Choose your rail, then choose your strips.
Not every doorway suits a standard kit. Every individual strip comes ready fitted with its stainless steel hanging plate, so it hooks straight onto the rail: pick the rail for your opening, then as many strips as the doorway needs, in any mix of grades.

Choose your rail
The stainless steel suspension rail fixes above the opening and carries the strips. Join rails end to end for wider doorways.
Stainless steel suspension rail
From £12.951.5 mm gauge rail in 984, 1230 and 1450 mm lengths, with or without the heavy-duty lockable option.
Choose rail2
Choose your strips
Nine grades, all 200 mm wide, in lengths from 2 m to 5 m, each fitted with a hanging plate. See what each grade is for on the strip curtain page.

Choose railHow to choose
Four steps to the right curtain.
Pick the grade for the environment, then the strip width for the opening and traffic, then the overlap for how well it needs to seal, then measure. If any answer is unclear, call us before you order.
- 1
Choose the grade
The environment rules most options out: cold store, ESD-sensitive, food area or general warehouse.
- 2
Choose the strip width
Match the strip to the opening height and whether it takes people, trolleys or forklifts.
- 3
Choose the overlap
50% for internal pedestrian doors, 100% where it has to seal hard.
- 4
Measure the opening
Width and height in millimetres, plus an allowance for how the rail is fixed.
Step 1 — Grade for the environment
Each grade is a different PVC formulation. Start here, because it removes most of the choice.
| Grade | Best for | Choose it when |
|---|---|---|
| Standard clear | Pedestrian doors, internal partitions, general warehouse | Ambient temperature and everyday traffic |
| Double-ribbed | High-traffic doorways and loading bays | You want the ribs to take the scuffing instead of the face |
| Polar / freezer | Cold rooms, chillers and freezers | Standard PVC would stiffen and crack in the cold |
| Anti-static, anti-insect, perforated, white and coloured | Static control, insects, airflow, screening and zoning | You need a specialist grade: these are sold as individual strips |
| Koolshield™ thermal | Cold stores where energy and condensation are the real cost | An insulated panel rather than a PVC strip: a tested R-value, and no strips to drip |
Ask us to confirm the specification for any formal requirement — cold-store temperature range, static dissipation or food contact.
Step 2 — Strip width and thickness
Wider, thicker strips hang straighter and seal taller openings. Narrower strips are easier to walk through.
| Strip | Best for | Typical opening |
|---|---|---|
| 200 × 2 mm | People and light trolley traffic | Internal doors up to about 3 m |
| 300 × 2 mm | Forklift and pallet traffic, taller openings | Up to about 4.5 m |
| 400 × 4 mm | Large vehicle doors, high wind, external openings | 4.5 m and above |
Our door kits are made in 200 × 2 and 300 × 2. For 400 × 4 openings, send us the door size and we will quote.
Step 3 — Overlap
Overlap is how much of each strip is covered by its neighbour. More overlap seals better, but uses more PVC and takes more effort to walk through.
| Overlap | Sealing | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 50% (standard) | Good | Internal pedestrian and light-traffic doors at ambient temperature |
| 100% (full) | Best | External doors, cold stores, windy locations and openings over about 3.5 m |
Every door kit is priced for both, so you can compare before you order.
Step 4 — Measure the opening
Measure the clear opening in millimetres, then add an allowance depending on how the rail is fixed.
| Fixing | Curtain width | Height |
|---|---|---|
| Face-fixed (rail on the wall) | Opening width + 100–150 mm, so it overhangs 50–100 mm each side | Opening height plus an allowance so the rail sits above the door |
| In-reveal (rail inside the opening) | The exact opening width | Opening height, with strips finishing just above the floor |
Strips should just skim the floor. New strips are often curled from the roll and straighten out over a few days once hung.
PVC strip or Koolshield™ thermal curtain?
On a cold-store doorway the question is not only what it costs to fit, but what it costs to run. PVC is the low-cost barrier; Koolshield is an insulated panel with a tested thermal performance, for doorways where energy and condensation are the problem worth solving.
| PVC strip curtain | Koolshield™ thermal curtain | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Overlapping flexible PVC strips | Insulated 300 mm panels, supplied in eight colours |
| Thermal performance | Reduces air exchange at the doorway; not an insulated panel | Independently tested: R-value 0.936 m²K/W, U-value 1.06 W/m²K |
| Temperature range | Polar grade for cold rooms and freezers | −25 °C to +70 °C |
| Condensation | PVC strips can sweat and drip in a cold doorway | Designed to stop the dripping and icing that follows |
| Standards | REACH compliant, DOP-free on the grades that state it | Recycled non-toxic materials, compliant with BS 467-4 and ASTM C 1338 |
| Starting price | From £66 for a complete 1000 × 2100 mm kit | From £320.66 for a 0.90 × 2.10 m door |
| Best for | Most doorways: pedestrian, warehouse, loading bay | Cold stores, production lines and temperature-controlled areas |
Koolshield fits standard hook-on and locking rail systems, so it can replace a PVC curtain on an existing rail. Bespoke sizes, vision panels and food-grade options are available on request.
Kit, individual strips, or roll?
Three ways to buy, depending on whether you are fitting a doorway from scratch or maintaining one.
| If you want to | Buy | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Fit a complete doorway | A door kit | Pre-cut strips and a stainless steel rail, ready to hang in your size and overlap |
| Replace worn strips, or pick a specialist grade | Individual strips with hanging plates | Nine grades, each fitted with a plate: swap one strip or build a whole curtain |
| Cut your own, or fit a large or non-standard opening | A 50 m roll | Trim to length yourself for bulk and bespoke installations |
Worked example: a 1000 × 2100 mm internal pedestrian door
Everyday foot traffic, ambient temperature, fixed to the wall above the opening. That is standard clear grade, 200 × 2 mm strips and 50% overlap — the 200 × 2 Standard door kit at 1000 × 2100 mm, £66 excluding VAT. The same kit at 100% overlap is £80.

