Rayflex supplies made-to-measure welding curtains manufactured to suit your unique requirements. The welding curtains add an additional layer of protection in the welding workspace, offering protection and safety for workers and maximising the area, improving overall productivity.

What is a Welding Curtain?

A welding curtain is a relatively simple product, designed to protect workers from serious injuries by shielding them from welding arcs. Welding arcs produce a large amount of heat, which can lead to burn injuries to workers in close proximity if exposed to them.

However, the heat from the welding arc is not the only factor that can cause injury. Welding arcs produce powerful UV light, which can also harm nearby worker’s eyes if they are not wearing the appropriate eye protection.

We use high quality welding grade PVC to provide the ultimate protection against dangerous UV rays. The PVC is naturally dark in colour, however, when light radiates behind the screen, visibility is improved allowing workers to be observed without risking harm from damaging UV rays.

Giving privacy to the welders can improve productivity in the workplace. Without welding curtains, they can be easily disturbed due to other noise, or they might be worried about colleagues approaching which can distract the welder.

Which Welding Curtain Should You Choose?

While all the welding curtains Rayflex supplies create a barrier around a welding area, there are different types you should be aware of. Some are a solid colour, whereas others are a semi-transparent colour. With semi-transparency, you can see through the welding curtain which can be useful in a workplace, as you will be able to see other workers outside of the curtain.

Size is another factor to consider when selecting the welding curtain of your choice. They are available in a range of sizes, with some specifically designed for a large work area, whereas others are designed for smaller areas.

The PVC screens are manufactured to suit either a sliding track suspension system (which requires fixing across the entire width) or tension wires and clips. The screen can be fully retractable when not in use and we can include eyelets for fixing along the top and sides, access points, weighted bottoms, and Velcro seams to ensure you achieve the optimal solution for your application.

  • Do you require any access points, weighted hems, or Velcro seams?
