Made Tough To Endure

Divider Wall Construction

Our divider walls are constructed to endure years of rigorous industrial usage while performing as well as the day that they are installed. There are also many colors and configurations you can choose from based on your specific needs. These curtains are made from the same material as you find with trucking tarps used to cover loads on semi-trailers. This material is slick, strong, tear resistant and made for many years of use.

How to Divide Warehouse Spaces

How To Divide Space in Your Warehouse

As a supplier of industrial divider walls, we know that with our shrinking economy, factories and major manufacturing plants are finding that their output is drastically decreasing. This decreasing output results and floor space which is no longer used for production and becomes a drain on the company's resources. This is where a industrial divider walls can be utilized. With the use and installation of these curtains, a factory can section off used floor space from unused floor space. Essentially dividing up their floor into zones. The zones that are no longer required for day-to-day operations can be sealed off and essentially shut down.

The benefit of dividing unused floorspace from used floorspace is to realize a substantial savings in heating and cooling costs. There is no reason that a company should have to heat or cool large areas which are no longer being used to produce goods or services. This is especially important as energy costs continue to rise and become a larger portion of a company's expenses. With the installation of a warehouse partition wall system, a large facility can cut their heating bill almost in half. This results in an enormous amount of energy cost savings every month.

Warehouse partition wall systems can also be installed quickly and at a fraction of the cost of a fixed permanent walls. They can also be modified quickly as changes in production take place. For instance, they can have strip doors, see-through vision panels, additional curtain panels, and forklift access doors added quickly after installation. This type of flexibility simply is not possible with fixed partition walls. In addition, fixed walls are expensive to install, and often times require major renovation and downtime to implement.

Curtain Features

 

Clear Vision Panels

Vision panels can be added to allow for a clear line
of site through the curtain. Standard vision panels
are 54" in height but can be made to any size.

 

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 purlin.
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.

See button below.

How to Measure

Width

  • Measure the distance that you are trying to cover
    • We will generally add 5% to this dimension to give your curtain proper drape.
    • When you receive your quote, the hardware width will be the actual width.

Height

  • Measure the distance from the floor to the mounting point
    • We will subtract 3" to account for the hardware to keep your curtain just off of the ground.
      • If you want the floor sweep option, we also subtract the 3". This will allow the floor sweep to lay slightly 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 height and the low point height. 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 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 short in height curtain then you could space the supports out a little farther. 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.

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
