Selecting the right welding bay screening for your workshop is about more than just dividing space. The right material improves safety, supports compliance, and makes everyday work more practical.
Flexshield offers two proven screening solutions: SonicClear PVC and Weldflex™. While both create safer, defined work zones, they are designed for different applications.
Here’s what to bear in mind when selecting the ideal welding bay screening for your facility.
SonicClear PVC – visibility and grinding safety
Available as a clear strip or sheet material, SonicClear PVC provides a strong barrier while allowing full visibility. It’s ideal for grinding areas, where sparks need to be contained but supervision and line-of-sight remain important.
It is the right choice when:
Weldflex™ – specialised protection for welding
A tinted, UV-stabilised material, Weldflex™ is designed specifically for welding bays. It shields against harmful radiation and provides a visual barrier against sparks and welding flash.
It is best suited when:
