Common Questions
Where can your curtains be used?
The Change Me Curtain® system will work effectively anywhere there is a ceiling track and a need for privacy. Typical locations include hospitals, surgery centers, physical therapy bays, and other healthcare environments where privacy curtains are used.
Why does the Change Me Curtain® system use rods instead of mesh?
Mesh creates ongoing challenges in healthcare settings. Mesh sections are rarely cleaned, can harbor contaminants, and often tear over time when used with hook-based systems, leading to a worn appearance and added maintenance.
The Change Me Curtain® system replaces mesh and hooks with clear rods and patented wheel carriages. This design allows curtains to glide smoothly, reduces maintenance issues, and creates a cleaner, more professional look for patient spaces.
What ceiling heights does the Change Me Curtain® system support?
The Change Me Curtain® system is available in a variety of rod lengths that accommodate ceiling heights from 7 to 10 feet.
What is the disposable EcoCurtain® made from?
Disposable EcoCurtain® panels are made from non-woven polypropylene. This material is electrostatic sprayer friendly, does not absorb liquid, and dries quickly when sprayed, unlike traditional cloth curtains. The curtains are fire retardant and meet NFPA 701 Test Method 1 requirements.
What are the measurements of disposable EcoCurtain® panels?
Disposable EcoCurtain® panels measure 105 inches wide by 66 inches high. Panels easily snap together to fit any width area. Standardized panel sizing reduces inventory needs and eliminates complex storage since one size fits throughout the facility.
What makes Bannack’s fabric EcoCurtain® unique?
Reusable EcoCurtain® fabric features a plant-based, stain-resistant finish that repels liquids and most stains, allowing many spills to be wiped clean in place. The fabric is made without polyethylene or PFAS chemicals and is launderable and recyclable. When laundering is needed, the Change Me Curtain® system allows soiled panels to be replaced with fresh ones in minutes.
What size are reusable fabric EcoCurtain® panels?
Reusable EcoCurtain® fabric panels are standardized at 85 inches wide by 66 inches high, which facilitates continuity throughout a facility. Standardized sizing simplifies inventory and storage as well as reduces sizing misfits. Panels easily snap together to fit any width area.
Can I switch between disposable and reusable EcoCurtain® using the same rod system?
Yes. The Change Me Curtain® rod system is compatible with both disposable and reusable EcoCurtain® options. Curtains can be quickly and easily swapped using the same rod system, giving hospitals the flexibility to adjust based on infection control needs, operational preferences, or budget considerations.
How do I measure my space to receive a Change Me Curtain® system quote?
Both Reusable Fabric EcoCurtain® and Disposable EcoCurtain® use the same measuring process. Proper measurements allow us to prepare an accurate quote for your space.
- Measure the distance from floor to ceiling (top of track) in each space. This measurement is used to determine the appropriate rod length. Curtains will hang approximately 8 to 12 inches off the floor, depending on ceiling height.
- Measure the length of your ceiling track. One panel is needed for every 6 feet of track.
Tip: Ceiling grid tiles are typically 2 feet by 2 feet, so three tiles equal one curtain panel. - Provide the ceiling track brand and the interior opening width of the track where the wheels slide in. This allows us to select the correct wheel carriage size, as track dimensions vary by manufacturer.
How long will it take to receive a price quote?
Once measurements, track information, and any additional required details are received, quotes are typically provided within 24 to 48 hours.
Is the track or hardware included?
The Change Me Curtain® system includes the hanging rods and patented wheel carriages as an integrated unit. Please note that ceiling track and curtains are not included with the purchase of the Change Me Curtain® system.
