Available With Door Options
Access Points For Forklifts
Even though industrial curtains are retractable and are made to easily open and close, sometimes a fixed static position curtain wall can be ideal. With this type of installation, it's essential that foot traffic and motorized traffic still have access to both sides of the curtain. AKON can accommodate this requirement by installing strip curtains, swinging doors, and motorized roll-up doors. These components will allow for quick access without opening and closing the curtain wall.
Strip Curtain Access Points
Strip doors are an inexpensive door option for large vinyl curtain walls. Made from 8" wide PVC strips, they are crystal clear and eliminate the need for pushing back the curtain wall for access to the other side. A typical size is 36"w x 72"h, but it can be as large as you need it to be. These can be sewn into the curtain if the curtain needs to be retractable or mounted to a floor-anchored door frame supplied by AKON. Strips can accommodate both foot traffic and motorized traffic.
Works For Large And Small Areas
Form Work Areas or Divide Storage
Industrial curtain walls are a quick and easy install solution for making work zones or dividing warehouse space. For example, if a facility has different manufacturing processes in a large area, the curtain walls can form smaller work zones. That will help distinguish between work processes, protect workers and products from other processes, and contain cross-contamination.
Vinyl Curtain Walls Increase Work Flow
Industrial curtain walls provide a rapid and straightforward installation solution for the purpose of dividing warehouse space or establishing work zones. For example, these draperies can create smaller, designated zones in a facility with multiple manufacturing processes operating in a large area. This assists in the separation of workflows, the protection of employees and products from other processes, and the reduction of cross-contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about industrial curtain walls? You’re not alone. Many people want to know how they work, what they’re made of, and whether they’re the right fit for their space. To help, we’ve put together answers to the most common questions about features, benefits, and installation.
Industrial Curtain Walls
What are industrial curtain walls?
They are heavy-duty vinyl partitions designed to divide work areas, control temperature, contain dust, and improve safety. Unlike permanent walls, they’re flexible, cost-effective, and easy to install.
What materials are used in curtain walls?
Most curtain walls are built from industrial-grade vinyl reinforced with polyester scrim. The framing can include galvanized steel or aluminum for durability and corrosion resistance.
Are industrial curtain walls fire retardant?
Yes, many are manufactured from fire-retardant vinyl that meets NFPA standards. This makes them safe for warehouses, factories, and commercial facilities where fire safety is a priority.
Do curtain walls help with dust and debris control?
Absolutely. Curtain walls act as barriers against dust, debris, and fumes, keeping work zones cleaner and safer while protecting sensitive areas from contamination.
Can curtain walls help with temperature control?
Yes. Insulated vinyl options reduce heat transfer, helping maintain stable temperatures. They’re useful for dividing hot and cold zones or keeping conditioned air in place.
How are curtain walls installed?
They can be mounted on ceiling tracks, pipe frames, or free-standing structures. Installation is quick and simple compared to permanent construction.
Can I customize the size and color?
Yes. Curtain walls are custom-made to fit your space and can be ordered in various colors, clear window panels, or full clear vinyl depending on your needs.
Are curtain walls movable?
Yes, most use rolling track systems that let you slide the curtains open or closed as needed. This flexibility makes it easy to reconfigure workspaces quickly.
Do curtain walls block sound?
Standard vinyl walls reduce some noise, but sound-blocking and insulated models are available if you need stronger sound control between work areas.
How durable are industrial curtain walls?
They are designed for heavy-duty use, with reinforced seams, steel hardware, and tough vinyl that resists tearing and wear even in demanding environments.
Are curtain walls weather resistant?
Yes, outdoor-rated versions withstand UV rays, wind, rain, and temperature changes, making them suitable for exterior work zones or loading docks.
What industries use curtain walls?
They’re common in manufacturing, automotive shops, warehouses, schools, food processing, cleanrooms, and any facility that needs quick and flexible space division.
Can curtain walls be used outdoors?
Yes, outdoor-grade vinyl and weather-resistant track systems allow curtain walls to perform well in exterior applications such as patios, loading areas, or temporary enclosures.
What maintenance do curtain walls require?
Very little. Wipe them with mild soap and water when dirty. Unlike rigid walls, there’s no painting or repair work required, saving time and money.
Are curtain walls more affordable than permanent walls?
Yes. They cost a fraction of permanent construction, install faster, and can be reconfigured or removed easily—delivering long-term cost savings.
Can I add doors or windows to curtain walls?
Yes, you can add strip doors, roll-up doors, or clear vinyl windows to improve access, visibility, and workflow while keeping zones contained.
What is the typical lead time for curtain walls?
Lead times vary, but most custom curtain walls ship in 2–3 weeks depending on size, features, and material availability.
Do curtain walls meet safety regulations?
Yes, they are designed to meet OSHA requirements and can include fire-retardant and FDA-approved materials for food and cleanroom environments.
How long do curtain walls last?
With proper care, industrial curtain walls typically last 7–15 years, depending on usage and exposure to environmental conditions.
Can curtain walls be reconfigured if my layout changes?
Yes. Their modular design makes it easy to resize, move, or add sections as your facility grows or changes, unlike permanent walls.
