Industrial sliding curtains are heavy-duty curtain systems mounted on overhead tracks that allow panels to slide open and closed. They provide the containment benefits of a wall with the accessibility of a door — ideal for high-traffic areas where forklifts, vehicles, or personnel need regular access.
The system consists of three components:
1. Track — Mounted to the ceiling, wall brackets, or free-standing frame. Available in standard, heavy-duty, and galvanised options.
2. Curtain panels — Custom-fabricated PVC panels with reinforced edges, hung from the track via roller carriers.
3. Hardware — Roller carriers, end stops, overlap seals, and optional features like floor sweeps and vision panels.
Operation is manual (push/pull) in most applications. Motorised options are available for very large or frequently operated curtains.
- Loading docks — weather protection while maintaining vehicle access - Production zones — separating manufacturing stages - Wash bays — containing water and chemicals - Welding areas — UV and spark containment with access - Cold storage entries — maintaining temperature while allowing traffic - Warehouse divisions — creating zones with full access capability
Key decisions when specifying a sliding curtain system:
Material: Heavy-duty PVC for most applications, clear PVC for visibility, mesh for airflow
Track type: Standard for light-medium use, heavy-duty for frequent operation or heavy panels, galvanised for corrosive environments
Mounting: Ceiling-mount is most common, wall-mount for partial openings, free-standing for areas without structural mounting points
Features: Vision panels for safety, floor sweeps for sealing, overlap strips for better containment
