You can run them all the way from the floor to the roof deck and cut around any obstructions. Once you cut around the obstructions you can then use seal tape to patch the curtains back together again for an airtight fit. If you need the curtain to open and close then we can provide you with a curtain valance which is static in position for the roof deck area. This allows you to cut around all of the obstructions and then below that curtain you can have an operable curtain that moves side to side. The curtain on the bottom with future a curtain track with roller books.
