Cubicle curtains is a generic name, with the varieties of blackout curtains, disposable curtains, bio-active curtains, shower curtains, eco-friendly curtains, and cubicle curtain track systems. Normally, a cubicle curtain could be defined as a cloth dividing the room into separate enclosures. In the hospital, the tracking systems are extensively used to provide privacy to the patients in a large room and to facilitate easier medical treatment. Below are room separation purposes for cubicle curtains.

Cubicle Curtain Fabrics

Nearly all the manufacturers use fabrics that possess a long-life flame retardant capacity. The curtain cloth would be suspended from a curtain track, curtain carriers, or other types of supporting structures. However, curtain tracking is the most common support for most of the cubicle curtains. In the case of hospital curtains, the cubicle curtain fabric would consist of different types of woven fabrics that would be stitched together. The top portion of the cubicle curtain would be prepared from a mesh fabric to allow light and air flow into the cubicle.  The lower portion would be of opaque cloth to furnish complete privacy.

Majority of the manufacturers use FR nylon mesh fabric for the top portion with a snag-free, woven header, along with a grommet for providing support and ensuring durability. The bottom portion would generally be stitched with polyester yarn that possesses 100 percent fire retardant capacity for absolute flame resistance. The fabrics are classified as antibacterial materials, antimicrobial materials, botanical materials, bio-active materials, and eco-friendly materials. Such materials are normally used for cubicle curtains supplied to hospitals. Shower curtains would be made of normal polyester yarn fabrics, because the other types of fabrics would be too costly to warrant using them in home.

The curtain fabrics are supplied by nearly all the manufacturers in different colors and patterns so that they match the interior of the rooms where the cubicle curtains are used. The specifications of the fabrics and their compliance to fire retardant standards of the state government should be studied and confirmed before placing orders for cubicle curtains.

Curtain Track and Curtain Carriers

The cubicle curtain tracking is done with a curtain track that had been specially designed and bent to meet the specifications and requirements at the place of installation. The curtain tracking systems are normally powder coated and the most common powder coating color is white, so that the curtain carriers blend with the ceiling. Moreover, the curtain track is generally provided a fair amount of lubrication by the application of a Teflon coating, so that the cubicle curtain fabric could be easily operated, if opening or closing of the enclosure is required. The curtain tracking system is also provided with gliding carriers so that the above work is made much easier.

Tracking could be classified as ceiling mounted cubicle track and suspended cubicle track. The ceiling mounted cubicle tracking systems would be made out of aluminum and could be used effectively for covering the beds of patients, separating shower areas in the bathrooms, or in any other places where personal privacy is needed. In places where the ceilings are very high or other obstructions prevent the mounting of curtain track in the ceiling directly, suspended cubicle tracking system is utilized. In the suspended tracking systems, the curtain track is suspended by an aluminum tube that is fixed to the ceiling and the track with plastic flanges.
