strip curtain reduces scratching from loads passing through the opening. The high ridge of the strip takes the friction leaving the low part of the strip clear and easy to see through.

Are ribbed strip curtains ideal for people? Ribbed strip curtains are better suited to motorized traffic with light foot traffic from people. They are a heavier strip due to the ridges of the ribs.

Are the ribbed strips more expensive? Yes, ribbed strips are about 15% more expensive than a standard flat strip.

Are the ribbed strips difficult to install? No. Just like standard flat strips the ribbed strips are easy to install and require no special tools. Just place the strips over the studded hardware and lock the strip down with the nut and washer.

The Best Ribbed Strip Curtains

Easy Install

Ribbed PVC Strips are cut to your desired length and with pre-punched mounting holes for a quick installation.

Crystal Clear

AKON ribbed strips use stabilizers which are are very clear, superior to calcium/zinc and barium/zinc  stabilizers

Anti-Fungal

Anti-fungal inhibitors are used to prevent fungal growth on the surface of the PVC ribbed strips to control mold growth and clouding

Consistent Thickness

PVC is made at the proper thickness and tension to prevent strip curving as it travels from the top to the bottom of the opening

Dimensions

8-inch-welding-strip-bulk-roll

Hole Spacing

When selected, the PVC ribbed strips come with holes punched every 2" (see example of 8" wide strip above). 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 punch their own mounting holes onsite.

12-inch-welding-strip-bulk-roll

Strip Widths

The ribbed strip door rolls come in 8", 12" and 16" widths.  The 8″ wide strips are the most common and widely used. The 12" and 16" wide strips would be ideal for applications where there is heavy motorized traffic or when the strips needs to be taller than 10' in height.

Use this simple matrix to choose the ideal strip width and overlap for your application.

Personnel = Foot traffic
Light Duty = Foot traffic and pallet jacks
Heavy Duty = Motorized traffic with occasional foot traffic

Calculating Strips Needed

How Many Strips Do You Need?

The table below will show you how many strips you will need to cover your opening (regardless of the height)

For instance, a 10' wide opening using 8" strips with 50% overlap would need 20 strips to cover the area. If you had a 20' opening (which is wider than what is on this chart) you would take 20 strips x 2 = 40 strips.

Testimonials

"AKON had the quality that was lacking with our previous industrial curtain supplier. We run a fortune 500 company that relies on zero downtime. The AKON industrial curtain system just lasts longer and is made of better materials. I informed purchasing that if its not from AKON, then we don't want it!" - Fred Dixon 

"The AKON wash bay curtains look great! No one was as helpful or as knowledgeable as your staff and that was a big deciding factor for us. When the wash bay curtains arrived the installation was flawless. We now have a wash bay curtain that we can be proud of and that will last for many years." - Jackie McGarb

"THE BEST!!! Hands Down!!. The curtains have stronger grommets and the vinyl is the best quality that we have seen. The service is also top notch and we have answers to our questions instantly. You can tell this is a well run company and they have taken care of all the projects that we have thrown at them." - Mike Richards
