High temperature strip curtains are heat-resistant curtain systems made with specialty materials like silicone coated fiberglass or aluminized silica cloth. They are designed to withstand extreme heat zones in industrial ovens, foundries or heat-treating areas while allowing movement through the opening.

They are commonly used at oven entrances/exits, heat-treating chambers, conveyor ovens, metal foundries and any industrial process where temperatures are very high and access is still required. Their purpose is to contain heat while allowing passage. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

The curtains typically use a two-layer system: a reflective layer (e.g., aluminized silica cloth) and a durable outer layer (e.g., silicone coated fiberglass). This combination retains convective heat inside and blocks radiant heat outward. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Yes, they can handle very high heat. Some models withstand continuous temperatures of 1000 °F or more, and certain applications list up to 3500 °F in extreme industrial use. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Yes, by containing high temperature zones and reducing heat loss, high temperature strip curtains help improve energy efficiency, reduce pre-heat time and maintain consistent process temperatures. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Yes, they reduce burn risk and exposure to radiant heat near oven openings or heat-intensive work zones. The reflective materials and insulating layers help protect personnel and adjacent areas. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Yes, high temperature strip curtains are custom manufactured to fit your opening size, strip widths and lengths, material choice and mounting hardware options (grommets, tracks, rods) for your specific application. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Yes, individual strips can be replaced without replacing the entire curtain system. This makes maintenance simpler and more cost-effective. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

No, installation is straightforward. Mount the header or track, attach the strips via grommets or hooks, ensure proper overlap and curtain hang. Then align for movement through the zone. For high-heat zones you may need specialized mounting hardware rated for heat. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Yes, strip curtains allow passage of personnel, materials or equipment while still providing a thermal barrier. They maintain workflow without sacrificing protection.

Regular inspection is recommended: check for wear, discoloration, damage from heat exposure, frayed edges or loose hardware. Replace strips or components as needed to maintain performance.

No, they are primarily designed for indoor industrial heat zones. Outdoor exposure to weather may require additional material and hardware ratings beyond standard high-temperature strip curtains.

They help contain dust, debris and radiant heat; though they are not primarily acoustic curtains, they can help with ambient dust control and some noise reduction in heavy-industrial zones.

Yes, but you must check the material compatibility with moisture, steam and chemical exposure. High temperature materials often tolerate heat but you’ll want to confirm suitability for humid or wash-down environments.

Keep tracks or mounting hardware free of debris, ensure proper overlap of strips, avoid contact with sharp edges, and replace damaged strips promptly. Also monitor the material for heat fatigue due to repeated cycles.

Yes, many high temperature strip curtain systems meet industrial safety and thermal barrier standards. Always confirm with your manufacturer for specific certifications and material ratings.

Lead time depends on size, material choice and customization. Standard units may ship quickly, while fully custom high-temperature systems could require longer manufacturing timelines.

With proper installation, use and maintenance, high temperature strip curtains can provide many years of service. Lifespan depends on how extreme the environment is, how often the strips are moved through, and how well they are maintained.

Industries such as metal heat-treating, glass manufacturing, steel foundries, composite curing ovens, and high-temperature manufacturing use these curtains to manage heat zones and maintain access. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
