  1. Measure the Distance of the Width of the Curtain Laid Out
    • Steel Guard Adds 3% + 2″ to the Width Of Wash Bay 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

    • Paint Booth 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 Paint Booth 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

  1. Layout the Track Pieces & Connectors Along the Floor Right Below Where you Plan to Mount Them.
  2. Affix One of the End Stops Along the End of the Track (Unless Track is In-between Walls)
  3. 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
  4. . Take First Piece of Track and Second Piece of Track and Slide the Left Side of the Next In-Line Connector and  One Peice and Right Side of the In-Line Connector.
  5. Continue this in Perpetuity Untill 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 System is 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.
