AKON heat curtains are used to protect, isolate, and reflect extreme heat sources. Our heat barrier curtains are ideal for creating isolated spaces to shield workers and products from extreme heat exposure commonly found near ovens. We offer a full range of industrial heat resistant curtains which are used to isolate heat producing machinery and processes. These heat resistant curtains improve production efficiency and increase safety by containing molten splash and sparks. You can choose from the standard sizes shown below, or you can use our custom quote form and have one of our experts pick the right material for your exact application.
6 mounting styles to connect to various structures
Free standing hardware for up to 20' in height
Static Mount Hardware
Aluminum Angle - Use with self tapping Tek screws to pinch curtain to angle.
Grommets Only - You can then use many DIY methods to hang the curtains.
Beam Clamps - Clamps onto the flange of beams, joists and purlins.
How to Measure
Width
Measure the distance that you are trying to cover and then add 5% to that dimension and enter it into the width box.
TIP - You want to add that 5% for the proper drape of the curtain to properly cover the span.
Height
Measure the distance from the floor to the above mounting point (from where you would attach the curtain track) and subtract 3 inches, and then input it into the height box.
TIP - If you are not using any hardware, then you don't need to subtract the 3"

Common Questions
What is the spacing from the bottom of the track to the top of the curtain?
Standard curtains have approximately 3.75 to 1″ of a gap from the bottom of the track to the top of the curtain.
What are the dimensions of the track?
Can the track be cut to size as required on site?
Yes, the track is made to be field cut on site using a hack saw or sawzall.
How much width does the radius corner add to the length?
A radius corner has a 2' radius. So if you input 10' for curtain length you will end up with 12' when you attach the radius corner. If that is too long then simply cut the track onsite and the radius will still work.
How does the track go together?
The track is modular in design and will arrive in pieces that have a simple bolt together design.
How close together do I need the track supports?
The track should be supported approximately every 5' with a track support. The farther apart the track supports, the greater the deflection. If you have a relatively light weight curtain then you could space the supports out to about 8' apart. You will receive enough track supports with your order to achieve this 5' spacing.
Can I simply drill straight through the track and into the ceiling / structure?
Yes. This is called a flush mount install and is very common. Simply drill through the middle of the track and use a small wood screw, bolt, Tek screw...ect into your structure. Space the holes about every 3-5'.
How hard is it to install the industrial curtain track?
It is very easy. All of the components simply fit into each other and connect with set screws. The installation is very intuitive. If you have any difficulty simply call or email us and we will walk you through the process.
Will the track rust? Can it be used in wet environments?
The track is Hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) which is often used to protect steel from corrosion in some of the harshest environments imaginable, yet it provides maintenance-free longevity for decades. The corrosion resistance of hot-dip galvanizing varies according to its surroundings but generally corrodes at a rate of 1/30 of bare steel in the same environment.
