Curtain Features

Tinted Vision Panels

Vision panels can be added to allow for a line
of sight through the curtain. The panels can be made
taller or shorter per your request.

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.

Magnets

Seal magnets are an ideal way 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. 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

Common Layouts

AKON can supply almost any layout you can imagine. Below are some of the most common styles. They can be single-sided, double-sided, triple-sided, four-sided, or multiple straight runs to create complete enclosures. Simply tell AKON your required design, and we will fabricate it exactly to your specifications. For bespoke layouts, sketch your design and upload it using our online RFQ form. See the button below.

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?

Will the Vinyl hold up to flying sparks?

• The welding curtain vinyl material will hold up to hot flying sparks from a distance as shown in the picture below. Keep in mind there are different kinds of welding sparks. There are welding sparks from standard welding and also from grinding metal which our welding vinyl curtains work great for. And then there are welding sparks which come from other processes which are very large and sometimes molten. For that type of an application you would need to use the canvas welding curtain material which is made for heavy close range welding.

What's the difference between clear Vinyl and tinted Vinyl?

• The vinyl that we use for clear welding curtains is the same vinyl use for the tinted welding curtains. Both of them can be used for welding applications except the clear material will not block any harmful UV light. If that is not a concern then both welding curtain materials should work fine.

Are they Approved Hot Work Welding Curtains?

• Hot works welding curtains are a type of material that is used for heavy welding operations. These are applications where there will be high temperatures, sparks, molten splashing, and heavy slag present. To meet this specification you would need to choose the canvas shade material.
