When it comes to installing PVC strips in a vinyl strip door or strip curtain, Clearway offers a range of high-quality hardware options designed to stand up to the demands of the job. In this blog post, we’ll explore Clearway’s two main styles of hardware: QuickMount and Bolt-On, highlighting the key features of each. Additionally, we’ll delve into the specifics of each category to help you make an informed decision based on your unique requirements.
QuickMount: Faster, Easier Installation
Clearway’s QuickMount hardware series is renowned for its ease of use and efficiency. With the QuickMount hardware it is possible to reduce installation time by as much as 75% compared to traditional methods. Each PVC strip can be installed within 10 to 15 seconds depending on the size. The QuickMount is “universal” which means it can be installed into the face of the wall OR into the header (lintel) of the door way. The QuickMount can accommodate PVC strips which are 4″, 6″, 8″, or 12″ wide.
The QuickMount style encompasses two distinct types: QuickMount MD and QuickMount HD.
1. QuickMount MD
QuickMount MD (Medium Duty) is made from a hi-tech polymer compound which is FDA and USDA compliant. The QuickMount MD is designed for applications with pedestrian traffic, pallet jacks and carts. Most walk-In cooler and freezer doors as well as other pedestrian applications are very successful with the MD. It isn’t appropriate for forklift or other motorized traffic.
2. QuickMount HD
Bolt-On: Indestructible and Secure
1. Wall Mount (Face Mount)
Wall Mount, also known as Face Mount, is a bolt-on hardware option designed for installation on the face of the wall, just above the door. This style is perfect for situations where mounting directly onto the wall above the header is preferred.
2. Header Mount (Jamb Mount or Under-Lintel Mount)
3. Universal Mount (either Wall or Header mount)
Universal Mount, is a Bolt-On hardware option that provides flexibility in mounting configurations. Due to the L-shaped profile having mounting holes into the wall or into the header, the installer can decide at the job-site how they wish to configure the install.
