Cubicle curtains are curtains used around beds, in front of doorways and in other areas where privacy is an issue. All health care facilities are required to provide a certain level of privacy for their patients/residents.
Materials used for curtains must be flame retardant (pass the NFPA 701 test) and 1/2" mesh must be used at top to allow sprinkler water to penetrate curtain if there is a fire. 20" of mesh is standard. The curtains hang from the carriers installed into cubicle track.
| Measure the ceiling height in inches (Example: 9′ ceiling) | 108" |
| Subtract 2" for the carriers | - 2" |
| Subtract 12" to 14" from the floor | - 12" |
| If mesh is needed, subtract 20" for the mesh | - 20" |
| Fabric height | = 74" |
You could express this height as 74"H + 20" Mesh or 94"H, including 20" mesh.
| Measure the length of the track in inches (Example: 15′ – this will be all the track sides added together). | 180" |
| Add 10% to provide fullness to the curtain. | + 18" |
| Minimum curtain width | = 198" |
Note: You must round up to the next width of fabric available for your curtain width to use standard item numbers. These standard widths are as follows: 68", 102", 136", 170", 204", 238", 272", or 306". Curtains wider than 306" are not recommended.
For our example, size calculated above would be 204"W x 94"H, including 20" mesh.
