Curtain Features

Clear Vision Panels

Vision panels can be added to allow for a clear line of sight 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 purling. 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.

bottom curtain anchor

Anchor Straps

Velcro straps hold your curtain in place if a breeze or if a more secure curtain is needed. These anchors feature Velcro straps that 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

Velcro 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 ideal 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, forklifts, or heavy foot traffic. View Styles

Roll-Up Doors

Supported with a free-standing steel frame, the power roll-up doors can be opened and closed via remote from a forklift. Door styles and prices vary based on the frequency of opening and closing, speed requirements and size. View Styles

How to Measure

Width

Measure the distance that you are trying to cover and then add 5% to that dimension and enter it into the width box.
TIP - The reason you want to add 5% is for proper drape of the curtain so it properly covers the span.

Height

Measure the distance from the floor to the above mounting point (from where you would attach the curtain track) and subtract 3 inches, and then input it into the height box.
TIP - If you are not using any hardware, then you don't need to subtract the 3"

Common Questions

Can the track be cut to size 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?

The radius corner is 24” diameter. The radius corner will add 2 feet to each dimension.
For example, if you have 120” of curtain track then a radius corner will be make the overall length of side “A” 120”+24”=144”

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'. Choose the ceiling mount style on this form and in the notes ask for straight splices instead of the ceiling mounts.

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.
