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 7.62 cm to allow for the hardware and keep your curtain just off the ground.
    • If you choose the floor sweep option, we still subtract 7.62 cm. 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.

What are the dimensions of the track?

Outer Layers

The outer layers of our insulated curtains are made of both 13 oz and 18 oz vinyl, which is reinforced with a polyester scrim. It is a waterproof fabric that is easy to wash down should it become dirty. The material will not absorb liquids and stains, so it will look great for many years. 18 oz coated vinyl is ideal for outdoor use, with temperatures as low as -20° F (-28° C).

Inner Batting

The interior insulation is polyfiber, not fiberglass. The material is wedged between the skins and stitched in place so it will not settle to the bottom. The insulated thermal garage curtains get their insulating properties from the air space created by the batting.

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 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 1.2 m.

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.

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, 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 much more expensive are industrial insulated curtains than standard curtains?
Our industrial insulated curtains are about 3x the investment of our standard industrial curtains. Customers often ask if they should just purchase a standard curtain to save money. Our answer is generally based on how long you intend to use the curtain. For instance, if you plan to use the divider curtain for many years, you will recoup your investment through energy savings. If you plan to use the curtain for only one or two seasons, you could save money by going with the standard curtains. Keep in mind that the standard industrial curtains have an R1 insulation value.

What is R Value?
The insulation value of a thermally insulated curtain wall is measured by what is called an R-value. In basic terms, R-value is the capacity of an insulating material to resist heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. AKON provides R3 and R6 insulated industrial curtains.

Should I choose R3 or R6?
We find R3 is a good fit for most applications. The longer you need them and the colder your location is, the more we recommend the R6 material.

When the curtains are folded up, how much space do they occupy?
The insulated industrial curtains fold up to about 6.5 cm per metre of curtain width. So a 3 m wide curtain would fold up to approximately 64 cm.
