Matched to your track

Carrier type and header matched so the new curtains hang on what you already have.

Old curtains removed

We take them away. You do not end up storing what you replaced.

Ahead of inspection

When to Replace, and What It Involves

Who this is for

Any facility with curtains that have reached the end — a clinic whose panels have gone grey, a ward that failed a walkthrough, a practice that has just been told its mesh does not meet clearance, or a building changing hands where the new operator wants a clean start.

When a curtain is finished

Laundering solves soiling. It does not solve any of these, and continuing to wash a curtain past this point simply delays the replacement while the room looks neglected:

Sign What it means
Stains that survive laundering The fabric is at the end of its usable life; further washing will not recover it
Torn or pulling header A curtain about to come down under its own weight — usually the first thing to fail
Brittle or holed mesh Both a privacy problem and a clearance problem
Thinning fabric, visible light Privacy is already compromised
Heavy fading No compliance issue, but it is what a visiting family notices first
Mesh too short for the ceiling A code problem, and common after a ceiling or track alteration
No fire documentation on file You cannot evidence compliance, whatever the curtain's condition

The assessment comes first

Before quoting fabric, we check what the curtain is hanging on. It is common to find that the complaint — sticking, sagging, a curtain that will not close — is a track and carrier problem that new fabric would not have fixed. When that is the case we say so, because the alternative is you buying curtains twice.

We also re-check the mesh height against the ceiling and track as they are today. Under NFPA 13 the mesh must reach at least 22 inches from the ceiling, measured to include the gap above the curtain plus the track and carriers. Ceilings get altered, track gets re-hung, and a mesh height that was right when the building opened is not automatically right now.

Matching, or upgrading

Replacement is the natural moment to reconsider the specification rather than reorder what was there. Worth asking:

  • Does this area's acuity now justify an antimicrobial finish, or was the original choice made for a different use?
  • Is a disposable curtain the better answer for a room that turns over constantly?
  • Did anybody ever want blackout in the recovery bay?
  • Is the fabric registered with the Office of the State Fire Marshal under Title 19, as California requires for public buildings — not merely NFPA 701 tested?

Where you simply want like for like, we match the header and carrier type so the new curtains hang on the existing system without modification.

How the work runs

  1. Assessment. Curtains, track, carriers and mesh height checked room by room. Free.
  2. Quote. Fabric options with fire documentation, quantities visible, and an honest note where a room needs track work rather than fabric.
  3. Fitting. Old curtains down and away, new ones up, carriers replaced where they are worn. After-hours and phased by room where you need the space kept open.
  4. Handover. Fire documentation for the new fabric and a room-by-room record of what was installed.

What a replacement costs

Quoted per facility. What raises it: fabric grade, custom sizes, ceiling height, rooms that also need carrier or track work, and short notice before an inspection. What lowers it: doing a whole floor in one visit, keeping the existing track where it is genuinely sound, and standard fabrics in areas where the clinical risk does not call for more.

Where we work

We serve healthcare and commercial facilities across the Bay Area and the greater Sacramento region — San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Fremont, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Walnut Creek, Berkeley, Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville, Folsom and the surrounding communities. Send a room count or a few photographs and you will have a response the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Laundering solves soiling. It does not solve stains that survive a wash, a tearing header, brittle mesh, thinning fabric or a mesh height that no longer meets clearance. If any of those apply, washing only delays the replacement.

How often curtains should come down for washing is a separate clock from replacement. It is covered in how often privacy curtains should be changed.

Usually yes. We match the header and carrier type during the assessment. Where the carriers are worn we replace those too, which is far cheaper than new track.

Most often because the ceiling or track was altered after the curtains were made. The 22-inch measurement under NFPA 13 includes the gap above the curtain and the track and carriers, so raising or re-hanging track changes it. We re-measure per room.

Yes, removal and disposal are part of the job.

Tell us the date at the start and we will work back from it and tell you plainly whether it is achievable, rather than quoting a comfortable lead time and missing it.

Yes. Phased replacement room by room or floor by floor is normal, and it is often the sensible way to spread the work across budget periods.

We will match as closely as the mill still runs, and tell you honestly when an exact match is not available so you can decide between a near match and replacing the area together.

Yes — evenings and weekends are routine, and usually cheaper than the disruption of closing a room during the day.
