A roll-up strip curtain barrier apparatus (10) is provided which provides a curtain member (20) suspended from a support roller (22) rotatably mounted about a door opening (12). The curtain member (20) has a plurality of flexible curtain-like strip panels (34) which are adapted to span the door opening and provide an air-blocking seal. In one embodiment, the plurality of the strip panels (34) are disposed in a plurality of rows (40, 42), each row (40, 42) having a plurality of adjacent strip panels (34). In one mode of operation, the flexible strip panels (34) deflect in response to personnel and material passing through the door opening (12). In another mode of operation, the support roller (22) may be rotated so as to wind and elevate the curtain member (20) about the roller (22) and create an unobstructed door opening (12).
