Industrial Divider Walls

Warehouse Divider Walls that can separate work areas

OVERVIEW

At AKON, we specialise in providing industrial divider walls for facilities that need to control temperature, odours, fumes, and dust. These dividers can be used to protect specific areas from flying debris or to separate cold air from warm air, helping to reduce energy costs.

Whatever the application, our curtains allow you to make better use of your available space while improving employee comfort, satisfaction, and productivity.

Any Layout For Your Needs

Warehouse Partition Wall Systems

Control Temperatures and Save Money

With our industrial divider walls, you can easily control temperature, reduce loud noise, block visual distractions, and protect areas from flying debris. Most of our dividers are fitted with rollers and tracks, allowing staff to slide the curtains open or closed smoothly based on their access needs.

When you contact AKON, you will speak with a knowledgeable team member who can guide you through the requirements of your application. This expert support ensures you receive not only the correct industrial divider wall, but a product that will last for years rather than months.

Made Tough To Endure

Divider Wall Construction

Our divider walls are built to withstand years of demanding industrial use while performing just as well as the day they were installed. You can choose from a wide range of colours and configurations to suit your specific requirements.

These curtains are made from the same material used for lorry tarps on semi-trailers. This material is smooth, exceptionally strong, tear-resistant, and designed for many years of reliable use.

How to Divide Warehouse Spaces

How To Divide Space in Your Warehouse

As a supplier of industrial divider walls, we understand that many factories and manufacturing plants are facing reduced output during a changing economy. As production slows, large areas of floor space often become unused and begin to drain company resources. This is where industrial divider walls offer a practical solution.

By installing these curtains, a facility can separate active production areas from unused zones, effectively dividing the floor into manageable sections. Areas that are not needed for day-to-day operations can be sealed off and temporarily shut down.

The main advantage of separating unused floor space from active areas is the significant savings in heating and cooling costs. There is no reason to heat or cool large sections of a building that are not being used for production. This becomes even more valuable as energy costs continue to rise and make up a larger portion of operating expenses. With a warehouse partition wall system, a large facility can reduce its heating bills by nearly half, resulting in substantial monthly savings.

Warehouse partition walls can also be installed quickly and at a fraction of the cost of permanent fixed walls. They can be modified just as easily as production needs change. For example, strip doors, clear vision panels, additional curtain sections, or forklift access doors can be added after installation with minimal disruption. This level of flexibility simply isn’t possible with traditional fixed walls, which are expensive, time-consuming to build, and often require major renovation and operational downtime.

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 1.2m.

 

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

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 7cm to allow for the hardware and keep your curtain just off the ground.
      • If you choose the floor sweep option, we still subtract 7cm. 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 in diameter. It will add approximately 61 cm to each dimension.
For example, if you have 305 cm of curtain track, adding a radius corner will make the overall length of side “A” about 366 cm.

 

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.
