Industrial Curtain Walls create a temporary barrier in manufacturing and warehouse settings. A common purpose is to shield some areas from dust and debris being generated elsewhere on the floor. Plant managers also use the curtains to separate one work area from another in places where permanent walls would be inconvenient. The products are supplied by companies such as Layne Glass Services, although they are not made of glass. Instead, they are constructed from polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, a type of plastic.
Industrial Curtain Walls essentially turn part of a large, open space into separate areas. Manufacturing plant managers can find a broad range of uses for these devices. The products are effective at maintaining temperature and humidity control, for example. They can be used to cordon off an area where spray paint is being used or where sandblasting is being performed. They also are excellent as room dividers, being easily retracted and put back into place as needed. If a supervisor or manager wants to hold a meeting that will take place over an entire morning or afternoon, the divider can convert part of the space into a meeting room. Insulated versions are available and so are edge seals. The curtains come in clear and opaque models, as well as those that are mostly opaque but have a clear panel.
The curtains provide a certain level of noise reduction. In fact, workers can expect noise outside of the curtained area to be reduced a full four times in magnitude compared with leaving the area wide open. In addition, that is a characteristic of the standard products. Others that have been designed for acoustic purposes provide even greater soundproofing. This is especially advantageous in plants where loud machinery is running and nobody needs to monitor it regularly. Employees can be shielded from the racket and may not even have to wear earplugs.
A primary reason that people in charge of making purchasing decisions appreciate these products is the affordability. They cost less than alternatives like movable walls and are much easier to work with. Simply retracting the curtain converts the room back into one big space. You can also follow them on Twitter.
