The Data Center Curtains offer many benefits:

  • Save energy on air conditioning by as much as 15% and up to 67% on fans. Protect your mission critical operations.
  • Maximize airflow dynamics and increase the effectiveness of your hot aisle/cold aisle isolation.
  • Specially formulated vinyl and non-vinyl materials include Polysim 509, a low outgassing, static-dissipative polyurethane that meets ASTM and NFPA fire retardancy requirements.
  • Hardware is designed so that curtains fall away in the case of a fire, allowing sprinklers full operating range.
  • Check with your regional electrical utility about energy-saving rebates that can help offset the cost of your system.
