Industrial partition curtains are well suited to the following applications:

  • Shielding personnel from flying debris and sparks
  • Containing dust-generating activities within a defined area
  • Separating individual work stations or assembly zones

  • Sliding track design allows effortless movement for quick access into and out of the partitioned area
  • Several mounting options enable the partition to be fixed to ceilings, beams, joists, walls, or supplied as a freestanding unit
  • Lockable cane bolts and wall brackets prevent unauthorised access
  • Full vertical-length Velcro strips connect multiple curtain sections together seamlessly
  • Wide choice of material types and colour options: solid vinyl, heat-resistant fabric, transparent panels, clear-view windows, and more
  • Available in any height and width to match your facility

How to Choose Your Configuration

Selecting the layout and features for your industrial partition is straightforward. Simply answer these questions:

  1. How many sides do you need to enclose?
  2. Which colour of vinyl would you prefer?
  3. Do you require a clear vinyl see-through strip for visibility?
  4. What curtain track style will be used to hang the partition?
  5. What environment will the partition curtain operate in?

Choose The Right Setup

Tips For Choosing The Right Curtain

As a long-established supplier of industrial partition curtains, we recommend following these practical guidelines to ensure a successful installation and a curtain that performs exactly as needed.

Tip #1 – Assess the environment where the industrial vinyl curtain will be installed. Some facilities present harsh conditions—excessive welding sparks, extreme temperature variations, or contact with abrasive materials—that can cause premature wear if the wrong material is selected. Take photographs of the installation area and note what elements are present. With this information, we can recommend the correct material specification for long-term durability.

Tip #2 – Consider how the curtain will be hung. Most partitions hang vertically from overhead structure using direct-mount brackets for lower ceilings or threaded rod for taller spaces. Connectors are available for I-beams, purlins, and roof decks. Note the type of structure above the curtain so we can recommend the correct mounting hardware for your application.

Tip #3 – If you need through-access from one side to the other, specify a side-to-side trolley track. This allows the curtain to slide along on roller hooks with nylon wheels. For larger partitions—such as warehouse divider curtains—strip doors can be incorporated so forklifts and pedestrians can pass through without moving the curtain itself.

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.

 

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, fork lifts or
heavy foot traffic.

 

Roll Up Doors

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

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.
