Material Overlap of Vinyl / PVC Strip Doors
TMI Vinyl / PVC Strip Doors Use Different Overlaps For Different Purposes
The Ameri-Brand strip door calculator automatically figures the overlap you will need according to your door size and application. However, we want to provide you a bit of strip door information so that you understand why you received teh overlap ont he strip door you order.
TMI has performed extensive research by installing different size strips and overlaps in various locations for various applications. Through this research we have developed a calculator that automatically formulates the most cost effective and efficient strip door configuration for your unique situation.
For example, smaller strips are used in smaller doors for easier pass through. As the door gets taller, you can increase the width of the strip and still maintain easy passage. We have also kept in mind that taller doors typically require more overlap for better air block. Drafy or windy conditions or heavy mechanical traffic such as forklifts require thicker vinyl and so on...
After TMI's years of research and testing results, we believe that we have covered just about every situation we can think of in our calculator.
Overlap of the vinyl strips on your door are based on the door height, the location and kind of traffic. Ameri-Brand offers (5) different widths of strip material and are available in six different overlap patterns.
Overlap configurations:
- For interior doors apply minimum strip overlap
- For exterior doors apply maximum overlap
- For heavy-duty traffic applications, use offset double-ribbed material
