Common Questions About Prep Station Curtains
What are prep station curtains and how do they work?
Prep station curtains are heavy-duty vinyl partitions that slide on a ceiling- or wall-mounted track to create a contained work area for sanding, washing, and paint prep. They help control overspray, dust, and water while keeping adjacent areas clean and productive.
Do the curtains meet fire-retardant and safety requirements?
Yes—fire-retardant curtain materials are available and supplied with compliance documentation on request. Hardware is heavy-duty steel and designed for industrial use. If your facility requires a specific certification, we can match the material accordingly.
How do I clean and maintain prep station curtains?
Wipe down with mild soap and water or approved cleaning agents. For heavier debris, rinse and allow to air dry. Periodically check grommets, hems, and rollers; replace worn parts to maintain smooth operation.
What sizes and customization options are available?
Systems are built to order. Choose single, double, three-sided, or four-sided layouts; clear vision panels; colors; valances for floor-to-ceiling coverage; and chain-weighted hems. Track can be ceiling-mounted or free-standing to suit your bay layout.
Can I add filter panels or replace them later?
Yes—filter panel windows can be integrated into the curtain and attached with hook-and-loop for easy removal and replacement when they become clogged or airflow needs change.
Is installation difficult? What does it include?
Installation is straightforward: bolt together the modular steel track, anchor per the mounting surface, and hang the curtain via grommets and rollers. Most shops complete a bay in hours, not weeks. Layout guidance and hardware are included with each order.
