Curtain Width
If the curtain is to be mounted onto the wall above
the doorway then your required curtain width will be
the width of the doorway opening plus about 20cm
extra to allow for a good seal around the edge.
If the curtain is to be mounted within the door
frame itself then your required curtain width is
simply the width of the opening.
Sizes must be entered into the calculator in
millimetres only. For example 2.1m would be entered
as 2100
Curtain Height
If the curtain is to be mounted onto the wall above
the doorway then your required curtain height will
be the height of the doorway opening plus about
15cm extra to allow for a suitable fixing point
above the door.
If the curtain is to be mounted within the door
frame itself then your required curtain height is
simply the height of the opening.
Sizes must be entered into the calculator in
millimetres only. For example 2.1m would be entered

Fixed or sliding Curtain
For the fixed system each individual PVC strip is
secured in place by hooks on the hanging rail. You
can easily walk through the curtains but you cannot
slide the PVC strips to one side. During the summer
months the strips can be unhooked and removed.
The sliding curtains strips can be moved to one side when not required, or when delicate objects need to pass through the doorway.

Overlap Type
A curtain with a maximum overlap will have slightly
more PVC hanging in the doorway, this creates a
better barrier between you and the elements but
costs a little more. Maximum overlap is between 80%
and 95% depending on Strip width.
A curtain with a minimum overlap won't have as much
PVC hanging in the doorway, and therefore not as
much protection, but will be cheaper and easier to
walk through. Minimum overlap is between 40% and 60%
depending on Strip width.
Edge Warning Strips
Choose YES for this option if you want the two
outermost strips of PVC on your curtain to be made
from bright red PVC. This enhances health and safety
by highlighting the edges of the doorway and so
making it easily visable to forklift truck traffic.
