Is there a vendor that sells these curtains or did you have to make them? I can't seem to find any online.

Stop looking in the data center catalogues. They come from industrial product companies. Drive in deep freeze, hospital and food preparation applications. I will get the part numbers and suppliers and publish them here.
In fact I suspect that a new article is called for covering fire suppression and hanging.

Just wondering if you have finished your article on fire supression and the curtains. How were you able to work around the sprinkler heads and appease the Authorities having jurisdiction.

This is a solution that works, even Yahoo are using it. www.Keyzone.com who specialise in providing Data Center solutions such as KVM Switch, Server Rack etc. have recently introduced a Cold Aisle Containment service that makes use of these curtains. Keyzone (020 900 1525) offers a site survey and onsite trial of the curtains. I am sure if you have a big enough requirement they will offer a free of charge trial.

My suggestion is not to look at industrial product companies but to talk to people who are used to working in data centres. I have used http://www.keyzone.com/Data_Centre_Solutions.htm (020 8900 1525) on a couple of jobs with very good results. They offer this system for any racks that you may have but as I had a new install I went with their approved racks. The curtains fit on to their approved racks better then standard racks and they also have vertical barriers for within their cabinets.
This system pays for it self within a few months for most average size data centres, I read some where that Yahoo estimated that they would save £1million per year if they installed this in one of their data centre (they already have a small install).

I have been busy over the last few days writing articles so perhaps you missed it in the mix. Try http://www.thehotaisle.com/2008/07/11/using-cur...
Hope that does it for you.
