Width
- Measure the door opening width.
- If you plan to mount it to the face of the wall.
- Then add 6" to that dimension and input it into the width field of this form.
- If you plan to mount inside the door jamb.
- Then add 1" to that dimension and input it into the width field of this form.
Height
- Measure the distance from the floor to the mounting point.
- If you plan to mount it to the face of the wall.
- Take that dimension, subtract 3 inches, and input it into the height field of this form.
- This will keep your sound panel just off the floor.
- If you plan to mount it inside the door jamb, then measure from the floor to the top of the door jamb
- Take that dimension, subtract 1.75 inches, and input it into the height field of this form.
- This will keep your sound panel just off the floor.
Common Questions
What is the spacing from the bottom of the track to the top of the sound panel?
Standard sound panels have approximately 3.75 to 1″ of a gap from the bottom of the track to the top of the curtain. As shown below with a standard AKON curtain, which uses the same spacing as the sound panels.
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 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 about every 5' with a track support. Your order will include enough track support to achieve this 5' spacing.
Can I simply drill straight through the track and into the door jamb?
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.
