This is roughly how the page will look in Google.
Drive straight through. Contain wash mist and overspray, keep the heating in, and stop the wind coming down the bay.

A workshop lives with its doors open. Vehicles come and go all day, so the roller door spends more time up than down, and everything you are paying to heat goes straight out with it.
Wash and detail bays have the opposite problem. Mist and overspray travel further than people expect, and they end up on tools, paperwork and the car in the next bay.
Then there is the weather. An open vehicle door lets in wind, rain, leaves and every insect in the yard, and your team works in whatever blows in.
Strip doors let a vehicle drive straight through. Nobody stops, nobody gets out to open anything, and the barrier closes itself behind the car.
They contain what you want contained. A run of strips between a wash bay and the rest of the workshop keeps mist and overspray on one side of the line.
Specify by what goes through the opening. 5mm where vehicles and forklifts pass, 3mm for a walkway or a parts store, and clear so a driver can see the bay before entering.
Workshops vary more than food businesses, so treat this as the common pattern rather than a rule. Here is where they usually go.
5mm clear
This is the opening that costs you the most. Cars drive straight through the strips without stopping, so the roller door can stay down and your heating stays inside.
5mm, clear or a colour
This is your containment line. Mist and overspray stop here rather than settling on the car, the tools and the paperwork in the next bay. A colour marks the boundary clearly.
3mm clear
These doorways take people, not vehicles, so 3mm is enough. Keeping workshop dust and noise out of a parts store and an office is worth more than most people expect.
Same job as the entry, in reverse. Clear PVC matters here because a driver needs to see the yard before the nose of the car is through the strips.
Use 5mm, and fit bollards either side where you can. It is cheaper to replace a bollard than a head section that has been hit by a bumper.
Each photo has two bits of text. The caption is what people read under the picture. The alt text sits behind the image where you cannot see it, and is what a screen reader speaks aloud and what Google reads. Both need to be right.
These match the four positions above. Prices exclude delivery and were taken from the live catalogue on 20 August 2026.
Good to deal with, fast free postage and great product. Easy install, see through and keeps the bugs out of the mancave/workshop.
Yes, that is what the heavy gauges are for. Drive at walking pace and the strips part across the bonnet and fall back behind the boot. Use 5mm on any opening a vehicle passes through.
5mm. It comes in 150mm or 300mm, flat surface only. Anything lighter will tear over time on an opening that takes bumpers and mirrors every day.
They will hold most of it on one side of the line, which is the point. The strips overlap so there is no open gap for mist to drift through. They are not a sealed booth, so if you need containment to a standard, check it against that standard first.
No. Strip doors usually go inside the roller door opening, so you can leave the roller up through the working day and still have a barrier.
Bollards either side of the opening are the usual answer. They take the hit instead of the head section, and they are far cheaper to replace.
Yes, we ship Australia-wide. Delivery costs are calculated at checkout based on your location and the size of your order.
We make car wash strip doors and workshop curtains to order, cut to your opening sizes and shipped Australia-wide. Start with the vehicle entry, because that is the opening costing you the most.
Send us your opening measurements and tell us what drives through. We will tell you what gauge to run where.
These are the things we could not confirm ourselves. The page cannot go live until they are sorted.
The whole page assumes drive-through, which is what makes 5mm the recommendation. If most workshop enquiries are for personnel doorways we have pitched it wrong.
We have hedged it and said they are not a sealed booth. If anyone is using them for spray painting there may be a standard involved, and we would rather not go near that claim.
We recommend them twice on this page. If you do not supply them we should say where to get them, and if you do we should link the product.
It has a tiled floor, a drain and a hose, which reads as a wash bay, but it could be a food or industrial washdown area. If we have it wrong the caption needs changing.
Press send and it comes straight to Hilary. Nothing is sent until you do.
