More Information

We supply a comprehensive range of laboratory curtains suited to research facilities, pharmaceutical labs, university departments, and cleanroom environments across the UK and Ireland. Our curtain partitions are fabricated from industrial-grade vinyl, antimicrobial PVC, or ESD-safe materials, and are configured to fit virtually any laboratory layout.

Each curtain runs on our heavy-duty industrial track system, allowing smooth side-to-side operation. Alternatively, we provide static-mounted options where a fixed barrier is preferred. When not in use, the curtains collapse neatly against the wall, freeing up valuable bench and floor space.

We also offer a choice of colours and practical features including valance headers, Velcro edge seals, and clear vision panels. Every curtain is made to measure, so you get a precise fit for your specific laboratory configuration.

Why UK Laboratories Choose Our Curtain Systems

Rigid walls are expensive to install and even costlier to move when your lab layout changes. Our flexible curtain partitions let you reconfigure zones in minutes rather than weeks, which is particularly valuable for multi-use research spaces and teaching laboratories.

The curtain materials we supply are wipe-clean, resistant to common laboratory solvents, and compatible with standard decontamination protocols. For facilities subject to HSE COSHH assessments, our curtains provide an effective way to segregate hazardous processes without the cost of permanent construction.

Selecting the Right Material for Your Application

Choosing the correct curtain material depends on what your laboratory handles. For electronics and semiconductor work, our ESD-safe PVC prevents static discharge that could damage sensitive components. Laser laboratories require rated barrier materials that meet EN 12254 optical density requirements. For general partitioning in biology or chemistry labs, our standard antimicrobial vinyl provides excellent durability and is straightforward to clean.

If you are unsure which material suits your application, our technical team can advise based on your specific requirements. We regularly supply curtains to NHS pathology labs, university research departments, and private-sector R&D facilities throughout Great Britain and Ireland.

Installation and Track Systems

Our galvanised steel curtain tracks are designed for ceiling-mounted installation in laboratory environments. The track sections join together with simple set-screw connectors and can be cut to length on site using a standard hacksaw. Bends, curves, and switching junctions are all available to suit complex laboratory floor plans.

Most facilities find that their own maintenance team can complete the installation in a single day. We provide full fitting instructions with every order, and our technical support line is available if you need guidance during the process.
