What are the Types of Industrial Curtains?

Industrial curtains are an excellent choice for partitioning and dividing up your industrial space for their adjustability, safety, and utility functions. There are a few types of industrial curtains and while many of their functions overlap, each has its own niche uses. These curtains can be used to not only partition space, but also to facilitate control of areas, workflow, and contain materials part of the manufacturing process, such as paint, smoke, and dust. 

From warehouses to plants to halls, industrial curtains are important to keeping your space moving efficiently and ensuring employee safety. 

Industrial Curtain Walls 

Industrial curtain walls are the most prominent type of industrial curtains. These curtains hang from above and can often be rolled to close or open the curtains as necessary with the intent of being used in industrial spaces. Smooth-rolling that can open and close curtains in seconds can help facilitate work efficiency and the ability to customize an industrial space. Industrial curtain walls are sometimes also called “room divider walls” or simply “industrial curtains.” 

Industrial curtain walls are usually made out of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), vinyl, fabric, and other protective lightweight materials. They can also come in different colors, both solid and clear. Singer Safety Co.’s industrial curtains are made of durable material and make use of special Track and Roller hardware for maximum ease of use and efficiency. 

Because industrial curtain walls are not made of solid material, such as brick or concrete, and do not require the same amount of time or manpower to set up, they are significantly cheaper than fixed walls. Combined with easy installation and the ability to move, industrial curtain walls are more economically feasible than solid walls. Due to their affordability, industrial curtain walls are easy to incorporate into almost any budget. They can also be used as both temporary and long-term solutions to industrial space zoning due to their durability and heavy-duty material. 

Often, industrial curtain walls can also be used to help contain manufacturing processes. They can help limit noise, and can be used to contain paint, sprays, fumes, smoke, dust, and even welding sparks. To some degree, they can also help control temperature and humidity. Industrial curtain walls are also effective for ensuring privacy, such as setting up a locker room, workstation, or an office in a warehouse, or designating areas, such as storage and unused spaces.

Due to their wide definition, industrial curtain walls can be customized and divided into more types. Customizations include insulation, flame retardancy, as well as height and size. Other types of industrial curtain walls include, windproof curtains, paint curtains, outdoor curtains, garage dividers, as well as insulated warehouse curtains, and industrial divider curtains. 

Insulated Warehouse Curtains 

Insulated warehouse curtains are a type of industrial curtain wall that are designed with the intent of maintaining temperature and humidity. These curtains are especially good for spaces that need their temperature and humidity controlled, such as maintaining produce and in laboratories. If you need to maintain food products or any other temperature-sensitive material, then insulated warehouse curtains function much more effectively than other types of industrial curtain walls.

Insulated warehouse curtains can fulfill many of the basic functions of industrial curtain walls, such as containing some noise and debris. True to their purpose for controlling environments, these curtains are also often lined with an antimicrobial agent to prevent the growth of mold and mildew. 

It is also possible that different parts of a warehouse need to be maintained at different temperatures. Having insulated warehouse curtains allows for you to have different temperature spaces in a single warehouse. The control can also help with employee comfort, and their efficiency at maintaining temperatures often means that spaces can be kept cool while using less energy. 

Industrial Divider Curtains

Industrial divider curtains are used to partition space in an industrial area or warehouse, and to make sure that these barriers can be easily closed, opened, or moved. They often take the form of roll curtains that are easy to slide. 

The purpose of industrial divider curtains is to make sure that your industrial space will be easily customizable to facilitate layout changes in manufacturing or the use of the space. For example, you may need something to help keep in the heat and keep out the cold during cooler seasons. Instead of building and tearing down fixed walls, industrial divider curtains can be easily uninstalled and installed again if you need to change the position of a “wall.” These curtains are easy to take down, store, and install for all industrial repurposing and reconfiguration needs. 

Examples of uses for divider curtains include sealing off space, especially unused or storage areas. They can also be used for zoning: if there is a third party that also uses the same warehouse space, industrial divider curtains can serve as a barrier to clearly mark and separate the spaces. Industrial divider curtains can also divide space by operations, such as welding, packaging, or storage. 

Curtains can be used to create pathways in the warehouse to facilitate movement, create doorways, and indicate what spaces are used for. These practices and making sure spaces are clearly marked and the space easy to navigate is one way to help decrease warehouse accidents and increase safety for employees. 

Like most industrial curtain walls, industrial divider curtains can also help maintain smoke, spray, and dust. They’re also good for containing chemical splashes and loading dock areas. Industrial divider curtains are often durable, waterproof, and resistant to grease and oil.
