Plastic door strips promote greater efficiency at industrial and commercial warehouse facilites.

Plastic strip doors are a common sight at industrial facilities and commercial warehouses which use them to save energy, minimize dust and maintain room temperatures at their facility. Plastic door strips promote greater efficiency in use because individuals no longer need to waste time opening and closing doors every time they walk in and out of a room. The same holds true in facilities with loading docks, fork lifts, pallet trucks or other ergonomic material handling equipment.

Vinyl door strips can be installed quickly and sized to fit. Simply cut the vinyl strips to the appropriate length and then fix them to the door frame or wall using the supplied brackets. The vinyl door strips are clear, see through and this will prevent swinging door accidents once they are installed.

Easy Rack Vinyl door strips can be easily cleaned using soap and water to ensure that they stay in good condition, and if they are damaged in use, individual strips, rather than the whole door hanging unit can be replaced in a matter of minutes. Actually fitting plastic strip doors takes very little time, and there are a number of options open to you. For maximum protection and to ensure that noise and dust are kept to a minimum, the strips can be staggered completely to effectively create a double layer of protection. A lower cost solution is to simply have a smaller overlap between neighboring strips so that fewer are required to cover an entire door.

The materials used in the production of these vinyl door strip are fire resistant, and will self extinguish in the event of a fire, making them a very effective barrier between areas that will give staff additional time to escape in an emergency.

One of the most popular uses for plastic strip doors is in closing off dock areas from the main stock house or factory area without restricting efficiency in loading and unloading of trucks. Forklifts attachments can simply push through the flaps onto the loading area, saving time and increasing productivity.
