Protect Your Machinery and Products with Flexshield PVC Strip Doors, Swing Doors, and Sheet Curtains

Are you seeking to protect your delicate equipment and production areas from the adverse effects of rain, wind, and dust? Flexshield provides cutting-edge weather protection solutions expressly crafted to shield your equipment and production areas. Our range includes flexible PVC strip curtains, SonicClear PVC screens and barriers, all meticulously engineered to establish a dependable defence against the elements while facilitating unimpeded access during operations or maintenance. Compliant with industry standards and subjected to stringent testing, Flexshield’s tailor-made weather protection solutions are customised to suit your specific size and environmental requirements.

Weather Protection Performance

Flexshield weather protection screens provide a flexible barrier against rain, wind, and dust, effectively safeguarding sensitive equipment and production areas. You can select from various Flexshield SonicClear products to create the ideal weather protection solutions. These products include:

All SonicClear products are chemically tested against common chemicals and have NATA-credited test results.

Weather Protection Construction

Flexshield weather control curtains and barriers are constructed from UV-resistant and anti-corrosive materials to ensure durability and longevity, even in harsh conditions. The barriers are designed for easy installation, allowing unhindered access for machines or personnel during operations or maintenance. Additionally, their clear construction provides 100% natural lighting.

The mounting option required depends on the weather protection option selected. All Flexshield strip curtains use dished washers to extend the PVC strip’s life and prevent tearing at the mounting points. Stainless steel fixings prevent corrosion and ensure easy maintenance, while aluminium mounting tracks are anodized for a durable, neutral finish.

Heavy Duty Head Rail

Head or face mount options with anodized aluminium offer simple and efficient installation and are also available in a compact size.

Stainless Steel Hook-On Track System

A premium hook-on product that uses corrosion-resistant stainless steel and can be easily removed for cleaning and unrestricted access.

Strip Curtain Sliding Track Options

Flexshield sliding curtains allow clear, unrestricted access through doorways during heavy traffic or when the barrier is unnecessary. The sliding strip curtain can have spring-loaded positioning locks and extension handles for high doorways. The system also allows the strip curtain to be mounted inside a doorway with a roller door fitted, ensuring protection from the weather and vandalism.

"The plastic curtains we have been purchasing are working well in containing the dust in our crushing and screening buildings."
