Questions people ask about Complete acoustic welding bays

How are Complete acoustic welding bays configured for different workshop layouts?

Complete acoustic welding bays are configured around the available workshop space, the number of welding stations and the project’s operational requirements. Flexshield can assist with workshop planning and provide configurations that incorporate compatible components, rather than supplying a fixed package.

What components can be included in Complete acoustic welding bays?

Complete acoustic welding bays can incorporate Sonic System V50 Acoustic Panel walls, steel support frameworks, Weldflex™ Concertina Sheet Curtains or Weldflex™ Strip Curtains, and FlexWeld Welding Mats. Optional components include telescopic fume extraction arms, custom workbenches and welding tables, gas reticulation, electrical services, PVC swing doors and inspection windows. The final arrangement depends on the workshop layout and project requirements.

How do Weldflex™ curtains support welding activities and teacher supervision?

Weldflex™ Concertina Sheet Curtains and Weldflex™ Strip Curtains are manufactured from AS3957-complying materials and are UV and spark resistant. They help separate welding activities while allowing flexible access to designated work areas. Curtain selection and configuration should be considered alongside welding flash protection, visibility and supervision requirements. Inspection windows can also be incorporated where required.

What technical documentation is available for specification?

Flexshield can provide product data sheets, supporting technical documentation and independently NATA-accredited acoustic test reports where applicable. Documentation is available to assist architects, builders, education providers and project teams with planning, specification and procurement. Applicable testing and compliance requirements should be confirmed for the components selected for each project.

Can Flexshield assist with planning and installation?

Yes. Flexshield provides workshop planning advice, specification documentation and technical support for education projects. Complete acoustic welding bays are available as supply only or supply and installation throughout Australia. Project teams can use the specification schedule to identify bay quantities, curtain requirements, optional components and installation preferences before requesting a quote.
