Plastic doors can also be installed in the shrink wrap to allow winter work inside the boatThe shrink wrap color that we normally use is White blue. Blue shrink wrap is better for the cold snowy climate. Blue absorbs heat an this allows snow to slide off the shrink wrap and not sit on the boat, your outdoor furniture or equipment. It’s also 7mm in thickness. This gives great durability for protection. Most damage that occurs to boats comes from the weight of snow an water accumulation on the canvas and windows we get this in from America Complete Polythene Zipper Doors Polythene zipper doors are considered to be an important element in the design and installation of environmental containment systems and for use with shrink wrapped boat covers. This type of zipper door is constructed of a heavy duty clear polythene sheet (standard sizes below). The zipper is a ‘U’ shape and the zipper has pulls on each side to allow the zip to be opened from ether side of the door.This polythene zipper door is simply taped on to the covering. Where the zipper door is being used on a shrink wrap boat cover then the zipper door is applied after the shrink wrap has been shrunk and is applied with a good adhesive tape, not heat. Normally, the zipper door is applied so that after opening, the zipper door hangs in the opening and can be rolled up and taped. However, a zipper door could also be installed the other way up so that the rolled up portion of the door was stepped over during entrance and exit. After the zipper door has been applied to the plastic cover, the zipper is opened and the flap rolled up. The cover underneath is then cut away to leave a hole which is the same size as the zipper door. It is a good idea to use a safety knife for this so that the product underneath is not damaged.Doors normally come in 3 sizes 30″ W x 36″ H (0.76 x 0.91m) – ‘The Hatch’ – Ideal for small boats or other items or where only occaisonal access is required. 30″ W x 48″ H (0.76 x 1.22m) – ‘Regular Zipper Door’ – These make getting under a shrink wrap cover really easy. Traditionally applied to shrink wrapped boats but also used on other wrapped items such as vehicles and modules and pods used in the offsite construction industry. 30″ W x 72″ H – ‘Large Door’ – This is the polythene zipper door that is most often used on shrink wrapped scaffolding and other large projects where easy access for personnal and equipmen through a polythene plastic wall is required. Self Adhesive Zipper OnlyThe ‘complete’ polythene zipper doors are quick and easy to use but they do create a lip or step at the bottom of the zip up door that must be stepped over on entrance and exit. Also, they are supplied in a number of standard sizes. Where a wider zipped access is required, or where a step is undesirable then a self adhesive zipper is the answer.The self adhesive zippers are normally sold in a pack of two and are approximately 2 metres, or 6′ long. After removing a paper backing, the zipper is applied to the desired area. The zip is opened and then a sharp knife is used to cut down between the teeth of the zip to create access. A single self adhesive zipper forming a slot ot flap is the simplest application. Alternatively, two zippers can be applied to a plastic cover, side by side, at any distance apart side to create a custom sized garage door that can be rolled up to allow even equipment and machinery through.Polythene zipper access doors can be bought in any quantity from overland.
