Standard Top Down (TD) curtains are permanently fastened at the bottom of the opening and lowered (opened) from the top. In cold weather the initial air enters high on the side-wall to ensure ventilation with minimum draft.

However, permanent ‘bunching' of these larger (8ft and greater) dairy curtains permits water accumulation and rodent infestation in the fabric folds and has discouraged their acceptance. Dig deeper »

The Faromor Top Down-Summer Roll Up (TD-SRU) operated curtains have the same advantage of a high cold air entry point but permits the curtain to be neatly rolled and stored for the summer season. This eliminates the problem of water accumulation and rodent infestation thereby extending the life expectancy of the product.

The curtains are normally fastened at the bottom in winter and released to be rolled up in the late spring for permanent storage until late fall when needed again. Dig deeper »

Bottom Roll-Up Only (BRU) curtains open from the bottom up by wrapping itself around a bottom attached rotating aluminum tubular pipe. As the pipe rolls the curtain supports the weight of the pipe keeping it under tension and raising it under continuous tension as it raises.

The system eliminates the need for lift cables and pulleys which give rise to maintenance problems and constant vigilance on large barns. It also provides all the advantages of eliminating water entrapment, rodent infestation and storage under the building overhang protecting from ultra-violet degradation.

Roll-a-Way (RAW) curtains have a permanently mounted bottom aluminum roller tube. As the curtain lowers from the top down the excess curtain material continually wraps on the rolling tube thereby eliminating the water entrapment and rodent infestation.

These Roll-a-Way curtains offer the advantage of an initial opening high on the side wall which will accommodate application of large single piece curtains with minimal wind noise. Dig deeper »

Split Curtain System is the application of two piece curtains on the side wall of the freestall dairy. They can be installed as any combinations of the above described curtain types. For example, the upper curtain could be a Roll-a-Way (RAW) and the lower curtain a Bottom Roll-Up (BRU).

We consider the lower curtain as a ‘temporary wall' which is usually down through-out most of the winter and totally open all summer. For this reason the lower curtain often is operated manually whereas the upper is often operated automatically.
This system is available for either manual or fully automated operations. Dig deeper »
