What are the benefits of industrial rubber curtains?

Industrial rubber curtains offer extreme durability and abrasion resistance, making them ideal for containing flying debris, grit, and shot. They also act as excellent sound insulators and protect sensitive equipment from high-impact damage.

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 and typically can be done by facility maintenance staff using standard tools.

What is the spacing from the bottom of the track to the top of the curtain?

Standard industrial rubber curtains maintain a gap of approximately 2–2.5 cm between the bottom of the track and the top of the curtain to ensure the heavy-duty roller trolleys glide smoothly.

Can the track be cut to size on site?

Yes. The galvanized steel track system is designed to be cut on site using a standard hacksaw or a Sawzall for a precision fit in your blast room or facility.

Are the rubber curtains fire-retardant?

We offer specific grades of rubber that meet industrial safety and fire-retardant standards. Please consult with our team to ensure the material selected meets your specific facility requirements.

What thicknesses of rubber are available?

Our industrial rubber curtains are available in a range of thicknesses, typically starting from 3mm up to 12mm or more, depending on the severity of the impact and the application needs.

Measuring Choosing The Correct Strips Hardware Material FAQ Ordering

Measuring

Step 1 – Width x Height

Measure the width and the height of the door
opening or area where you want to install the
strips.
Add 152 mm more in total height and add 152mm total in width
if you want wall mount hardware

Step 2 – Choose Your Hardware

Decide on the type of mounting that best fits
your application
- Wall mount is preferred on doorways. This gets
  the hardware out of the doorway and allows the
  strips to overlap the door jambs for maximum
  seal and air lock.
- For in-jamb use header mount, simply order the
  exact size you need to span the opening.
- Universal mount can also be used when you are
  not sure.

FAQ

Should I order the strips a little taller than the opening?
Only if you want, the wall mount hardware. With wall mount hardware, order the strips 152mm taller and 152mm wider than the opening you are trying to cover since you are mounting to the face of the opening. Otherwise, order the strips to the exact size of the opening.

Are the heights of the strips measured from the hole or the top of the strip?
The height is measured from the top of the strip to the bottom of the strip. The holes are located 19.05mm down from the top of the strip.

How do you cut the strips in the field?
You use a utility knife and a straight edge to keep the cut straight.

Do I need to cut the strips myself?
No. When you order a kit, we cut the strips to your specific opening height. However, we usually advise ordering a few centimeters longer than your exact opening height to allow for floor variations; you can easily trim the bottom with a Stanley knife after hanging them for a perfect fit.

What is the difference between "Minimum" and "Maximum" overlap?
Minimum Overlap: Uses fewer strips. The strips overlap slightly (usually ~50mm). This is easier for pedestrians to walk through and costs less. Best for internal partitions.

Maximum Overlap: Uses more strips with a deeper overlap (usually ~100mm). This creates a tighter seal against wind, rain, and cold. We recommend this for external doorways or areas where insulation is the top priority.

What are "Marker Strips"?
These are Red Warning Strips that we can include for the edges of your curtain. They act as a visual safety guide for forklift drivers and pedestrians, clearly marking the edges of the doorway to prevent collisions with the door frame. If you want these, just ask for them.
