4 Reasons an Industrial Canvas Curtain will Improve your Organization.
Industrial canvas curtains are custom-made curtains with precise measurements to fit your industrial space. Whether you need to section off areas or divide your industrial space to suit different needs, canvas industrial curtains are the ideal solution to your needs.
Industrial curtains serve a variety of purposes, so if you are looking for an affordable way to partition your industrial space, here are 4 reasons why you should consider an industrial canvas curtain to improve your organization.
Organization
If you need to split your big industrial space for whatever reason, you can choose the industrial curtain option. Industrial curtains allow you to remain flexible by creating smaller working spaces out of large halls. The idea here is to be as flexible as possible, since the curtains can either be installed permanently or temporarily as needed.
You can use curtains to help organize spaces which do not have traditional walls without incurring the huge costs associated with permanent traditional walls. With curtains serving as dividers, you can turn a large industrial space into multiple rooms, each serving a distinct purpose. When you no longer need the wall, you can simply draw the curtain or remove it altogether to access your full space.
Also, depending on the fabric, industrial curtains can protect against unwanted noise traveling throughout your place of work. Industrial facilities can generate very high noise levels depending on the type of work that happens during production. The grinding, sanding, cutting, and related activities can generate high noise levels that can go beyond OSHA guidelines and pose a health hazard to your employees. To counter this in a cost effective way, an industrial curtain can help enclose noise at its source by acting as a sound barrier.
Energy
Every business can benefit from cutting down on operational costs. Since heating and cooling costs account for a significant percentage of your total operational costs, any strategy that helps you reduce HVAC costs is always a welcome idea. Using industrial curtains can help protect your business against high energy bills by protecting the heating and cooling your HVAC is producing.
Harsh winters and very hot summers can especially cause surging energy bills as your HVAC has to work overtime to regulate temperatures in traditionally large and poorly insulated spaces. Think of how many times your employees have to open doors as they work. If it's during a hot summer, that means hot humid air keeps getting inside, causing the HVAC to work extra hard to bring temperatures to desired levels. The same can be said of harsh winters when opening doors can suck cold, dry air inside.
If your workspace needs to maintain a certain temperature due to the nature of your work, industrial curtains can be very helpful in helping keep spaces at desired temperatures. Whether it needs to be cool as a refrigerator or 75 degrees to keep you warm against the winter elements, industrial curtains, and our insulated fabric products like Norpac can protect you from high energy bills. You are creating closed spaces within your industrial space, and this in turn helps keep out the extremes and protect your HVAC from working overtime.
Contamination
In many cases, industrial businesses work with either hazardous materials, or their work stations require a certain level of cleanliness to deliver a quality product.
Industrial workspaces are also prone to cross-contamination between spaces. Dust and other airborne particles can travel between surfaces and if left unchecked, they could slowly cause ill health for your employees. Also, free-flowing dust could accumulate on other equipment and result in costly repairs and expensive replacements.
Installing industrial curtains helps prevent the free flow of dust and other airborne particles between areas. Curtains can also keep insects and pests at bay. Cleaning and closing windows may not be enough since, at some point, pests and insects may find a way inside spaces designed to prepare and store food and other perishables. Instead of investing in a permanent wall installation, you could consider installing industrial curtains since they provide the same level of containment at a fraction of the cost.
No matter what your reason, industrial curtains can protect your workplace from unwanted contamination from workspace to workspace.
Branding
Aside from providing functionality, industrial curtains can also be used for promotional purposes. Industrial curtains are the perfect opportunity for function to align with promotion.
Using a design team, many industrial curtains can be custom designed to align with your brand, incorporating colors, logos, and even messages. However, depending on the length of message, this may or may not be recommended. You can work with a design team to decide what to include.
Industrial curtains can also be used to provide a quick makeover for your workspace. Remodeling a warehouse or industrial space can eat up a large portion of your budget. To keep costs low, you can work with a design team to re-configure your workspace to decide how you want your workspace to look and function.