Why buy your door kit from Crystal Rubber
The right grade, fitted properly, delivered fast.
Complete, ready to hang
Every strip is supplied fitted with a slotted stainless steel hanging plate, and kits arrive with the rail to match, so most installations need only basic tools.
Grades for cold stores
Polar grade stays flexible where standard PVC would stiffen and crack, so chillers, cold rooms and freezers keep a barrier that still works at temperature.

Questions
Frequently asked.
What is included in a door kit?
Pre-cut PVC strips and a stainless steel hanging rail system, for the width, height and overlap you choose.
What width PVC strip do I need?
Use 200 mm for internal pedestrian doors up to about 3 m, 300 mm for forklift and pallet traffic or taller openings up to about 4.5 m, and 400 mm for very tall, external or high-wind openings. Our kits are made in 200 × 2 and 300 × 2; ask us about 400 mm.
Should I choose 50% or 100% overlap?
Choose 50% for internal pedestrian and light-traffic doors, and 100% for external doors, cold stores, windy locations and openings over about 3.5 m. Full overlap seals better but uses more PVC and takes more effort to walk through.
How do I measure my doorway?
Measure the clear opening width and height in millimetres. If the rail is fixed to the wall, add 100–150 mm to the width so the curtain overhangs 50–100 mm each side, and allow height for the rail above the opening. If the rail sits inside the opening, use the exact opening width.
Do PVC strip curtains save energy?
A well-fitted, well-maintained curtain with the right overlap meaningfully reduces the air exchange at a doorway, which is where the saving comes from. How much depends on the fit, the overlap and the condition of the strips: worn or gappy strips lose much of the benefit, which is why they are worth replacing.
What is polar or freezer grade PVC?
A low-temperature PVC formulation that stays flexible in chillers, cold rooms and freezers, where standard PVC stiffens and can crack. Tell us the temperature you are working at and we will confirm the right grade.
What is Koolshield and when is it worth it?
Koolshield is an insulated thermal curtain rather than a PVC strip curtain: 300 mm panels with an independently tested R-value of 0.936 m²K/W, rated −25 °C to +70 °C, and designed to avoid the condensation and icing that PVC strips can suffer in a cold doorway. It fits standard hook-on and locking rail systems, so it can replace a PVC curtain on an existing rail. It costs considerably more to buy, so it earns its place on cold-store and temperature-controlled doorways rather than on a general warehouse door.
Can I buy just the strips, or just the rail?
Yes. Individual strips come fitted with a hanging plate and are sold by length, and the stainless steel rail and hanging plate sets are sold separately, so you can build or repair a curtain piece by piece.
Can I fit it myself?
Yes. Fix the rail to a solid wall above the opening rather than to the door frame alone, hang each strip from its plate to your chosen overlap, and trim the strips so they just skim the floor.
How do I clean them?
Wipe both faces with a soft cloth, mild detergent and warm water, then rinse and dry. Avoid abrasive pads, bleach and strong solvents, which can cloud or degrade PVC.
When should I replace the strips?
Replace strips that have cracked or torn, especially at the top near the fixings, gone brittle, yellowed heavily or shifted so they no longer overlap correctly. You can replace individual strips rather than the whole curtain.
Why are new strips curled?
They have been rolled for storage and transport. Once hung they straighten out over a few days.
