PVC strip doors for nurseries and garden centres. Hold glasshouse heat and humidity, keep pests out of propagation, and push a trolley straight through.

The Challenge in a Nursery

A glasshouse is expensive to condition and easy to lose. You heat it, you humidify it, and then a door stands open while someone wheels a trolley through and the whole lot walks outside.

Propagation is the fussy part. Young stock needs stable temperature and humidity and no pests, and it usually sits in the same structure as everything else with nothing but an opening between them.

The traffic makes it worse. Trolleys, barrows and racks move through all day, which is exactly why the doors end up hooked open and left that way.

Does this match what nurseries and garden centres actually deal with?

How Strip Doors Solve It

Strip doors hold conditions without anyone closing anything. Push a trolley through and the strips part and fall straight back, so the glasshouse stops leaking heat every time someone passes.

They keep the light, which matters more here than anywhere else. Clear PVC lets the daylight through, so you get a barrier without shading the crop.

They also give you a pest line. A run of strips across a propagation doorway stops most of what flies in from the growing house next door.

  • Heat and humidity held: Conditions stay in the house you are paying to condition
  • Daylight kept: Clear strips do not shade the crop
  • Pest barrier: Propagation stays separated from the main house
  • Trolley friendly: Barrows and racks push straight through
  • Retail ready: A colour on the shop entrance keeps the wind out
Are the specs right?

Where Strip Doors Go in a Nursery

A nursery is usually several structures joined together rather than one building. These are the four boundaries that come up.

Floor plan of a nursery showing where strip doors go: 3mm clear at the deliveries entrance, clear strips separating the propagation house from the growing house, 3mm ribbed Polarflex Freezer grade on the cold store, and a colour on the retail entrance

Deliveries and hardstand · Outside in

3mm clear

This is where the weather gets in. Stock, trolleys and staff come through from the yard, and every opening lets out the heat you have paid for.

2

Propagation house · Young stock

Clear, 2mm or 3mm

Propagation is the one worth protecting. Young stock wants stable temperature and humidity and no pests, and a run of strips gives you that boundary without shading anything.

Cold store · Bulbs, cut stock and seed

3mm ribbed, Polarflex Freezer grade

Cold storage is the same story as any other trade. Every opening dumps conditioned air. Ribbed PVC stops the strips sticking together in the damp cold.

Retail entrance · Customers in

A colour, 1.5mm x 75mm

A garden centre entrance is a shopfront like any other. A colour keeps the wind and the insects out, and it reads as part of the signage rather than a fitting.

Clear is usually the right call under glass

Everywhere else we talk about colour for screening. In a glasshouse the crop needs the light, so clear is the default and colour is only for the retail side.

Nurseries were not something we discussed. Does this match the enquiries you get?

Questions and answers

Will strip doors shade my crop?

Clear PVC lets the daylight through, which is why it is the default under glass. It is not perfectly transparent, so we would not run it across a whole growing area, but on a doorway the loss is negligible.

Will they hold humidity in a propagation house?

They reduce how much escapes through the doorway, the same way they hold cold air in a cool room. They are not a sealed environment, so if you are running tight humidity control they are part of the answer rather than all of it.

Can a trolley or barrow go through?

Yes. That is the main reason nurseries use them. 3mm handles constant trolley traffic, and the strips fall straight back so the doorway is never left open.

How do they cope with UV under glass?

Ask us before you order. PVC in a high UV position behaves differently to PVC on an internal doorway, and we would rather set expectations at quote stage.

Will they keep pests out of propagation?

They are a physical barrier, so they stop a lot of what would otherwise fly straight through an open doorway. They are not insect screen and will not do the job of one.

Do you deliver to regional areas?

Yes, we ship Australia-wide. Delivery costs are calculated at checkout based on your location and the size of your order.

Are all these answers correct?

Getting Started

We make nursery strip doors to order, cut to your opening sizes and shipped Australia-wide. Start with the propagation house, because that is where conditions matter most and where the stock is worth most.

Send us your opening measurements and tell us what goes through. We will tell you what to run where.

Questions we need you to answer

These are the things we could not confirm ourselves. The page cannot go live until they are sorted.

How does our PVC hold up in a high UV position under glass?

We have written an FAQ telling people to ask before ordering, because we do not know. If there is a UV rating or a known life we should say it. If PVC is a bad idea under glass we should say that instead.

Have you done any nursery or glasshouse work?

The strategy doc lists this as a temperature control angle. But we have no install, no photo and no customer, so the page is reasoning rather than experience.

Is clear really the right call under glass, or does that just wear out faster?

We have argued for clear so the crop keeps the light, which contradicts the colour-for-screening advice on every other page. Worth checking that reasoning holds.

Can we get a photo of a nursery install?

We are using a stock photo of a greenhouse with no strip curtain in it.
