Primarily used as a curtain to provide quick temporary division of an internal area to prevent contamination and overspray during washdown, or to restrict airflow and manage temperature. It can also be used to create booths, access points and divide large areas where regular access is required. Used externally Flexicurtain can provide accessible entry on canopies and enclosures.

Using a range of standard fire-rated PVC materials, Flexicurtain is designed to requirements with a number of options including; vision panels, stainless steel tracks, suspended tracks, single run or bi-parting applications, and wind load straps (external applications).

This retractable curtain is quick and clean to install, resistance-tested against a range of cleaning products, and made with antibacterial materials suitable for food, beverage and packaging environments.

Lightweight materials make the curtain easy to deploy and retract. Floor-to-ceiling design ensures a complete barrier and maximum contamination control. Pelmets can be installed to fill in voids above the curtain for a complete dust-tight seal.

Used externally Flexicurtain can offer accessible entry with weather protection on canopies and enclosures.
