FAQ

Common Questions


What is the spacing from the bottom of the track to the top of the curtain?

If for instance you input 10' for the curtain height then you will have hardware that is 10' from the floor to the top of the track. The curtain will be 3" shorter at 9' 9" to keep it just off of the floor.

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 width then 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 free-standing track go together?

The industrial freestanding curtain track is modular in design and will arrive in pieces that have a simple bolt together design.

How close together will the vertical track supports be?

The vertical track supports will be spaced every 8 feet. If you have a smaller freestanding industrial curtain they will of course be closer together.

Can I move the freestanding curtain around?

They can be moved around depending on the size and configuration but it is not something you're going to want to do on a regular basis. For instance if you need to move the freestanding industrial curtain every day or every hour then it is probably better to use our portable welding screens.  They are primarily used for welding but can be used for many other applications as well. They are an ideal freestanding enclosure for applications where mobility is required.

How hard is it to install the industrial freestanding curtain?

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
