Privacy Curtains

Privacy curtains are not only required by law, but they are also comforting for patients. They aren't all created equal, either. There are certain features that you should look for when equipping your office.

What to Look for When Purchasing Privacy Curtains

You want curtains that conserve floor space, especially for a small office or mobile practice. It's also helpful when curtains open to their full width without zigzagging. Although you might think fabric curtains are more desirable, it's safer and more practical to select flame retardant vinyl curtain.

Look for a vendor that offers a comprehensive selection of privacy curtain screen and curtain hardware. Privacy screens are also very useful for simply dividing a room. These types of screens are often used in massage therapy practices to give individual masseuses a place to practice. Other uses for these curtains include hiding unsightly features of the room or building.

Nearly every hospital in the United States uses the type of privacy curtain that is assembled via a curtain track. Good vendors will have helpful instructions regarding assembly, or even help sheets to refer to while putting together the frame. If you're concerned about aesthetics, you can find curtains whose rods and brackets are powder coated with a neutral color. Most curtain kits come with a wall bracket, a rod, and a vinyl curtain with hooks.
