Available Sizes

All our curtains are custom-made to ensure you get the perfect fit around the area which has the hazardous chemicals. Ideally, you should have your chemical splash curtains at around 30-40’ in width for easier installation. If you need to cover a wider space, you can simply install multiple curtains and connect them with Velcro strips or magnets.
Our curtains have a maximum height of 60’. In case of height issues, you can purchase valance panels to preserve your facility’s ceiling and to eliminate the additional cost of renovating the top half area of your structure.

Choose From Two Styles

PVC Strip Curtains

You can choose between strip curtain doors, walls, replacement strips, and more. The strip curtain doors offer unique benefits. You can quickly enter or leave a room without the need to open or close anything. They provide chemical splash protection without hindering the movement of people or materials. The chemical resistant strip curtain walls are perfect for dividing and organizing different manufacturing processes. You can stretch them for long distances. You have rich a choice when it comes to shapes, colors, sizes, and designs. There is a solution if you already have the hardware. Our quick ship pre-punched PVC strips will do the job.

Solid Curtain Walls

The most commonly used industrial splash curtains are heavy duty vinyl coated polyester fabric. Vinyl is the common name for PVC. Both are, in fact, the same material. The 18 oz. Material is either PVC Coated Polyester or PVC Laminated Polyester. Their exterior seams are made from rot-resistant nylon thread while their interior seams are heat welded to ensure that the curtains are sealed against air and liquid. The hems are chain-weighted using heavy duty galvanized chains so that the chemical splash curtains are stable enough to withstand draft. There are roller hooks so you can slide and retract the curtains on the track.

Which Chemicals are the Curtains Rated For?

Vinyl which is also known as PVC is a highly resistant material to most chemicals. That is why our chemical resistant industrial curtains are made from this versatile material. You can view a list of tested chemicals on this PDF Specification Sheet.

  • Chemical Resistance - PDF
  • This chart also lists additionally tested chemicals

What if I don't see the chemicals I use on the sheet?

There are many variables to consider with chemical exposure, such as what chemical it is, its concentration, what form it is in, and how likely it is to come into direct contact with your industrial curtain. If you don't see the particular chemical  that you are using on the above links then please ask Akon to send you a sample of the material that you can then expose to the chemical in the field to test how it reacts to the exposure. Just click the yellow button below to build the curtain online. We will then send you a detailed quote. If the quote is within your budget and meets your needs, then simply ask us to mail you a sample.

Features

Chain Weight Bottoms

If you have a slight breeze or are power washing near the curtain then we can add a galvanized 3/16" chain weight to the bottom of the curtain.

Floor Anchor Straps

Velcro straps hold your curtain in place if wind is present or a more secure curtain is required. These anchors feature Velcro straps which loop through a D-ring which is anchored into the cement floor. Typically spaced every 4'.

floor-anchor-straps

Floor Sweeps

A floor sweep seals the open area between the curtain and the floor. It attaches to the main curtain by Velcro. They are 6″ tall and as long as the entire length of the curtain. These are ideal for controlling dust, fumes, odors and other undesirable elements. They can also be replaced in the future should the friction from the floor wear them out.

Magnet Seals

Seal magnets are an idea to attach curtains to each other or adjacent steel walls and beams. Best utilized in dusty areas that would clog up Velcro.

magnet-seals-new

Velcro Seals

You can choose to have Velcro installed along the perimeter of the divider which will allow you to combine multiple curtains into one larger curtain. You can also attach self adhesive Velcro to fixed objects such as walls for a more complete seal. Great for dust control and temperature control.

Valance Panels

A valance is made from the same material as your curtain. They are used to seal the opening above the curtain. This is generally the space from the roof deck to the bottom of the joist or purlin. They can be rectangular or follow the slope of the roof.

valance-panels

Walk Through Strip Doors

Strip doors can be sewn into the curtain or free-standing for larger versions. These allows quick movement of people and forklifts into and out of the industrial curtains.

They can be single sided, double-sided, triple sided, four-sided or multiple straights to create complete enclosures. You simply inform AKON about your desired design and we will have it fabricated exactly as you need it. For customized layouts, sketch your design and upload it using our online RFQ form. See button below.

Measuring

Step 1 – Width

  • Measure the distance that you are trying to cover.
    • We will generally add 5% to this dimension to give you
      proper drape.
    • A good example of drape is a stage curtain which has a
      folding appearance.
    • When you receive your quote, the hardware width would
      be the same as the actual width you are trying to cover.
      The curtain width will be 5% more than that for the
      proper drape.

Step 2 – Height

  • Measure the distance from the floor to the mounting
    point
    .

    • If you want a floor sweep (and you should to close this gap),
      we use the same formula as we want the floor sweep to
      engage / drag on the floor while the main curtain is just
      off of the floor.
    • If you have a sloped ceiling please provide us with the high
      point in the low point. We will assume it is a linear straight
      slope.

 

 

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 .50″ of a gap from the
bottom of the track to the top of the curtain.

Spacing from Track

Can we field cut the track for a perfect fit?

Yes the track is made to be field cut on site using a hack saw or sawzall.

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'.

Testimonials

"AKON had the quality that was lacking with our previous industrial curtain supplier. We run a fortune 500 company that relies on zero downtime. The AKON industrial curtain system just lasts longer and is made of better materials. I informed purchasing that if its not from AKON, then we don't want it!" - Fred Dixon 

"The AKON wash bay curtains look great! No one was as helpful or as knowledgeable as your staff and that was a big deciding factor for us. When the wash bay curtains arrived the installation was flawless. We now have a wash bay curtain that we can be proud of and that will last for many years." - Jackie McGarb

"THE BEST!!! Hands Down!!. The curtains have stronger grommets and the vinyl is the best quality that we have seen. The service is also top notch and we have answers to our questions instantly. You can tell this is a well run company and they have taken care of all the projects that we have thrown at them." - Mike Richards
