There is a very good chance if you found this page you are looking for a
type of privacy screen or curtain track like the privacy curtain tracking
that
the hospitals and other institutions use.
Well you have made it to the right place. We have a very large selection
of all the common curtain tracking, hardware and accessories that you are
likely to need.
Below is a run down of the different parts and pieces that make up a
hanging curtain track installation.
Clicking on the link for that particular item will take you to an image,
an order page and full description of the item.
-
16 gauge extruded aluminum
-
grey aluminum finish.
-
Sold in 8 foot lengths.
-
Approx. 7/8" x 1 1/4".
The channel is the actual tracking that the carrier rollers slide up and
down. It comes in a standard 8' foot length and can be cut into whatever
size lengths that you need with an ordinary hack saw. It can be attached
to the ceiling using a number of methods.
-
If you have a sheetrock or plaster ceiling the curtain can be attached directly
to the ceiling by drilling a hole through the track in the desired location
and running a screw into a sheetrock anchor. You could alternativly
find the ceiling joist and place a longer wood screw through the sheetrock
an into the wood ceiling joist.
-
It can be attached to a grid type ceiling also known as acoustical tiles
or hanging ceilings. This can be done two ways. You can drill
a hole through the track an install a sheet metal screw directly into the
grid. If you do not want to drill holes in the ceiling grid support
you can purchase the "ceiling clips" from us that clamp onto the grid and
them the track is attached to the ceiling clips with a screw that is provided
with the ceiling clips. If you thing that you might want to relocate
the track in the future use the ceiling clips so that you do not leave ugly
holes in your ceiling grid when you move the track.
-
Truss style and/or vaulted ceilings. If the ceiling trusses are flat
you can attach the track directly to the truss with whatever fastener best
suits the application. If the trusses are uneven or if the ceiling
has a vault or pitch to it you will need to suspend the curtain track. To
do this you will need to purchase the ceiling flanges, suspension tubes and
screw inserts that we sell on this site. These are basically a mounting
flange that you mount to the ceiling and then a tube that drops down for
the curtain track to attach to. You cut the suspension tubes off at
the height that the track needs to hang, place a screw insert into the end
of the tube and then run a screw through the track into the end of the suspension
tube/screw insert.
-
Wall mount. The nylon wall mount that we sell on this site can be used
to hold the curtain track at whatever level you need and attaches to the
wall with whatever fasteners that fit your application. You might use
these wall mounts in conjunction with suspension tubes to stabilize a suspended
tracking system also by putting them where ever the track come close enough
to the wall to utilize one of them.
-
The curtain tracking has also been installed inset into the sheetrock to
make a flush ultra modern look on new installations.

Carrier spacing: 6".
-
Block supported from 2 nylon wheels.
-
Plated swivel and curtain hook for effortless and quiet curtain movement.
-
Carrier width: Approx. 1/2"
The carrier rollers are what actually fits into the track and has a hook
that hangs down from them for the curtain to hang on. On normal
installations you will need to figure one carrier roller for ever 6" of track
including curves in applicable. If you have 33 feet you will need 67
carrier rollers. Mulitply the number of feet by two and add one extra
for the starting roller. The carrier rollers come in packs of 10 so
you would need to order 7 packages of rollers for a 33 foot installation.
The 6 inch spacing is for an average weight installation. If you are
using the curtain track for photograph silks that are very light you can
use what ever suits your application. If you are using the curtain
track to hold a small theather curtain you would need to increase the number
of rollers and decrease the distance between them. The rollers are
made from very tough nylon but it might be advisable to order a few extra
for replacements in case some one decides to fall into the curtain and breaks
some of them or something of that nature.

10 Pack
-
16 Gauge extruded aluminum.
-
Grey aluminum finish that matches and blends with the aluminum curtain track finish.
The splicing clamps go over and around the joint or splice of where two sections
of curtain track meet. The stiffens the splice and also holds the curtain
track aligned.
Where do you need them?
At each splice. Where two sections of track meet. Where the track
might join a 90 degree curve also. It is manatory on suspened
installations, acousitc tile installations and highly suggested on installations
that attach directly to a sheetrock or plaster ceiling.
On installations where the curtain track is installed directly to a sheetrock
ceiling you can do without them as long as you make sure to get the ends
of the track perfectly alligned and anchor them securely on each side of
the splice. Even then the splices make this type of installation much
easier.

The 90 degree curve is used anywhere that you want a 90 degree turn. It
is 2' x 2'. For example a three sided curtain privacy area with one
side to a wall made with (3) 8' sticks of curtain track and (2) 90 Degree
Curves will form a room of 10' X 10' because of the additional length that
the curve provides.
The 90 degree curve is a stress point in the installation because this is
where the curtain momentum has to change directions. Ensure that the
90 degree curves are securely anchored.

For attaching curtain track to the T-Bar (grid) on drop ceiling (acoustical
tile)
-
This allows you to attach the track to the grid with out drilling holes in
your ceiling grid in case you want to relocate the curtain track at a later
time..
-
Suggested maximum spacing between clips is 2' 6".
Even on installations where drilling into the grid is OK, you will save a
lot of time in attaching the grid with these clips as opposed to pre-drilling
the track and then marking and drilling the grid. There is always the
possibility that you may damage the ceiling grid by drilling it also. When
in doubt use the clips as opposed to drilling.
