Depending on the style of ceiling or joists that you have above, there are some considerations to take into account.

threaded rod

Threaded Rod Curtain Track

If the distance between the anchor points above is higher than where you want the curtain track, then a threaded rod mount might work well. Steel rods support the track and span the distance between the track and the ceiling.

Installation Questions

How hard is it to install the industrial curtain track?

It is very easy. All of the components simply fit into each other and connect with set screws. The installation is very intuitive. If you have any difficulty simply call or email us and we will walk you through the process.

Can I simply drill straight through the track and into the ceiling / structure?

Yes. This is called a flush mount install and is very common. Simply drill through the middle of the track and use a small wood screw, bolt, Tek screw...ect into your structure. Space the holes about every 3-5'.

What keeps the rollers from rolling out of the end of the track?

Each track comes with end stops that contain the rollers inside of the curtain track.

How close together do I need the track supports?

The track should be supported approximately every 5' with a track support. The farther apart the track supports, the greater the deflection. If you have a relatively light weight curtain then you could space the supports out to about 8' apart.

What size threaded rod do I use for the threaded rod curtain track?

You would use a 3/8"  threaded rod which you can get from any local hardware store.

Whats a "splice" and what is a "connector"?

A Splice connects two pieces of track together. A Connector holds the track up. Keep in mind we also have splice connectors that are also a track supports. The one show in the graphic below is only a straight splice connector which does not hold the track up.

Testimonials

“We needed curtain track that was extremely strong for a very harsh industrial application. We found Akon and they worked very closely with us to find a solution that worked out perfectly. I have informed my purchasing department to single source Akon for all future applications as their industrial curtain track is the best that we have found.” - Rick Tolso

“We had been purchasing steel cable which was not holding up well for our sport nets. After installing the Akon net track hardware kits the netting rolls with ease and makes it extremely easy for us to retract the nets for full access. The installation was a breeze with the bolt together construction in the durability far exceeded our expectations.” - Marco Williams

“By using the warehouse divider curtain track from Akon we have been able to easily and quickly fully extend and retract our warehouse curtains which are very heavy. From my experience of using many different tracking systems, the Akon galvanized steel curtain track is hands-down the best one on the market.” – Dennis Aims
