Warehouse Lunchrooms and Break Rooms

warehouse-lunchroom

OVERVIEW

Leaving space for a warehouse lunchroom is highly-recommended (if not mandatory in some states). It will greatly improve worker efficiency and create a better environment for working. In the long run, it will definitely save money, but there are ways to speed up things and notice immediate benefits.

Here is where AKON’s industrial warehouse curtains come in. They can be designed to have different sizes, shapes, colors, accessories, and more. We can supply standard vinyl warehouse curtain dividers to divide up space or provide insulated curtain walls which are ideal for keeping temperatures pleasant.

Our friendly team will provide expert advice and solutions which will result in a successful smooth installation. If you have been planing on making a warehouse lunchroom, but nothing seems to be worth it, we will help you out. This is one of the best break room ideas on a budget.

Break Room Ideas On A Budget

Making A Warehouse Lunchroom

There are not that many options here. Here are some common choices:

  • Go without a lunchroom. The bigger a facility is, there more benefits will come from setting up a special lunchroom. Without one, employees will have to travel outside, eat near the equipment, or stay on foot during their meals.
  • Build one outside. It could work, but is not efficient to put all that effort. Unless if there is space shortage, setting up a lunchroom inside will be more beneficial.
  • Use rigid, permanent walls. Sounds like a plan, but why choose such walls when industrial divider curtains can do the same job at a lower price? They can also be movable, transparent, and take almost no time to get installed.
  • Make a lunchroom with curtains. The best option by far. They offer all the benefits of a rigid wall+so much more. You will quickly set up a lunchroom inside and never have to worry about it anymore. Should you need, the curtains can always be repurposed or moved elsewhere. And most importantly, the workers will have a place to enjoy their meals.

Warehouse Break Rooms

break-rooms-for-warehouse

Did your employee count change? Is there suddenly too much empty space or not enough space? No worries. You can move and reposition the lunchroom curtains to either increase or reduce the space inside.

Did the curtains get dirty? No problems here. They can be washed off in mere moments.

Risks of fire? Nothing to worry here either. Our curtains are fireproof and flame retardant. NFPA-701 approved for flame resistance.

AKON's Warehouse Lunchroom

Temperature Control

The warehouse lunchroom will be able to sustain temperatures different than anywhere else in the facility. It can maintain colder temperatures during the summer, so workers can relax and freshen up, or warmer temperatures during the winter, so everyone can take a nice break.

Humidity Control

Effectively control humidity levels within your facility for food products. The lunch must remain fresh at all times. Also, steam will not be able to exit the lunchroom and negatively affect other areas of the warehouse. The curtain's vinyl is waterproof and will keep moisture from passing through.

A Separate Lunchroom

Why construct an entirely new lunchroom with solid walls, when a few curtains can do the trick? They are easy to set up, easy to move, fully customizable, repurposable in other areas, and so much more. Not to mention multiple times cheaper than rigid permanent walls.

Control Noise

Our warehouse lunchroom curtains are also dual purpose and offer noise control due to the thick batting they are made from. Having lunch should not be affected by the production noise coming from other areas of the warehouse. Vise versa, workers can chat freely in the lunchroom.

Visibility

You have the choices to either use transparent vinyl or to block the view from and to the lunchroom. If transparency is important, we can add small window openings or entire sections with transparent vinyl. You can choose the layouts and sizes of your new lunchroom curtain enclosures.

Custom-Made Curtains

The best thing about our warehouse lunchroom curtain dividers is their customization potential. You are free to choose specific layouts, sizes, colors, Velcro strips, curtain tracks, floor sweeps, chain weights, clear vision panels, anchor straps, entry doors, and more. These lunchroom enclosures are fully-customizable to fit perfectly into any facility. Rarely do two AKON curtains end up looking the same.

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.

 

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.

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
