The Best Seats
In The House

We were once again called upon to solve a familiar challenge faced by many schools across North America. In the case of outdated folding partitions installed to separate gym space many years ago, they often become expensive to maintain, unreliable for daily use, and in some cases even pose safety concerns.

Mother Teresa High School in Barrhaven, Ontario was in such a position and needed a smarter, more economical way to divide their gymnasium space while keeping the flexibility required for multiple classes and activities. Replacing the old folding partition with a new one would have been disruptive and costly, likely leading to the same maintenance issues in the future. Instead, the school turned to our team for a better long-term solution.

With maintenance costs on the rise, operation grows unreliable, daily use by teachers becomes frustrating and over time, these partitions end up becoming extremely problematic for facility staff and operators. Schools and general contractors frequently reach out asking whether there is a more economical and user-friendly way to divide gym space without the headaches of traditional systems.

The answer is yes.

For Mother Teresa High School, we removed the old folding partition and installed a brand new Centre Drive Gym Curtain, a clean, modern, and highly functional alternative that delivers excellent performance at a significantly lower long-term cost.

The new Centre Drive system was mounted directly onto the existing ceiling track and required very little construction work and caused minimal disruption to the school’s ceiling structure. The entire project was completed smoothly during the summer of 2025, allowing the school to start the new year with a much-improved facility.

Today, teachers and staff at Mother Teresa High School can quickly and quietly divide their gymnasium space using our simple key-operated Centre Drive Curtain. The system operates smoothly and reliably, making it easy for daily use without the mechanical issues common to older folding partitions.

Our gym divider curtains offer a practical and cost-effective solution compared to traditional folding partitions. They are significantly easier for staff to operate on a regular basis, require far less maintenance, and provide outstanding flexibility for multi-use gymnasiums. By installing on the existing track, we also keep installation costs and downtime to a minimum while delivering a durable, high-quality result that schools can count on for years to come.

When a school or general contractor contacts us about replacing a folding partition, we follow a straightforward and supportive approach. We begin with a convenient site visit to assess the space and take precise measurements, we then share photos of similar completed projects and bring material samples of our vinyl and mesh options for the team to review. From there, we provide clear, competitive pricing and full installation details so decision-makers can move forward with confidence.
