For over twenty years, we have been the leading provider of safe and resilient metal Trade Training Centres in Australia’s schools, TAFEs, and manufacturing facilities. We have designed, fabricated, and installed single bays to complete acoustic welding bay fit-outs for TAFEs with large class capacities.

We offer a full end-to-end service to guide you through the items you need to consider when designing your metals Trade Training Centre. These include wall construction, curtains, extraction systems, electrical and gas reticulation, tables, flooring, and more. Our experienced team can help you with all these considerations, so you can be confident that working with Flexshield will provide you with your desired outcome.

If you need assistance or advice on achieving noise safety at your Trade Training Centre, please call 1300 799 969 or contact us online. Our team of experts is always ready to help!

When it comes to acoustic welding bay specifications, we have you covered. Our Sonic System V50 Acoustic Welding Bay wall partition is our go-to solution. It is designed with pre-finished steel and Rockwool ‘sandwich panel’ construction, and it is protected by an inorganic shredding prevention surface mat that will not support the development of bacteria and mildew.

Our welding curtains are also top-of-the-line, with Flexshield Weldflex^TM strip or sheet-style curtain options. We offer strip curtains for fixed entry areas and concertina sheet curtains for open entry areas. Our welding bay flooring features a Flexshield Welding Mat to reduce the risk of electric shock.

At Flexshield, we are committed to providing the best solutions for your metal trade training challenges. Contact us today to learn more about our custom solutions and how we can help you achieve noise safety at your Trade Training Centre.

Feedback

“Thank you for supplying a set of your Flexshield welding bay curtains for our Cootamundra Campus. Our Young Campus has had your strip curtains for six years now, and with over sixty hours a week of welding classes, the curtains on the twelve welding bays in the practical workshop have required no physical maintenance whatsoever, just a wipe down at the end of each month. A real time-saver over the old canvas curtains they replaced, which were forever coming off their tracks or students fighting their way through them with hot metal welding projects.”

“The semitransparent red plastic barrier allows staff to see a student in the bay whether they're welding or not, no longer running the risk of accidental flash when drawing back the old curtain. Your curtains will replace one-piece plastic curtains at our Cootamundra Campus, which have become stiff and hard with many melt holes where students projects have come in contact with them. I know from experience this does not occur with the strip curtain as they easily allow the student through.” “Due to the success of your strip curtains at Young Campus, several other campuses in our institute will be replacing their old curtains for your flexible strip curtains. Thank you once again.”
