Rapid Access In Any Size

AKON Quick Ship Industrial Curtains are a cost-saving solution for areas needing dust, temperature, and workspace zoning. They can be a temporary or long-term, aesthetically appealing and inexpensive solution. Designed to slide open quickly and easily on their roller hooks, the curtains provide rapid access for products and people to move through. They also meet fire retardant requirements as they are constructed of an 18 oz. Polyester-reinforced vinyl that has the NFPA-701 fire rating.

Less Expensive Than Fixed Walls

Easy Install

Industrial curtains come with grommets at the top, making hanging the curtains quick and easy with or without the curtain track.

Separate Workers

Industrial curtain walls are ideal for separating workers for welding, washing, packaging and many other operations.

Access Points For Forklifts

Even though industrial curtains are retractable and are made to easily open and close, sometimes a fixed static position curtain wall can be ideal. With this type of installation, it's essential that foot traffic and motorized traffic still have access to both sides of the curtain. AKON can accommodate this requirement by installing strip curtains, swinging doors, and motorized roll-up doors. These components will allow for quick access without opening and closing the curtain wall.

Strip Curtain Access Points

Strip doors are a cost effective option for large vinyl curtain walls. Made from 20 cm wide PVC strips, they are crystal clear and eliminate the need to push back the curtain wall to access the other side. A typical size is 90 cm wide × 180 cm high, but they can be made as large as required. They can be sewn into the curtain if it needs to be retractable or mounted to a floor anchored door frame supplied by AKON. The strips can accommodate both foot traffic and motorised traffic.

Works For Large And Small Areas

very-large-commercial-curtain-industrial

Form Work Areas or Divide Storage

Industrial curtain walls are a quick and easy install solution for making work zones or dividing warehouse space. For example, if a facility has different manufacturing processes in a large area, the curtain walls can form smaller work zones. That will help distinguish between work processes, protect workers and products from other processes, and contain cross-contamination.

Vinyl Curtain Walls Increase Work Flow

Industrial curtain walls provide a rapid and straightforward installation solution for the purpose of dividing warehouse space or establishing work zones. For example, these draperies can create smaller, designated zones in a facility with multiple manufacturing processes operating in a large area. This assists in the separation of workflows, the protection of employees and products from other processes, and the reduction of cross-contamination.

Curtain Features

Clear Vision Panels

Vision panels can be added to allow for a clear line
of sight through the curtain. The panels can be made
taller or shorter per your request.

 

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 roof's slope.

 

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 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 a
breeze or if a more secure curtain is needed.
These anchors feature Velcro straps that loop
through a D-ring, which is anchored into the
cement floor. Typically spaced every 1.2 m.

 

Seal Velcro

Seal Velcro, also known as adhesive Velcro, sticks
onto your curtain and can be installed in the field.
Please note that stick-on velcro 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
lightweight chain weight to the bottom of the
curtain.

 

Connecting Curtains

Velcro

Velcro is used to connect curtain sections
together to form larger curtain walls. The
Velcro also serves as an access point for
larger curtains and makes them easier to
install.

 

Magnets

Seal magnets are an ideal 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

industrial-curtain-options (5)

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, forklifts, or
heavy foot traffic. View Styles

 

 

Roll-Up Doors

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

See the 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 a proper drape.
    • When you receive your quote, the hardware width shown will be the actual overall width.

Height

  • Measure the distance from the floor to the mounting point
    • We will subtract 7.62 cm to allow for the hardware and keep your curtain just off the ground.
      • If you choose the floor sweep option, we still subtract 7.62 cm. This allows the floor sweep to sit lightly on the floor while the main curtain hangs just above it.
      • If you have a sloped ceiling, please provide the high-point height and the low-point height. We will assume a straight, linear slope. More Info Here On Sloped Ceilings

Common Questions


What is the spacing from the bottom of the track to the top of the curtain?
Standard curtains have a gap of approximately 2–2.5 cm between the bottom of the track and the top of the curtain.

Spacing from Track

 

What are the dimensions of the track?

 

Can the track be cut to size on site?
Yes. The track is designed to be cut on site using a hacksaw or a Sawzall.

 

How much width does the radius corner add to the length?
The radius corner is 61 cm (24") in diameter. It will add approximately 61 cm (2 ft) to each dimension.
For example, if you have 305 cm (120") of curtain track, adding a radius corner will make the overall length of side “A” about 366 cm (144").

 

How does the track go together?
The track is modular and will arrive in sections with a simple bolt-together design.

 

How close together do I need the track supports?
Track supports should typically be spaced approximately every 1.5 m. The farther apart the supports are, the more the track may deflect. For shorter curtains, supports can sometimes be spaced a little farther apart. You will receive enough support brackets with your order to achieve this 1.5 m spacing.

 

Can I simply drill straight through the track and into the ceiling / structure?
Yes. This is called a flush-mount installation and is very common. Simply drill through the centre of the track and fix it into your structure using wood screws, bolts, Tek screws, etc. Space the fixings roughly every 0.9–1.5 m.

 

How hard is it to install the industrial curtain track?
Installation is straightforward. All components fit together and are secured with set screws. The process is intuitive, but if you have any difficulty, simply call or email us and we will guide you through it.

 

Will the track rust? Can it be used in wet environments?
The track is hot-dip galvanised (HDG), a process commonly used to protect steel from corrosion in demanding environments. It offers maintenance-free longevity for decades. The corrosion rate of hot-dip galvanised steel is typically about 1/30 that of bare steel in the same environment.
