Frequently Asked Questions About Industrial Wash Bay Curtains

What are industrial wash bay curtains?

They’re heavy-duty vinyl partitions that contain overspray, water, and debris in vehicle or equipment wash areas. Compared to fixed walls, they install quickly, cost less, and slide open when not in use. Options include 18 oz vinyl panels and 20 mil clear PVC vision panels for visibility.

How do they compare to permanent walls?

They’re a flexible, cost-effective alternative. Curtains install faster, can be reconfigured or expanded later, and require less disruption. While walls are rigid and slow to modify, curtain systems use a track and roller for easy opening and closing and can grow with your facility’s needs.

What materials are available?

The standard panel is 18 oz reinforced vinyl for durability, abrasion resistance, and easy cleaning. For visibility, add 20 mil clear PVC vision panels. Both options are available in multiple colors and are designed for washdown environments where frequent cleaning and moisture containment are essential.

Are the curtains fire retardant?

Yes. Our vinyl materials are fire-retardant and suitable for industrial settings that require safety compliance. They’re engineered for washdown use and can be paired with accessories like floor sweeps and strip entrances to improve containment, safety, and day-to-day workflow in busy facilities.

How do the curtains open and close?

They slide on a heavy-duty aluminum track with smooth rollers, so one person can open or close a bay quickly. This makes it easy to contain cleaning activities during use and free up floor space when the wash area isn’t needed, improving overall operational flexibility.

Can I customize sizes for my bay?

Yes. Heights and widths are fully customizable, and multiple curtain sections can connect to cover larger wash bays. Provide your opening dimensions and any obstructions, and we’ll size the panels and track layout so the enclosure fits cleanly and performs reliably in daily use.

What mounting options do you offer?

Choose ceiling-mounted track for maximum clearance, wall-mounted track where overhead structure is limited, or a free-standing frame for locations without suitable supports. We’ll recommend hardware based on your building conditions and desired traffic flow through the wash area.

How do I improve containment at floor level?

Add a flexible floor sweep seal along the curtain bottom to reduce water escape and overspray. You can also include strip curtain entrances for walk-through access and use Velcro or magnetic joins to connect panels tightly where longer runs or corners are required.

Are the curtains easy to clean and maintain?

Yes. Rinse with water or use mild soap as needed; avoid abrasive cleaners on clear PVC to preserve clarity. Track and rollers require minimal maintenance—keep the path free of debris and inspect periodically to ensure smooth sliding and long-term reliability.

How do I order or get a quote?

You can use our online builder to select size, material, and options, or submit an RFQ for a tailored quote. Provide measurements, mounting preference, and any accessories you want included. We’ll respond quickly with pricing, lead time, and next-step guidance.

Curtain Features

 

Clear Vision Panels

Vision panels can be added to allow for a clear line
of sight 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 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 6″ 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.

 

bottom curtain anchor

Anchor Straps

Velcro straps hold your curtain in place for
a light breeze or power washing. These
anchors feature Velcro straps that 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 installed in the field.
Please note that 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

Velcro 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.

 

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

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 3" 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 3". 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. More Info On Here On Slope Ceilings

Common Questions


What is the spacing from the bottom of the track to the top of the curtain?
Standard curtains have approximately 3.75 to 1″ of a gap from the bottom of the track to the top of the curtain.

Spacing from Track

 

What are the dimensions of the track?

 

Can the track be cut to size 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?
The radius corner is 24” diameter. The radius corner will add 2 feet to each dimension.
For example, if you have 120” of curtain track then a radius corner will be make the overall length of side “A” 120”+24”=144”

 

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 5' 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 5' 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, Tek screw...ect into your structure. Space the holes about every 3-5'.

 

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.
