OVERVIEW
Does your shop have a saw dust problem? Use our Woodworking Curtains for your wood shop. These Vinyl curtains are quick to install and are much less expensive than rigid walls. You can also pull them back when not in use freeing up your work space. The curtains come in a variety of colors and feature a clear strip in the middle to see through increasing safety and allowing light in.
Woodworking Curtains Control Dust
Your workshop can be clean and dust free with the installation of these inexpensive Vinyl Woodworking Curtains. The material is an 18oz Vinyl that is fire retardant and very robust. The curtains come in all shapes and sizes and are custom made to your exact dimensions. Chain pockets are also an option to help weigh down the curtain if your wood shop is drafty. In addition, strip doors can be added for entry and exit which eliminates the needs to open and close the curtains.
Rolling Curtain Track
There are also several mounting options to choose from for supporting the curtains. The hardware features rolling hooks that roll in a heavy-duty 16-gauge galvanized steel track. The mounting options range from Wall, Chain, Ceiling, Threaded Rod, and Beam mounts as shown in the graphic on the left. If you want to hang the dust curtains with your own hardware we can ship them without any track at all.

Chain Weight Bottoms
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.
Floor 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'.
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 long 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.
Magnet Seals
Seal magnets are an idea to attach curtains to each other or adjacent steel walls and beams. Best utilized in dusty areas that would clog up Velcro.
Velcro Seals
You can choose to have Velcro installed along the perimeter of the divider which will allow you to combine multiple curtains into one larger curtain. You can also attach self adhesive Velcro to fixed objects such as walls for a more complete seal. Great for dust control and temperature control.
Filter Panels
Primarily used in paint and spray boths, filter panels allows for clean air to enter the curtain enclosure and filter dirty air. The filter panels Velcro to the curtain for easy removal and replacement.
Valance Panels
A valance is made from the same material as your 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 rectangualr or follow the slope of the roof.
Walk Through Strip Doors
Strip doors can be sewn into the curtain or free-standing for larger versions. These allows quick movement of people and forklifts into and out of the industrial curtains.
