Overlap Guide

How to choose PVC strip curtain overlap.

Overlap affects sealing performance, ease of passage and the total amount of PVC material needed for an opening.

Selection Logic

More overlap improves separation, but also increases resistance.

Light pedestrian accessLower overlap can be easier to walk through where sealing requirements are moderate.
Warehouse trafficMedium overlap is common for carts, pallet jacks and general industrial separation.
Cold roomsHigher overlap helps reduce cold air loss and should be matched with low-temperature PVC.
Loading baysHigher overlap and stronger strips may be needed for wind, dust and forklift traffic.
RFQ noteSend opening size and traffic type so overlap can be calculated together with strip width.
