Ribbed PVC: Strength in High-Traffic Areas
A Smarter Solution for Busy Doorways
In South Africa’s warehouses, cold storage facilities, and food plants, entrances see constant traffic from forklifts, trolleys, and workers. Standard smooth PVC strips quickly become scratched, cloudy, and less effective. Ribbed PVC solves this problem by combining the same flexibility and insulation of standard strips with extra protection for long-term clarity.
Why the Ribs Matter
The raised ridges act like built-in bumpers, absorbing the impact of equipment and reducing scratches on the main strip surface. This keeps the strips transparent for longer, ensuring safer visibility and reducing the need for replacements.
Where Ribbed PVC Excels
Ribbed PVC is ideal for entrances where durability is non-negotiable:
- Cold storage doorways
- Warehouse loading docks
- Supermarket backroom entrances
- Busy processing plant partitions
Operational Benefits
- Extends service life, lowering replacement costs
- Preserves clarity, improving workplace safety
