Unmatched Performance

So far on the market there are no curtains competitively priced that are listed as outdoor super duty curtains for windy areas, though a lot claim this. These inferior curtains have grommets that will rip out as they are not properly reinforced with webbing. AKON super heavy-duty outdoor curtains are designed based on our experiences with how curtains have failed in the field from our years of experience. We have developed a wind blocking curtain that takes the stress off of the curtain material and puts it back on the hardware to relieve tearing and curtain failure.

Outdoor Curtain Strength

This super heavy duty outdoor curtain features an optional mesh section in the middle to allow some wind to blow through to reduce the stress on the curtain. The mesh also has an optional back flap to help control free-flowing breeze when it is not windy out.

We also triple stitch sew heavy-duty webbing straps vertically every 1.5m the full length of the curtain from the roller hooks all the way down to the anchor plates. This takes the majority of the stress off of the curtain and places it on the hardware at the top and the bottom of the curtain. The quad steel wheel rollers are each rated for 57kg of force. Anchor plates at the bottom are bolted into your concrete and also have exceptional strength for wind loads.

Curtain Features

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 15cm tall and 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.

Seal Velcro

Seal Velcro also known as adhesive Velcro sticks
onto your curtain and can be installed in the field.
Please note that this is not ideal for cold
temperature applications or high-frequency use.

Velcro

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

Entry Options

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, fork lifts or
heavy foot traffic.

Roll Up Doors

Supported with a free-standing steel 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.

Layouts

Common Layouts

AKON can supply just about any layout you super duty outdoor curtain can think of. Below are some common styles. They can be single sided, double-sided, triple sided, four-sided or multiple straights to create complete enclosures. You simply inform AKON about your desired design and we will have it fabricated exactly as you need it. For customized outdoor curtain layouts, sketch your design and upload it using our online RFQ form. See 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 proper drape.
- When you receive your quote, the hardware width will be the actual width.

Height

Measure the distance from the floor to the mounting point
- We will subtract 7cm to account for the hardware to keep your curtain just off of the ground.
  - If you want the floor sweep option, we also subtract the 7cm. This will allow the floor sweep to lay slightly on the floor while the main curtain is just off of the floor.
  - If you have a sloped ceiling please provide us with the high point height and the low point height. We will assume it is a linear straight slope.

Common Questions

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

Standard curtains have approximately 9.5cm-2.5cm of a gap from the bottom of the track to the top of the curtain.

What are the dimensions of the track?

Can the track be cut to size as required on site?

Yes, the track is made to be field cut on site using a hack saw or sawzall.

How much width does the radius corner add to the length?

A radius corner has a .6m radius. So if you input 3m for curtain length you will end up with 3.6m when you attach the radius corner. If that is too long then simply cut the track onsite and the radius will still work.

How does the track go together?

The track is modular in design and will arrive in pieces that have a simple bolt together design.

How close together do I need the track supports?

The track should be supported approximately every 1.5m with a track support. The farther apart the track supports, the greater the deflection. If you have a relatively short in height curtain then you could space the supports out a little farther. You will receive enough track supports with your order to achieve this 1.5m spacing.

Can I simply drill straight through the track and into the ceiling / structure?

Yes. This is called a flush mount install and is very common. Simply drill through the middle of the track and use a small wood screw, bolt, or Tek screw into your structure. Space the holes about every .9m-1.5m.

How hard is it to install the industrial curtain track?

It is very easy. All of the components simply fit into each other and connect with set screws. The installation is very intuitive. If you have any difficulty simply call or email us and we will walk you through the process.

Will the track rust? Can it be used in wet environments?

The track is Hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) which is often used to protect steel from corrosion in some of the harshest environments imaginable, yet it provides maintenance-free longevity for decades. The corrosion resistance of hot-dip galvanizing varies according to its surroundings but generally corrodes at a rate of 1/30 of bare steel in the same environment.
