Outdoor Commercial Curtains

Outdoor Curtain Walls

Made for Outside Conditions

AmCraft’s Heavy Duty Industrial Outdoor curtain walls are made and engineered differently to withstand most weather conditions. These specialized curtains are not intended to replace exterior walls or solid overhead doors.

However, with our reinforced fastening points, wind vents and other enhancements the Outdoor Vinyl curtain can provide a temporary or permanent divider or enclosure.

Made to fit and constructed to last

For over 20 years AmCraft has manufactured the industry’s premier indoor curtains. This has given us the experience and insight to provide a curtain made for the elements. One of the many outdoor curtain wall features is making them in smaller panels, so if one may get damaged it can be replaced rather than the entire curtain.

Some applications require customizations. At AmCraft our sales and manufacturing are all here in house so we can work together to provide you a curtain that best fits your needs.

For example how to enter the Outdoor Enclosure or how can the edges be sealed with your existing structure.
Here at AmCraft we will lesson and alter the construction to your benefits.

Wind relief options

“Wind is the enemy.” To relieve the stress on the anchor points we recommend one of our wind relief options. Depending on the expected weather conditions around the curtain we will help you to choose the quantity of the U-Cuts or consider other wind relief options.

U-cuts

U-Cuts to provide wind relief. U-Cuts are spread throughout the curtain surface to let strong winds through and help relive the stress put on the curtains. U-Cut size: 3.5″ high x 6.5″ wide.

There are other options to put wind relief into outdoor commercial curtains. One of them would be mesh sections with a solid flap on the back side. We describe that option on the bottom of this page. It depends on what outdoor curtain construction is best for your application which wind reliefs are best to implement into your curtain.

How you enter the enclosure? We will ask you the following questions:

We will ask you the following questions to get you what you need and what is possible with your exsisting structure.

How often do you have to enter the enclosure?
What needs to enter the enclosure. Do you need just a pass through for a person or a vehicle?

The velcro connections between the Curtain panels is not a good pass through option because it is first of all hard to separate the 3″ wide velcro connections and even harder to press the velcro nicely back together.

Options

Passthrough for a person can be as low as 6 to 7 feet:

Suspend a Strip door bracket and hang the clear strips.
Suspend a track system and hang a retractable curtain.
Build a frame and do the same as described at option 1 and 2.
Zipper or Magnets build into the curtain
Vertical Pocket with Pipe (Height limit. Note: Picture below, at Side Mount Options)

Passthrough for a vehicle:

Suspend a Strip door bracket and hang the clear strips.
Suspend a track system and hang a retractable curtain.
Build a frame and do the same as described at option 1 and 2.
If the Curtain is retractable use double track for 2-4 feet .

Outdoor curtain walls can be either be mounted Stationary or slide on a track system which allows you to retract the curtains.

Top Mounting Options

Retractable Mount on a Track System

Track System is available in galvanized steel or stainless steel.

Or on a Stationary mount

Either directly mounted to your existing structure or onto Unistruts also available in Stainless Steel.

Side Mount Options

There are many ways to mount the sides to a structure, depending on if the sides need to be permanently attached or if the side edges need to be opened at times. The standard sides come with a 4″ reinforced hem and Grommets around 12″ on Center.

Bolted to the a existing upright by overlapping the 2″ curtain with the existing structure. Called Face or Front mount.

Tied with rope or zip ties to a vertical post. Connecting two Grommet edges around a I-Beam the sides can be lazed together.

Velcro attachment is possible outside if you have a clean surface for the adhesive velcro and can tapscrew the velcro as well.

These are Turn Buckle Grommets, they consist of a male unit (which screws into a frame) and the oval grommet part called the female unit. This is not the strongest option.

We try to get creative when it comes how to get into the enclosed area. There are a pro and cons to almost all the options because most of the time mother nature wins the battle. But with a good construction we can absolutely give the Outdoor Commercial Curtains a longer life time.

As you see in this picture we sewed a vertical pocket into one side of the curtain. Added some cut outs to loop something through to attach to the existing structure

Please talk to one of our sales experts to find the best way to attach to your structure.

Bottom Mount Options

The D-Ring options are chosen if it is necessary to move the curtain from time to time.

This Velcro strap loops through an anchored D-Ring. This allows you to tighten the curtain down as needed.

This bottom edge is mounted down permanently with an angle extrusion. The Curtain is placed between the ground and the angle.

The curtain has a reinforced bottom hem with grommets placed roughly every 5′. The carbineers allow for easy attaching and detaching.

Unfortunately there will be eventually some wear and tear on the Outdoor Curtains because of weather conditions. The material has UV protection, but colors may still fade if directly exposed to the sun for a long period of time. We recommend keeping the panels smaller so if a weather damage appears you would only have to replace the damaged section.

AmCraft offers a flexibility in construction

Because we manufacture our products in house, we can adjust the construction of our Outdoor Curtains to your application. Common alterations include:

Custom pass throughs with magnets or zippers
Wind reliefs placed where the curtains are mostly exposed to the winds
Replaceable windows where most needed
Reinforcements where you expect most wear and tear

The Radio Frequency welded seam construction of the curtain wall enhances the durability and performance, which can help resist exposure to the weather elements while serving as a much needed barrier for your operations.

A few of the most common industries and application for AmCraft's Outdoor Curtains are:

Outside Asphalt production
Outside Storage
Car Wash Curtains
Auto Body Shop Curtains
Shipping & Receiving Dock Door Curtains
and more!

If you plan to use the industrial curtain for a completely outdoor application or as a permanent replacement for solid doors or walls, note that there are no official ratings and/or certifications on the ability to withstand natural disasters, inclement weather, extreme outdoor temperatures, strong winds, precipitations, flooding, and any other acts of God not listed. Such uses are not recommended. AmCraft will offer recommendations for proper storage and care of the product prior to such an event, but there is no guarantee that it will be able to withstand extreme conditions.

It is important to relay as much detail about the environment of the industrial curtain’s location as possible to our technical support specialist in order to gauge available options and recommendations for your outdoor curtain wall project. AmCraft technical specialists are available to assist you with finding solutions for your industrial curtain needs. Contact us today!

Mesh insert with solid flap on the back side.

Another Wind relief option.

This is a sketch of how the mesh inserts function on the outdoor curtain panels.

It works if you have the winds just coming from one side. Mostly used for enclosures. The flap hangs vertically down when there is no wind. From the front side you do see the black 12″ high mesh material. Which might be visually not so attractive.

Amcraft has again supplied an exceptional product for another one our projects.Their sales and engineering groups were able to meet our extensive custom order. The ship date was as promised, and received in perfect condition. I can’t think of any other manufacturer who could meet our food grade needs.

Kristen and the team at Amcraft was very accommodating. They made the ordering process simple, efficient and communicated their expertise with precision and accuracy. The customer curtains (2), were made to our expectations and the lead time/delivery was faster than expected.Although, they were built as curtains, we work in a hot environment and change the way we mounted the curtains. We have seen a decrease in temperature in our facility, which can be an oven.We wish the best for Amcraft, and thank you again.

Our company installed a machine that is known for the generation of relatively high decibel readings. The readings were exacerbated by the location of the machine adjacent to a concrete block wall. The combination of machinery and location resulted in decibel readings that exceeded expectations.We spoke with several companies for a solution, and AmCraft was chosen for the flexibility of their product. It allowed the sound dampening wall to be retracted when service needed to be done and provided an excellent amount of sound cancellation.Andrea at AmCraft was very patient as we sorted out what was best for our process and our budget.The customer has expressed an interest in using these same panels for other applications in their mill.Good Job AmCraft!! Thank You Very Much.
