About Semi-Rigid
Semi-Rigid PVC is used as “Semi-Rigid Glass”. It is offering clarity, brightness and adaptable ability to be bent or rolled-up.
Semi-rigid PVC strip is most recommended to achieve flexible windows in roll up doors, rapid doors, automatic doors, semi-rigid panels for swing doors or strips doors in warm weather countries.

Why Use Semi-Rigid PVC?
Semi-rigid PVC has a variety of uses but is most commonly used as PVC swing doors, acting as a thermal insulating barrier in doorways, while still allowing pedestrian to pass through freely.
This often occurs in warehouses or factories, where it is essential for traffic to move freely through doorways, while also ensuring that the doorways are insulated to keep the warehouse or factory warm and sealed
Commun applications and beneficts
Swing doors with semi-rigid PVC:
Swing doors are commonly used in refrigeration environments such as walk-in coolers and freezers. They are designed to maintain the integrity of the refrigerated space while providing easy access for personnel and equipment.
The use of a semi-rigid PVC increases the rigidity of the panel and provides better hold of the door when opening.
High-Speed Roll-Up Doors:
These are designed for fast operation and are commonly used in high-traffic areas to improve efficiency and reduce air exchange between different environments.
High-speed roll-up doors made with PVC are often used in cleanrooms, food processing areas, and places where hygiene is paramount. They offer easy cleaning and maintenance.
Warehouse and Loading Docks:
PVC strips are installed at warehouse entrances and loading dock areas to create barriers that block dust, insects, and outside elements while facilitating the smooth flow of goods and vehicles. They also help maintain indoor temperature levels and reduce noise from external sources.
The use of semi-rigid PVC is particularly recommended when the outside temperature is hot, whereas flexible PVC will be too sticky due to the effect of the temperature.
