Build Your Own Strip Curtain Tips
Strip Width:* 
The width of each individual strip in a curtain.
Material:*
Strips curtains made for walk-in freezers use a more flexible material than those made for walk-in coolers. This increases lifetime by preventing splitting and cracking at low temperatures.
Texture:*
Smooth - No texture. Flat like a piece of paper.
Ribbed - Raised ridges that run the length of each strip. The ribs protect the curtain from scratching as the strips slide against each other when objects are pushed through. This increases the lifetime of curtains on high-traffic doors, especially where racks and/or other large objects like pallet jacks or forklifts pass through with loads.

Overlap:*
Used to prevent the passage of air, each strip in a curtain must partially cover the strips on either side. The overlap indicates the percentage of each strip that is covered by other strips. For example, if an 8 inch strip overlaps the strip on either side by 1 inch, the overlap would be 25%. (1 inch on left side plus 1 inch on right side equals 2 inches of overlap on an 8 inch wide strip = 2 of 8 = 25%.
Hardware (Mounting Bar):*
QuickMount - Used with 6 inch curtains on the usual walk–in doors: the strips have a hole at the top that hangs on pegs on the support rod.
Universal Mounting bar - Used for hanging larger and heavier 8 and 12 inch strips, where the strips are hung on studs welded to the support rod. Universal mounting hardware can be used to hang on the wall and within the door frame.

Safety Strip Configuration:
Orange strips which are added to the curtain to mark the center, or edges, or both, of a doorway. These are identifying markers are mainly used when traffic is by forklifts and/or other heavy equipment.
