Curtain Features

Clear Vision Panels

Vision panels can be added to allow for a clear line
of site 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 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 we 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.

Here Are Some Common Questions:

What is mass loaded vinyl (MLV) material?

Mass loaded vinyl is a heavy and dense vinyl material that contains a high density of heavy particles, such as barium sulfate or calcium silicate. It is used to create sound barriers that reduce noise transmission.

How do mass loaded vinyl curtains work?

Mass loaded vinyl curtains work by adding mass to a surface, which helps to reduce the transmission of sound waves. The curtains absorb and reflect sound, creating a barrier that blocks sound from entering or leaving a room.

What types of spaces are best suited for mass loaded vinyl curtains?

Mass loaded vinyl curtains are ideal for spaces where sound quality is important, such as recording studios, music rooms, and home theaters. They are also useful in industrial settings to reduce noise pollution and protect workers' hearing.

Are mass loaded vinyl curtains easy to install?

Yes they are. No experience is required to install these curtains, and you can do so with curtain tracks, hooks, or grommets.

How thick should mass loaded vinyl curtains be?

The thickness of mass loaded vinyl curtains can vary depending on the level of soundproofing required. The options we offer differ between 13 DBA and 17 DBA, and it is up to you which sound insulation level is preferred.

Width

• Measure the distance that you are trying to cover and then add 5% to that dimension and enter it into the width box.
• TIP - The reason you want to add 5% is for proper drape of the curtain so it properly covers the span.

Height

• Measure the distance from the floor to the above mounting point (from where you would attach the curtain track) and subtract 3 inches, and then input it into the height box.
• TIP - If you are not using any hardware, then you don't need to subtract the 3"
• TIP - If you want to engage the floor then select the floor sweep option on this form.

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.
