Vinyl door strips offer a practical way to separate work areas while keeping doorways accessible. Flexible strips allow employees, carts, and equipment to move through openings without repeatedly opening and closing a conventional door. EMCO offers several vinyl door strip options for facilities that require practical barriers with different visibility, temperature, and material characteristics. These products are part of EMCO's broader selection of industrial plastics for commercial and industrial applications.

What Are Vinyl Door Strips?

Vinyl door strips consist of flexible plastic strips installed across a doorway or opening. When personnel or equipment pass through, the strips move aside and return toward their original position afterward. This provides a convenient passage point for areas with regular foot or equipment traffic.

Their flexibility makes them useful where a permanent rigid door could slow movement between work areas. Depending on the selected material and configuration, vinyl strips can also provide separation while allowing visibility through an opening. Proper sizing and installation are important for achieving the intended coverage and performance.

Vinyl Door Strip Options for Different Applications

EMCO provides several vinyl door strip options to address different facility requirements. Clear vinyl door strips can help maintain visibility between adjoining spaces, making them useful where personnel need to see through the opening before passing through.

Ribbed vinyl door strips provide a different surface configuration for industrial applications, while USDA low-temperature vinyl door strips are available for environments exposed to colder operating conditions. EMCO also offers amber weld screen tinted PVC door strips, which can be considered for applications where a tinted material is appropriate.

Selecting the right option depends on factors such as temperature, visibility, traffic, and the surrounding work environment.

Where Vinyl Door Strips Can Be Used

Vinyl door strips can serve a variety of industrial and commercial openings. Facilities may use them between production areas, warehouses, storage spaces, temperature-controlled rooms, and other locations where employees and equipment need regular access.

They can be particularly practical for high-traffic openings because users can pass through without manually operating a door. Depending on the application, the strips can also provide a physical separation between areas while keeping the opening functional.

Material Considerations and Plastic Engineering

The operating environment should guide your choice of vinyl material. Temperature is especially important for facilities with refrigerated or cold areas. Visibility may also be a priority in busy workspaces where employees and equipment share passageways.

Other considerations can include flexibility, moisture exposure, traffic frequency, and contact with surrounding materials or conditions. EMCO's experience with plastic engineering and industrial plastics provides a useful foundation for selecting products based on actual application requirements rather than choosing a material based on appearance alone.

Choosing the Right Vinyl Door Strips

Before selecting a product, identify the conditions the strips will encounter and the dimensions of the opening. Providing this information can make it easier to determine which option is appropriate for the application.

  • Consider: opening width and height, operating temperature, visibility requirements, traffic frequency, environmental conditions, and any applicable industry requirements.

For specialized environments, discussing the application with EMCO can help you narrow the available choices and identify a suitable vinyl strip configuration.
