Width

• Measure the distance that you are trying to cover.
  • Add 5% to that dimension and input it into the width field of this form.
  • The extra 5% gives you proper drape for your curtain.

Height

• Measure the distance from the floor to the mounting point.
  • Take that dimension and subtract 3 inches and input it into the height field of this form.
    • By subtracting 3" for the hardware this will keep your curtain just off of the floor and  allow the floor sweep to lay slightly on the floor while the main curtain is just off of the floor. (Please select floor sweep option)

Common Questions

• Standard curtains have approximately 3.75 to 1″ of a gap from the bottom of the track to the top of the curtain.

What are the dimensions of the track?

• Yes, the track is made to be field cut on site using a hack saw or sawzall.

• The track is modular in design and will arrive in pieces that have a simple bolt together design.

• 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 light weight curtain then you could space the supports out to about 8' apart. You will receive enough track supports with your order to achieve this 5' spacing.

• 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'.

• 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.

• 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.

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 slope of the roof.

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.

Anchor Straps

Velcro straps hold your curtain in place if wind
is present or a more secure curtain is required.
These anchors feature Velcro straps which 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 you can add a galvanized
3/16" chain weight to the bottom of the curtain.

Connecting Curtains

Velcro

Velco 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 idea way to attach curtains
to each other or adjacent steel walls and beams.
Best utilized in dusty areas that would clog up
Velcro.

How much more expensive are the insulated curtain versus the 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 intended to use the curtain. For instance, if you plan to utilize the divider curtain for many years then you will recoup your investment with energy savings. If you only plan to use the curtain for one or two seasons then you could save money by going with the standard curtains. Keep in mind the standard curtains have an R1 insulation value.

What is R Value?

• The insulation value of a thermal 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. The map below shows insulation R-Value recommendations from the U.S. Department of Energy for various regions as a point of reference.

Should I choose R3 or R6?

• We find R3 is a good fit for most applications. Your garage is generally connected to your house so it already has some heat coming in from one side. Also, you should take into consideration the map above and the length of time that you are going to be using the thermal garage curtains. The longer you will need them along with the colder your location is will result in us recommending the higher R6 material.

When folded up how much space does it take?

• The insulated industrial curtains fold up to about 2.5" per linear foot of curtain. So a 10' wide curtain would fold up in approximately 25"
