Center-Roll® Curtain
Specify No. 2080
The finest divider curtain available for today’s modern gymnasium and field
house applications. No more hoist cables, straps or overhead support rollers,
this truly revolutionary and unique hoisting system eliminates any high stressed
mounting points on your overhead structure.
The Ultimate in Compact Storage!
The Center-Roll® curtain rolls neatly and compactly to within 14" of
the ceiling or overhead support structure for maximum clearance. When support
structures allow, curtain will roll up through a one-foot wide opening and store
above ceiling areas to further enhance the aesthetics of your installation.
Rolls Smoothly and Quickly from the Center
The curtain rolls very neatly on an anodized aluminum tube located in the center
of the curtain. As the aluminum tube rotates, it moves the curtain up, rolling
up the top and bottom sections simultaneously. The assembly is extremely quiet,
operates at 30ft/min., features automatic overheating protection, and is permanently
lubricated for a maintenance-free operation. The torque reaction of this drive
assembly is taken up by either a wall-guide/torque carriage, or a torque strap-arm
arrangement, both of which roll up with the curtain.
Fabric Raises Without Straps or Cables
The solid section of the curtain is furnished in Porter’s 19 oz Flexivide®
vinyl fabric and the mesh section in Fleximesh® vinyl-coated mesh designed
with an approximate 45 to 50% open, air breathing area to provide both light and
air transfer. Access openings or contour-type configurations over bleacher areas
may be provided at any location below the Center-Roll® batten tube. Lower
support tube may be furnished with optional 3/4" thick padding for added
safety. Available in your choice of solid and mesh combinations, as well as a
variety of colors to choose from.
Fleximesh® Curtain Mesh Material for Roll-up Curtains
The Fleximesh® material provides a 45 to 50% open, air breathing area when
designed as an upper section in divider curtains to provide air transfer in gymnasiums
and field house applications. Fleximesh® mesh is available in four colors
(specify).
Creative Design Offers Many Options
The Center-Roll® can be designed with special openings for bleachers
and passageways. It may also be specified as a dual-wall divider curtain incorporating
wall-guide drive assemblies. The dual-wall divider is constructed of solid 19
oz. Flexivide® material with a one-foot air space between units
to provide additional sound reduction capabilities. Additional items can be specified
for use with this curtain, such as the Saf-Strap®, Powr-Touch™
and the Sportsonic® II wireless control system. Patent No’s.

contours of your specific installation. The electric winch system includes a custom-engineered
variable diameter ratio system, which hoists the gym divider to storage position
and conforms to the existing slope or contour of the facility. Variable ratio
drum winch assembly enables the No. 665 curtain to conform to virtually any slope.

tracks for multi-purpose usage of larger facilities. The curtain track is enclosed
