Waterproof Outdoor Curtains

wareproof outdoor platic curtains industrial

Outdoor Curtain Benefits

Manufactured from vinyl, these waterproof curtains are very strong, long-lasting and waterproof.
The vinyl is slick, unlike fabric curtains, so it has an added benefit of being easy to wipe clean.
The slick surface is less likely to harbor mold, like outdoor fabric canvas curtains.
The waterproof outdoor curtains can be made completely opaque or with clear PVC.

Material Options

Opaque Vinyl

Industrial grade 18oz opaque vinyl ideal for moderate temperature control. The shade can be all opaque or feature a clear vision panel. $$

Clear Vinyl

Industrial grade 30mil clear vinyl is ideal for moderate temperature control and for allowing a line of sight into the warehouse. $$

Insulated Vinyl

Industrial R3 1/2" thick material with 18oz vinyl skins ideal for heavy temperature control and blocking line of sight into the warehouse. $$

Mesh Vinyl

Industrial grade mesh vinyl allows the breeze to come into the warehouse while keeping the insects outside and away. $

Vinyl Material

Unlike indoor industrial curtain walls, outdoor industrial curtain walls are exposed to wind, cold, rain, and UV light from the sun. This requires the vinyl material to be at least an 18oz or 22oz coated vinyl. It is important that the material is a coated vinyl because laminates, when exposed to the cold, can experience cold crack. We can also provide insulated outdoor curtains for maintaining temperatures inside of your facility.

Curtain Features

Clear Vision Panels

Vision panels can be added to allow for clear line
of site through the curtain. Standard vision panels
are 54" in height but can be made to any size.

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 purling.
They can be rectangular or follow the slope of the roof.

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 6″ tall and as long
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 wind
is present or a more secure curtain is required.
These anchors feature Velcro straps which loop
through a D-ring which is anchored into the
cement floor. Typically spaced every 4'.

Seal Velcro

Seal Velcro also known as adhesive Velcro sticks
onto your curtain and can be placed in the field.
Please note this 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
3/16" chain weight to the bottom of the curtain.

Connecting Curtains

Velcro

You can choose to have Velcro installed along
the perimeter of the divider which will allow
you to combine multiple curtains into one
larger curtain. You can also attach self
adhesive Velcro to fixed objects such as walls
for a more complete seal. Great for dust control
and temperature control.

Magnets

Seal magnets are an idea to attach curtains to
each other or adjacent steel walls and beams.
Best utilized in dusty areas that would clog up
Velcro.

Entry Options

Sewn In Strip Doors

Strip doors that are sewn into the curtain are
ideal for light foot traffic. These allows 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, fork lifts or
heavy foot traffic.

Roll Up Doors

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