They are used in manufacturing, construction, warehouses, and many other industries.
Yes, but for specialized applications involving sawdust, see our woodworking dust curtain solutions.
- Measure the Distance of the Width of the Dust Curtain Laid Out
-
- Steel Guard Adds 3% + 2″ to the Width Of Curtains for Drapage (Unless Custom Spec’d)
- The Track Hardware is the Same Width as Your Order.
2. Measure the Distance from the Floor to the Mounting Point
-
- Dust Control Curtains with Track come Standard 3″ Shorter to Account for the Track. (For Example a 10′ Height System Measures 9′-9″)
- If you have a Floor Sweep the Size is the 3″ Shorter and the Floor Sweep will Drape and Inch Below the Full Measure Height
- If you are needing to Enclose a Sloped Roof the Track Curtain will be the Height before the Egress. We will need to make Two Triangular Panels. We will need the “Right Side Height”, “Left Side Height, and the Width.
All the Track Parts Connect Modularly
- Layout the Track Pieces & Connectors Along the Floor Right Below Where you Plan to Mount Them.
- Affix One of the End Stops Along the End of the Track (Unless Track is In-between Walls)
- Connect the Track on the Back Side By Sliding the In-Line Connectors Over the Track and Match Up the Holes, Use an All Wrench with Set Screws to Affix
- . Take First Piece of Track and Second Piece of Track and Slide the Left Side of the Next In-Line Connector and One Piece and Right Side of the In-Line Connector.
- Continue this in Perpetuity Until the Track System is to End.
For More Detailed Information Take a look at our Track Installation Instructions
Typically Track Spacing is Anywhere from 5′-8′ Apart.
Unless the Dust Curtains with Track System are very heavy and tall, Spacing below 5′ will not be necessary. Most systems up to 8′ will have a “droop of less than 1/8”. This is called the Deflection. Contact one of our Reps if you are Needing Help Determining the Deflection.
Yes. This is a Flush Mount and is Generally Done with Tek Screws, but Other Screws are Acceptable. Space Holes Every 3-5″.
