In today’s industrial and commercial environments, flexibility, efficiency, and worker safety are top priorities. One of the most practical and cost-effective ways to achieve these goals is with industrial curtains. Unlike permanent walls or partitions, industrial curtains provide adaptable barriers that can be moved, reconfigured, or customized to meet a wide range of needs. At Fabri-Tech, we specialize in designing and fabricating custom industrial curtains that are tailored to the unique requirements of your facility.

Whether your operations call for dust control, temperature management, noise reduction, or worker protection, Fabri-Tech’s expertise ensures you get a solution that improves your workspace while saving time and money.


What Are Industrial Curtains?

Industrial curtains are flexible partitions designed to divide, protect, and control areas within industrial and commercial facilities. They are typically manufactured from durable PVC/vinyl or reinforced laminates, but can also incorporate specialty fabrics depending on their intended use. Mounted on track-and-roller systems, industrial curtains slide easily into place and can be retracted when not needed—providing the perfect balance of separation and accessibility.

Because they are less expensive and more versatile than permanent walls, industrial curtains have become a go-to solution for factories, warehouses, workshops, and many other environments.


Key Benefits of Industrial Curtains

Industrial curtains are more than just fabric dividers—they are engineered tools that improve operational performance. Here are some of the most common benefits:

  • Flexibility in Layout: Reconfigure workspaces quickly without the time and expense of construction.
  • Improved Energy Efficiency: Contain heated or cooled air to reduce energy costs.
  • Dust and Fume Control: Contain contaminants and protect clean areas.
  • Noise Reduction: Create quieter work zones in loud environments.
  • Worker Safety: Shield employees from welding sparks, UV radiation, and debris.
  • Cost Efficiency: More affordable than drywall or permanent structures while offering mobility.


What Are Industrial Curtains Made From?

The choice of material is crucial in ensuring curtains perform well under specific conditions. At Fabri-Tech, we fabricate curtains from high-quality, industrial-grade materials to maximize performance and longevity.

1. PVC/Vinyl

  • The most widely used base material.
  • Available in clear, opaque, or colored options.
  • Resistant to tears, abrasion, and chemicals.
  • Ideal for visibility and temperature separation.

2. Reinforced Vinyl Laminates

  • Include a polyester or nylon scrim for added durability.
  • Used in high-traffic areas and larger enclosures.
  • Withstand harsh environments and heavy use.

3. Polyethylene & Polypropylene

  • Lightweight and affordable.
  • Often used for temporary dust barriers or construction projects.

4. Specialty Fabrics

  • Welding curtains: flame-retardant PVC or fiberglass-reinforced to block UV and sparks.
  • Noise-dampening curtains: layered with vinyl, foam, and insulation for sound absorption.
  • Fire-rated materials: meet OSHA and NFPA safety standards.
  • Static-dissipative vinyl: ideal for electronics and cleanrooms.

5. Hardware & Reinforcement

  • Curtains are finished with grommets, Velcro edges, or hook-and-loop seals for secure installation.
  • Bottoms can be weighted with chains to resist drafts.
  • Mounted on steel tracks for easy sliding and reconfiguration.


Industry Applications of Industrial Curtains

Industrial curtains are not one-size-fits-all. Different industries require different materials and designs to maximize safety and efficiency. Below are the most common industry-specific applications where Fabri-Tech’s expertise shines:

Warehousing & Distribution

  • Curtain Type: Clear or opaque PVC; insulated vinyl laminates.
  • Purpose: Divide warehouse areas, contain heated or cooled air, and create safe forklift pathways.

Food Processing & Cold Storage

  • Curtain Type: Antimicrobial vinyl and insulated PVC.
  • Purpose: Maintain sanitation standards, control temperature between refrigerated zones, and prevent cross-contamination.

Manufacturing & Assembly Plants

  • Curtain Type: Reinforced vinyl laminates and sound-dampening curtains.
  • Purpose: Isolate noisy equipment, create flexible work cells, and contain dust and fumes.

Welding & Metal Fabrication

  • Curtain Type: Tinted, flame-retardant PVC and fiberglass-reinforced fabrics.
  • Purpose: Shield workers from UV/IR light, sparks, and hot metal while containing smoke and fumes.

Automotive & Aerospace

  • Curtain Type: PVC dust control curtains and noise-reducing panels.
  • Purpose: Protect sensitive components, isolate painting and finishing areas, and reduce noise from machinery.

Construction & Renovation

  • Curtain Type: Polyethylene and polypropylene sheeting; temporary vinyl barriers.
  • Purpose: Contain dust, create temporary work enclosures, and separate clean spaces from active job sites.

Cleanrooms & Electronics

  • Curtain Type: Static-dissipative PVC/vinyl; clear panels.
  • Purpose: Prevent dust contamination, maintain controlled environments, and reduce static buildup around electronics.
