Standard Smooth strips are suitable for indoor and outdoor temperatures from -10 to 150 degrees F. This versatile material is used across many industries, and won't discolor in sunlight.
Offset rib strip material extends the life of your strip door because it reduces scratching and abrasions from heavy use - your door and your strips will last longer, even under heavy and frequent use. It also provides a stronger seal than conventional strip materials. Use it for tough applications where you need the best possible seal.
Scratch-Guard strips offer superior scratch resistance and better visibility. This innovative, non-stick material also reduces static electricity while providing easier and safer entry for lift trucks, carts, and pedestrian traffic.
