Enclosing boiler from rest of basement
I am looking to close off my boiler from the rest of my basement. Is it possible? Where would I find info on building codes, if any for this? I have a Utica boiler, if that helps

Isolating boiler
One thing you have to keep in mind is the boiler needs air for burning. This can be brought in from outside. Check the boiler installation manual & with local code officials.

Curtain
You could certainly do something like that. Just leave a gap of at least a couple of inches at the top & bottom. If you have no problems with combustion & exhaust now, the curtain should make no difference. I thought you meant you were enclosing the boiler in a room of it's own.
