Premium Accordion Folding Insulated Curtain

If you need a premium look with super clean edges, then you can choose our accordion insulated curtain. This model has sealed pockets to house the insulating batting, which allows it to fold up in a more controlled manner. The appearance of this thermal garage door curtain is also more aesthetically appealing due to the way that it is produced.

R-Values To Choose From

Temperature Control R-Values

You can choose from 3 different R-Values for our insulated garage divider curtains. R-Value is the capacity of an insulating material to resist heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. As a general rule the longer you plan to have your curtain installed the higher R-Value you should choose. This will give you the best ROI on your investment. If however your need is short term then it is best to use the less expensive R-Values as long term energy savings will likely not be gained.

  • R3 – Standard Separation – Retractable and Stationary
  • R6 – High Separation – Retractable and Stationary

Control Air Flow

floor-sweep

Floor Engagement

Cold air can get under a normal curtain that rests just above the floor and that can allow cold air to get under the curtain. This reduces the effectiveness of the temperature control curtains. Using a floor sweep to engage the floor prevents this issue by controlling the flow of air from one temperature zone to another. The 8" tall sweep Velcros onto the bottom of the curtain and hangs 6" below it. It can be replaced in the future or replaced with a taller or shorter sweep if you need to use the insulated garage curtains in another location with a different elevation.

How to Measure

Width

  • Measure the distance that you are trying to cover.
    • Add 5% to that dimension for proper drape and coverage

Height

  • Measure the distance from the floor to the mounting point.
    • Take that dimension and subtract 3 inches
      • By subtracting 3" for the hardware this will keep your curtain just off of the floor and allow the floor sweep to lay slightly on the floor.

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.
Spacing from Track

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.
Curtains

Outer Layers

the outer layers of our insulated curtains are made of both 13oz and 18 oz vinyl which is reinforced with a polyester scrim. It is waterproof fabric that is easy to wash down should it become dirty. The material will not absorb liquids and stains so it will look great for many years. 18 oz coated vinyl is ideal for outdoors for temperatures going as low as -20° F or -28° C. Please be aware that if folded below these temperatures or blown around in the wind the vinyl will likely crack. If you select outdoor use on this form you will receive the 18oz material.

Inner Batting

The inside insulation is a poly fiber insulation that does not use fiberglass. The material is wedged inside of the skins and stitched in place so that it will not settle towards the bottom. The insulated thermal garage curtains get their insulating properties from the air space that this batting creates.

Curtain Features

Curtain Valances

A valance is made from the same material as the
lower 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 purling.
They can be rectangular or follow the slope of the roof.

 

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 wide
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.

 

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'.

 

Seal Velcro

Seal Velcro also known as adhesive Velcro sticks
onto your curtain and can be installed in the field.
Please note that this is not ideal for cold
temperature applications or high-frequency use.

 

Chain Weights

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.

 

Connecting Curtains

Velcro

Velco is used to connect curtain sections
together to form larger curtain walls. The
velcro also serves as an access points for
larger curtains and makes them easier to
install.

 

Magnets

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

 

Entry Options

Sewn In Strip Doors

Strip doors that are sewn into the curtain are
ideal for light foot traffic. This allows for quick
movement of people into and out of the
industrial curtains.

 

Free Standing Strip Doors

For motorized traffic a free-standing steel frame
strip door is ideal. The steel frame takes the
stress off of the curtain wall ensuring longevity
and performance for motor traffic and high use.

 

Swinging Impact Doors

A free-standing industrial swinging door can
also be provided for access. Also known as
impact doors, these heavy duty doors can
take a lot of abuse from carts, fork lifts or
heavy foot traffic.

 

Roll Up Doors

Supported with a free-standing steel frame
the power roll up doors can be opened and
closed via remote from a fork lift. Door
styles and prices vary based on frequency
of opening and closing, speed requirements
and size.

FAQ

How much more expensive are the industrial insulated curtain versus the standard curtains?

  • Our industrial insulated curtains are about 3x the investment of our standard industrial curtains. Customers often ask if they should just purchase a standard curtain to save money. Our answer is generally based on how long you intend to use the curtain. For instance, if you plan to utilize the divider curtain for many years then you will recoup your investment with energy savings. If you only plan to use the curtain for one or two seasons then you could save money by going with the standard curtains. Keep in mind the standard industrial curtains have an R1 insulation value.

What is R Value?

  • The insulation value of a thermal insulated curtain wall is measured by what is called an R value. In basic terms, R value is the capacity of an insulating material to resist heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. AKON Provides R3 and R6 insulated industrial curtains. The map below shows insulation R-Value recommendations from the U.S. Department of Energy for various regions as a point of reference.

 

Should I choose R3 or R6?

  • We find R3 is a good fit for most applications. You really should take into consideration the map above and the length of time that you are going to be using the thermal industrial curtains. The longer you will need them along with the colder your location is will result in us recommending the higher R6 material.

When folded up how much space does it take?

  • The insulated industrial curtains fold up to about 2.5" per linear foot of curtain. So a 10' wide curtain would fold up in approximately 25"

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
