Curtains for all

If you or anyone you know has ever been to the hospital, a clinic, or even to the nurses' office in a school, you have seen one. It provides privacy, it is decorative, and is quite useful.

The cubicle curtain, medical curtain, or hospital curtain, whichever name you choose to call it, creates a make-shift individual room for patients in a multiple occupancy setting where walls are not provided. There are several manufacturing companies that makes the cubicle curtains, several mills that provides the different designer patterns for these curtains, and thousands of contacts through which you can obtain these alternative walls.

Ok, so you know they exist, but do you know that they are not limited to just the hospitals, clinics and schools? A cubicle curtain is usually made with a mesh top, this particular fabrication is preferred in medical settings, it allows the sprinkler systems in these facilities to function properly in the case of a fire, however the same cubicle curtain can be made without a mesh top, with this slight modification, the curtain can be used as a room separator in the home, or as a window curtain.

How's this for an idea? For parents with kids that share a room with their siblings, a curtain can provide each child his or her boundary from each other, offering them that separation when they feel it is important to have some privacy. My daughter was interested in changing the look of her room, so I ordered the cubicle track and cubicle curtains, without mesh, from a company called Imperial Fastener Company, they custom made the cubicle curtains to the size I requested, and had them delivered in a short time thereafter, needless to say, she loves her new decor. I loved it because the budget was right and it looks great.

What about the living room vs. the dining room? most apartments or condos have a combo which people sometimes find clashing. A partial room separation with a decorative curtain on a cubicle track can do the trick. With so many mills, the selection of a pattern to match your room decor is boundless.

So tell me, how many of you now think that you can use a cubicle curtain? By the way, a cubicle curtain track, which is also provided by Imperial Fastener Company, is a great substitute for the drapery track. Just so you know...seriously...it costs much less. They also custom make shower curtains. Hmmm....now I have ideas for re-doing my bathrooms.

Well...that's if for now. Let me know your cubicle curtain ideas, or if you need to know anything about where you can get these cubicle curtains, feel free to ask me.
