Overview
Akon insulated warehouse curtains allow you to partition and divide your floor space for temperature and humidity control. Unlike fixed rigid walls, the insulated panel curtains can be taken down when reconfiguring for new projects or when they're simply no longer needed. These insulated curtain walls are often times 1/3rd the cost of fixed rigid panel walls and much quicker to install.

Construction and R-Values
Construction
The industrial insulated curtains have a thermal batting inside of two outer layers of reinforced Vinyl. The material is fire retardant to meet requirements set forth by most local and state regulations. Batting thickness depends on your required warehouse temperature separating needs.
R-Values
AKON insulated curtains can provide temperature separation up to 40F. The thicker the batting, the higher the R-value you will achieve. We help you determine which R-value to choose based on your desired temperature zones and the duration you will need to use the insulated warehouse dividers. For instance, if your needs are short term, it is best to choose a lower R-value to reduce your expense.
Quick Installation
Installing The Curtains
The curtains come in ‘5 wide panels that Velcro together from top to bottom. Once connected they form walls that can be in almost configuration. They run from the roof deck to the floor, or from the bottom of the joists to the floor. Aluminum angle is the most common mounting method as it quickly attaches to the roof deck. You simply connect the angle to the structure and then use Tek screws with washers to pinch the curtain panels every 12″ to the angle. Need an installer? Ask AKON for one of our national installers to install your wall.
Seals Around Obstructions
Most curtain installations run all the way to the roof deck for a complete environmental seal and separation of environments. It is not uncommon with this type of installation to have to cut around purlins, joists, conduit and other obstructions. The curtains are made to be field cut and AKON provides special field patch tape to seal them back together at the split. It is very quick and very cost effective.
Entry and Exit Options
Entry Options
Insulated warehouse dividers are static position curtains. That means they do not roll side to side to allow people or material in. Rather, the curtains feature entry and exit locations. The most common entry and exits are strip curtains, swinging doors or powered roll up doors. Strip doors being the most common and economical. Each version features a freestanding frame that anchors into the floor and seals to the curtain wall.
