Wash Bay Curtains
Industrial Vinyl Wash Bay Curtains for Auto & Equipment Wash Down Cycles
If you're looking for an economical and quick way to create a barrier for a wash down cycle for autos or equipment, vinyl wash bay curtains are the perfect solution — and every curtain we build is fully custom, sized and configured to your exact wash bay rather than a fixed stock size. Common in auto body repair shops, car wash facilities, and fleet maintenance operations, these curtains roll easily from one side to the other and can be opened and closed in seconds. They're easy to clean and maintain, and heavy duty enough to last for years. The flexibility to install quickly and retract anytime is one of the biggest benefits over rigid dividers or permanent walls.

They're flame-resistant and safe for use around welding and other high-heat areas in addition to standard wash down environments. Curtains come with a variety of customization options to make sure they perfectly suit your needs — choose from a range of colors, materials, floor mount straps, floor sweeps, and customized track parts.

Frequently Asked Questions — Wash Bay Curtains
What are wash bay curtains used for?
Wash bay curtains are heavy-duty vinyl curtain walls used to create a flexible barrier around vehicle or equipment wash down cycles. They're commonly used in car washes, auto detailing bays, fleet maintenance facilities, and auto body repair shops to contain water, chemicals, and overspray while allowing the curtain to be quickly opened or closed as needed.
Are wash bay curtains resistant to water and chemicals?
Yes. All wash bay curtain vinyl is resistant to water, chemicals, grinding debris, dust, and fumes, making it well suited for repeated wash down cycles and general work cell separation in commercial and industrial environments.
How does the roller track system work?
Wash bay curtains are mounted on a roller track system that allows the curtain to retract from one side to the other in seconds. This gives you full access to the wash bay when needed while maintaining a quick, reliable barrier the rest of the time — without the cost or permanence of a rigid wall or divider.
Can wash bay curtains be customized?
Yes. Our custom configurator lets you design the exact shape, size, color, and layout you need. Available customization options include floor mount straps, floor sweeps, and customized track parts to fit your specific wash bay or work cell dimensions.
Can these curtains be used for paint or welding applications too?
The vinyl is flame-resistant and safe for use around welding and other high-heat areas, and it can serve as a light paint containment barrier. For a dedicated paint booth or spray containment system built to OSHA and NFPA-compliant specifications, we recommend our Paint Spray Booth Curtains, which are purpose-built for that application.
Are wash bay curtains made in the USA?
Yes — all Strong Arm Store wash bay curtains are manufactured in the USA.
