Weldflex™ welding screens are used to create a defined welding area without permanently closing off the surrounding workshop. They provide a physical screen between welding activity and nearby work areas, helping manage welding flash and radiation while retaining access for operators and equipment.
The appropriate configuration depends on how the area is used. A fixed screen can provide permanent separation between work zones, while mobile or sliding arrangements can be moved when larger equipment, fabricated components or vehicles need access.
Where a project also requires noise control, Weldflex™ welding sheet curtains can be incorporated into a complete Welding Bay with Sonic System acoustic modular panels. The panels provide the acoustic wall construction, while the Weldflex™ curtains provide welding screening and flexible access.
Weldflex™ welding sheet curtains provide a continuous PVC screen for welding areas. They can be fixed to a frame, installed as a sliding curtain or incorporated into a larger bay configuration.
Where frequent access is required, Weldflex™ welding strip curtains can be used instead of a continuous sheet.
The supporting frame and mounting arrangement can be selected around the workshop layout, required mobility and available fixing points.

Weldflex™ welding screens are suited to industrial welding and fabrication areas, engineering workshops, manufacturing plants, rail maintenance facilities, resources sites and other workplaces where welding activity needs to be separated from surrounding work areas.
Weldflex™ welding sheet curtains use a continuous PVC sheet and are suited to fixed or sliding screening. Weldflex™ welding strip curtains use overlapping PVC strips and are useful where personnel or materials need to pass through the opening regularly.
Yes. Screen dimensions, frame configuration, curtain type, mounting arrangement and access can be developed around the available workshop space and project requirements.
Yes. Mobile configurations can use heavy-duty castors and foot-operated brakes so the screen can be repositioned within the workshop when required.
Yes. Flexshield has supplied automated Weldflex™ welding sheet curtains for industrial manufacturing projects. The required motor, track, support structure and controls need to be considered as part of the project design.
Weldflex™ welding screens are primarily welding screening products and should not be specified as the acoustic wall component of a Welding Bay. Where noise control is required, Flexshield can combine Weldflex™ welding sheet curtains with Sonic System acoustic modular panels as part of a complete Welding Bay.
Current Flexshield product information references AS/NZS 3957 for light-transmitting screens and curtains used in welding operations. Current product documentation should be reviewed when preparing a project specification.
Yes, welding screens are typically made from fire-resistant materials that can withstand sparks, splatter, and arc flash exposure.
Welding screens are generally low maintenance; however, periodic inspection and cleaning may be necessary to ensure their effectiveness and longevity.
Welding screens protect against hazards such as intense light, heat, sparks, molten metal, noise, glare, and fumes generated during welding activities.
