Retractable Vinyl Door | Side to Side

dock door curtains to cover opening

OVERVIEW

Retractable dock door curtains move side to side unlike the roll up vinly doors. They are great for low traffic areas that don't require a lot of opening and closing. They are also less expensive and are great for very large openings. The dock door curtains are designed to give maximum temperature separation (which reduces heating and cooling costs) while giving maximum protection against insects, birds, rodents, or flying debris.  Depending on your application we offer 2 types of retractable doors (Single or bi-parting).

Keep Out The Elements

Paylon retractable dock door curtains offer an economical solution for blocking birds, bugs, and weather while saving your budget. They are much less expensive than other door solutions and if they are hit by a forklift accidentally they are flexible. This means less costly repairs and less downtime. With the energy savings and the low investment cost these curtains are an ideal solution. Retractable vinyl doors can also work in conjunction with your existing steel doors as well. Sliding door curtains are most commonly used in areas with minimal traffic or to cover large openings. Dock door curtains are commonly used in truck loading areas in a warehouse.
