Overlaps

How does that work if I choose to punch my own strips?

If you want to save some money, we supply you with a kit to convert PVC bulk rolls into PVC strips ready for hanging. This option is a great way to get the same quality material but at a greatly reduced price. The kit includes a punch, hole placement ruler, and marker.

Step 1: Cut strips to proper length 

Step 2: Mark the Hole Locations

Step 3: Drill bit the mounting holes into PVC strip

What is the spacing on the holes for the strips?

The holes are on 2" centers, as shown below. The below strip is an 8" wide strip, but all of the strips have the same spacing so that the strips fit studded hardware systems.

Should I order the strips a little taller than the opening?

Only if you want the wall mount hardware. With wall mount hardware, order the strips 6" taller and 6" wider than the opening you are trying to cover since you are mounting them to the face of the opening. Otherwise, order the strips to the exact size of the opening.

Are the height of the strips measured from the hole or the top of the strip?

The height is measured from the top to the bottom of the strip. The holes are located .75" down from the top of the strip.

How do you cut the strips in the field?

You use a utility knife and a straight edge to keep the cut straight.

Hole Spacing

The PVC strip curtains have holes punched every 2" (see example of 8" wide strip below). This allows the strips to fit most of the strip curtain hardware on the market. Please note that you can also purchase the strips without any mounting holes. Some customers choose to use their hardware and punch their mounting holes onsite. Loop style is also available for mounting to bars and tubes. If you want just the strips, then on this form, select "no hardware."
