Shop Curtains
Shop curtains divide fabrication shops, maintenance garages, machine shops, and woodshops into separate work zones without building permanent walls. Hang one on an overhead track to close off a grinding area, keep dust off finished work, or shut down an unused bay to hold heat in winter. When you need the floor open again, slide the curtain back.
Every shop curtain is built to your exact size and made in the USA. Enter your width and height in the size calculator on this page to price your curtain instantly.
Where Shop Curtains Work
- Fab and machine shops: Separate grinding, cutting, and assembly areas so dust and debris stay where they're made.
- Maintenance and fleet garages: Divide service bays, parts storage, and wash areas so each crew works in its own space.
- Woodshops: Contain sawdust around saws and sanders and keep it off finishing areas.
- Garages and pole barns: Split a large garage or ag building into a heated work area and cold storage.
- Heat retention: Close off unused bays or overhead door areas to cut heating costs. For heated shops, insulated curtain walls hold temperature better than single-layer vinyl.

Choose Your Curtain Material
- 13 oz vinyl: Lightweight and economical. A good fit for dust control and general area separation.
- 18 oz vinyl: Heavier and more durable. The better choice for busy shops where the curtain opens and closes every day.
- 20 mil clear vinyl: See-through panels that keep sightlines open and let light pass between areas, so supervisors can see across the shop.
All vinyl curtain materials are fire retardant and meet NFPA 701.
How to Size Your Shop Curtain
Measure the width of the area you want to cover along the track line, then measure the height from the track to the floor. Enter both numbers in the calculator. Every curtain is built with 3% plus 2 inches of fullness so it hangs with slight slack instead of pulling tight or leaving gaps at the ends.
Mounting and Track
Shop curtains hang from an overhead track so they slide open and closed with one hand. Pair yours with our heavy duty curtain track to complete the install.

What are shop curtains used for?
Shop curtains divide an industrial shop or garage into separate work areas. Fab shops use them to contain grinding dust, maintenance garages use them to split service bays from parts and wash areas, and woodshops use them to keep sawdust off finishing areas. They also close off unused space to hold heat.
Which curtain material should I choose for my shop?
18 oz vinyl is the most common pick for busy shops because it holds up to daily opening and closing. 13 oz vinyl works for lighter dust control at a lower cost. Choose 20 mil clear vinyl when you need to see across the shop or let light through.
Can shop curtains be used around welding?
Standard shop curtains are not welding screens and don't block arc flash. For welding areas, use curtains rated for welding protection.
Are your shop curtains fire retardant?
Yes. All of our vinyl curtain materials are fire retardant and meet NFPA 701.
How do I measure for a shop curtain?
Measure the width you want to cover along the track line and the height from the track to the floor. Enter those numbers in the size calculator. Fullness is built into every curtain, so you don't need to add extra width yourself.
How do shop curtains mount?
Shop curtains hang from an overhead track so they can slide open and closed. We sell heavy duty curtain track separately to complete the install.
