Frequently Asked Questions About Wash Down Curtains

What are wash down curtains used for?

Wash down curtains are used to contain water, overspray, and debris in wash areas. They provide a flexible and cost-effective solution compared to permanent walls, making them ideal for car washes, food processing facilities, and industrial cleaning zones.

How do wash down curtains compare to fixed walls?

They are a cost-effective and flexible alternative. Curtains install faster, can be moved or expanded later, and cost up to 60% less. Fixed walls are permanent and expensive, while curtains allow easy reconfiguration as needs change.

What materials are the curtains made from?

Most wash down curtains are made from reinforced 18 oz vinyl for durability. Optional 20 mil clear PVC vision panels can be added to improve visibility while still maintaining strength and containment.

Are the curtains fire-retardant?

Yes, all AKON wash down curtains meet NFPA 701 fire-retardant standards. This ensures they comply with industrial safety regulations and provide additional peace of mind in environments with fire risks.

Can wash down curtains be used outdoors?

Yes, they can be used outdoors, but we recommend outdoor-rated vinyl and reinforced mounting options. This ensures the curtains withstand weather, wind, and long-term exposure to the elements.

What sizes are available?

Wash down curtains are fully customizable. They can be manufactured to almost any height or width, and multiple panels can be joined together to cover very large areas like truck bays or warehouses.

How do I install wash down curtains?

Installation is simple using aluminum track and roller systems. Curtains can be ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted, or installed on free-standing frames. Most facilities can set them up in hours rather than days.

Are vision panels available?

Yes, optional 20 mil clear PVC vision panels can be added to the curtains. These panels allow staff to see through the partitions for safety and supervision without sacrificing containment.

How do I clean wash down curtains?

Cleaning is easy. Simply rinse the curtains with water or wipe them down using mild soap. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners to maintain clarity and extend curtain lifespan.

Are wash down curtains USDA or FDA compliant?

Yes, AKON offers USDA-grade wash down curtains specifically for food processing facilities. These curtains meet hygiene standards and help maintain compliance in regulated environments.

What is the warranty?

AKON wash down curtains come with a 5-year warranty on the vinyl curtains and a lifetime warranty on the track hardware. This ensures long-term value and reliability.

Do the curtains save money compared to construction?

Yes, curtains typically cost up to 60% less than building permanent walls. They also save time and minimize downtime since they can be installed much faster than construction projects.

Can I expand or reconfigure my curtain system later?

Yes, wash down curtains are modular. You can easily add more panels, adjust layouts, or move them to new areas as your facility requirements evolve.

How do the curtains move?

The curtains glide on heavy-duty aluminum track and roller systems. This allows them to be pulled open or closed quickly, similar to a large sliding partition.

What mounting options are available?

Mounting options include ceiling-mounted tracks, wall-mounted tracks, and free-standing frames. The choice depends on your facility layout and ceiling structure.

Do wash down curtains block overspray?

Yes, they effectively block water, chemicals, mud, and debris from spreading to other areas. This helps protect equipment and maintain a clean, safe workspace.

Can I order custom colors?

Yes, wash down curtains are available in multiple color options. This allows you to match facility branding, increase visibility, or designate specific work zones.

How quickly can I get a quote?

You can use the online Build Tool for instant customization or request a free quote. AKON guarantees a response within 24 hours, ensuring a fast turnaround.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, AKON provides worldwide shipping. Curtains are manufactured to order and shipped quickly, making them available to customers across the UK, EU, and beyond.

What industries use wash down curtains?

Industries include automotive, food processing, agriculture, manufacturing, and maintenance facilities. Anywhere overspray, debris, or washdown containment is needed, wash down curtains are a proven solution.
