Industrial Blackout Curtains

OVERVIEW

Our industrial blackout curtains are a practical solution for a wide range of spaces, from warehouses and work areas to studios and even home environments. They effectively block out light and provide added privacy, whether you’re on the job or relaxing at home. Made from heavy-duty, opaque material, they’re surprisingly lightweight and easy to handle. You can fix them in place or use our smooth-gliding track system for flexible opening and closing. When not in use, they fold back neatly without taking up much space — a sleek solution that fits effortlessly into almost any setting.

How to Measure

Width

  • Measure the distance that you are trying to cover
    • Using our input form input that dimension.
    • Then slect the amount of fullness you want and we will do the math for you for perfect drape.
    • When you receive your quote, the hardware width will be the actual width and the curtains will be wider for the drape.

Height

  • Measure the distance from the floor to the mounting point
    • We will subtract 7.6 cm to account for the hardware to keep your curtain just off of the ground.
    • 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 9.5 cm to 2.5 cm 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 61 cm radius. So if you input 3 metres for curtain length you will end up with 3.61 metres when you attach the radius corner. If that is too long then simply cut the track onsite and the radius will still work.
Can you make a custom radius corner
  • Custom radius corners are not possible at this time. If you application must have custom radius corners you might considering getting a curtain track from another supplier and the curtains from AKON.
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 1.5 metres 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 1.5 metre 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 0.9–1.5 metres.
How hard is it to install the 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.
