Installation
Setting up the paint booth curtain tracks is fast and straightforward. When your curtains arrive, just unbox them and follow the included instructions. The track hardware connects together in a modular design, and the roller hooks slide in easily. Once the track is mounted, simply attach the curtains using the grommets along the top. It’s a quick and hassle-free process.
Maintaining The Curtains
The paint spray curtains are made from a slick vinyl material similar to a shower curtain. They are easy to maintain, just wipe them clean when dusty or wash them down if they get dirty. For tougher stains, a mild cleaning agent can be used. The material is mildew-resistant and holds up well against most chemicals. If a tear occurs, clear patch tape is available for quick repairs.
Aluminum Dust
Aluminum dust is now part of new car frames and dealing with that dust is now a critical consideration for auto-body shops. The processing of these aluminum body cars and trucks requires a completely sealed off area. Our aluminum repair enclosure curtains will divide these work areas where grinding is taking place from the rest of the shop.
Filter Panels
The AKON body shop curtains can also feature filter panels in sizes of 4′ x 4′ or 4′ x 2′ to allow for negative pressure generated inside of the curtain enclosure due to ventilation systems. These replaceable paint filters Velcro onto the curtain and can be replaced if they become too clogged to function.
