Cubicle curtains and track for wards, clinics and care homes
BBS supplies and fits cubicle track and cubicle curtains in wards, clinics, treatment rooms and care homes. Track is fixed to the soffit or through a suspended ceiling and bent to each bed space, with disposable or washable curtains that go up and come down quickly. The fitting team is Enhanced DBS and Yewdale Kestrel certified, and RAMS come before works begin.

Clinical and care rooms we have fitted
We have not published a cubicle track job yet. These three published jobs are the nearest: occupied clinical and care rooms, fitted around the people using them.

Room by room
Track and curtains, bed space by bed space
Cubicle track, divider track and window track get mixed up on a drawing. We quote each by what it does in the room, with the curtains that hang from it.
- 01
Cubicle track
Runs round a bed space, couch or examination area so a curtain can be drawn round the patient. Straight runs, right angles and curves round the head of a bed, with the minimum bend radius of the system checked at survey rather than at the fit.
- 02
Fixing the track
Fixed high, either direct to the soffit or through a suspended ceiling with support above it. A ceiling tile on its own will not hold a track that people pull on all day, so we check what sits above the tiles before anything is ordered.
- 03
Divider track
A straight run that splits a multi-bed bay, a treatment area or a recovery area into smaller spaces. Longer spans bring questions about fixing points, and about where the curtain stacks when it is open so it stays clear of a door, a sink or a piece of equipment.
- 04
Disposable and reusable cubicle curtains
Disposable cubicle curtains for a high-turnover bay, and reusable wipe-clean or washable curtains where they are laundered. Both hang from hooks or gliders in the track, and how easily a clean curtain goes up matters as much as the track itself.
- 05
Mesh panels
Many specifications ask for a mesh panel along the top of the curtain so light, air and sprinkler coverage are not blocked when it is drawn. If yours does, tell us and we confirm it against the curtain at survey.
- 06
Changing curtains
How often cubicle curtains are changed is set by your trust or provider's own infection prevention and control policy. Our part is to make the change quick, and to quote replacement curtains to the same specification so they match.
- 07
Fire performance
Cubicle curtains in healthcare are usually specified against BS 5867 Part 2. Type B is the level commonly regarded as suitable for non-domestic buildings, subject to your fire risk assessment, and Type C, which adds 50 wash cycles to the test, is often asked for where curtains are laundered hard and often. Certificates are issued per fabric, not per range. Tell us what your specification names and we quote to it.
- 08
Load release track
For the rooms your clinical risk assessment names, our fitters hold Yewdale Kestrel certification to fit the load release range, which includes divider and cubicle tracks. The guidance a specifier works to is HBN 00-10 Part E.

Fitting in a live clinical building
Wards, clinics and care homes rarely close for a refit. Tell us which rooms are live, who controls entry and what your infection prevention team needs to see, and we plan the fit around them.
- 01
The fitting team
Our own directly employed fitters, Enhanced DBS across the team, CSCS carded with our own SSSTS qualified supervision.
- 02
Before we start
A project specific RAMS comes before works begin. We ask to see the asbestos register at induction before anyone drills into a ceiling, and we stop and check rather than guess on any material it does not cover.
- 03
Working at height
Two fitters on every visit, one working and one at ground level watching the area below, on inspected and tagged EN 131 access equipment. IPAF and PASMA carded where powered access or a tower is needed.
- 04
Insurance
£5,000,000 public and products liability and £10,000,000 employers' liability with Aviva. The certificates come with the quote or on request.
- 05
Load release rooms
Where load release track is specified, the Kestrel installer certificates for the team on your job come with the quote.

Access and programme
Bay by bay, so the ward keeps working
Bays and rooms are released to us in the order your team can spare them, so the plan follows the service rather than the floor plan.
- 01
Survey
We look at the ceiling above each run, the shape of each bed space and where each curtain will sit when it is open.
- 02
Release
Your team releases one bay or room group at a time, and we agree escorts, access and how our kit enters the area.
- 03
Fit
Track first, then curtains, one group at a time, so no bed space is left half done at the end of a visit.
- 04
Handback
Your named person checks each group with our fitter, including that the curtains run freely, before it goes back into use.
Questions for this setting
Before you send the brief
Do you supply and fit cubicle curtains and track together?
Yes. The curtain hangs from hooks or gliders in the track, so the two are specified together. We survey, supply and fit both across Manchester and the North West.
Can you fit cubicle curtain track in a suspended ceiling?
Yes. Track is fixed either direct to the soffit or through a suspended ceiling with support above it. A ceiling tile on its own will not hold it, so we check what is above the tiles at survey.
Do you fit disposable cubicle curtains?
Yes, disposable curtains for a high-turnover bay and reusable wipe-clean curtains elsewhere. How often they are changed is set by your own infection prevention and control policy.
What is the difference between cubicle track and divider track?
Cubicle track runs round a bed space or couch and is bent to its shape. Divider track is a straight run that splits a larger room into smaller ones. Our guide to cubicle, divider and curtain track sets out the difference in full.
What fire standard should cubicle curtains meet?
Cubicle curtains in healthcare are usually specified against BS 5867 Part 2: Type B for most non-domestic buildings, subject to your fire risk assessment, or Type C where curtains are laundered hard and often. Certificates are issued per fabric, not per range, so tell us what your specification names and we quote to it.
Can you fit hospital curtain track that is anti-ligature?
Yes. Our fitters are Yewdale Kestrel certified installers, which covers the load release range including divider and cubicle tracks. Your clinical risk assessment decides which rooms need it, and the certificates for the team on your job come with the quote.
Can you fit while the ward or clinic is open?
Yes. Live areas are treated as their own access group with their own release times, and we phase around them with the working area kept clear below.
