Summit Single Layer Non-Insulated Curtain

This standard clear curtain is 6.4 oz (most popular) and up to 10 oz and is made from premium coated woven Polyolefin fabric. The coatings contain a flexomeric additive which improves abrasion resistance, seam integrity and hydrostatic resistance, along with enhanced UV protection.

This fabric allows 75% light penetration but no visual (can’t see images through it) and is also available with a fire rated coating.

Summit Insulated Curtains

Sun-North manufactures the only 10 layer insulated curtain with an estimate R factor of R 4.5. The Summit insulated curtain has 8 internal layers of non-breathable woven polyethylene. These layers don’t absorb moisture or mildew. Sun-North then offers a number of options for external and internal weather shell to black out or allow light penetration through the Summit curtain.

Depending on the fabric selected this light penetration varies from 0% to 14%. The outer and inner weather fabric shell is 6 oz to 9 oz woven premium coated Polyolefin fabric with enhanced UV protection.

The customer selects the inside and outside coating of the outer shell and also the coating on the inner shell. For example, the outer shell coating can be white silver and the inside shell can be white silver allowing no light penetration.

Sun-North also sews continuous seams horizontally through the length of each curtain. These seams stop the curtain from bulking up while trying to fold neatly down onto a sill.

View Brite Curtains

The View Brite is a clear 14 oz laminated fabric. It is extremely weather resistant, UV stabilized, cold crack resistant, remains flexible and anti-mildew. This fabric appears as a clear material with an internal grid of polyester cord and allows 95% light penetration with 40% visual meaning you can see images through the fabric.

This fabric can be used as a complete sidewall curtain or can be incorporated as a panel at the top or middle of a curtain system.

Breathable Curtains

A breathable curtain allows, depending on the fabric selected, 6 to 25% air movement through the fabric. In storage buildings and livestock facilities some air movement will keep room conditions dryer and fresher without permitting rain and snow penetration. There are two alternative fabrics depending on use, woven polypropylene and HDPE (high density polyethylene). Both fabrics range in weight from 6 oz to 8 oz and are typically black in colour. This fabric has a high UV stabilization rate and is mild dew resistant.

Sun-North can combine this with other fabrics or clear plastic to customize a curtain for your specific needs.

Fabric Doors

Fabric doors are often used as commodity shed doors, agri. doors, roller doors, track screen doors as they have many advantages over conventional doors:

(1) will span greater widths of opening
(2) considerably less expensive
(3) much lighter and therefore less stressful on operating hardware.
(4) A breathable fabric can be used permitting minimal ventilation within the building which will assist in keeping the housed inventory or livestock dryer.
(5) Most fabrics allow from 10% to 30% light penetration allowing ease of visual contact within the building.

This fabric varies from 6 to 12 oz coated PVC or HD polyethylene and has several colour options. This fabric is rot resistant, UV stabilized and is also available in a fire rated coating.

Town & Country Park Pavilion Enclosures

All communities have park pavilions that are limited in their use because of inclement weather conditions. Sun-North uses a wide range of Summit fabrics to create affordable, movable barriers against driving rain and to enhance shade conditions.

This fabric can range from no light and no air penetration to 50% light and 50% air movement. Sun-North uses 6 oz to 12 oz coated PVC with several colour options and HDPE (high or low density polyethylene). All fabric is rot resistant, UV stabilized and available in a fire rated coating.

Sun-North manufactures a wide range of hardware from inexpensive to completely automatic to drop down or roll up fabric sidewalls.

Large Door Commodity

- Weather Stop fabric door system -

Weather Stop fabric doors are designed for large door openings in open front calf and heifer barns, commodity sheds and implement buildings. Weather Stop is unique because it is an anti-unravel knitted polyethylene fabric with a very high level of UV protection guaranteeing long life. Weather Stop fabric is semi-permeable which allows some air movement and minimum ventilation through very small openings in the fabric while keeping out rain and snow. Weather Stop uses gear drives to roll the fabric up and down allowing clear access for opening up to 30' high.
