How to Specify Weldflex^TM Strip Curtains

1. Determine Application Requirements:

• Identify the specific welding environment (workshop, training facility, industrial site)
• Consider access requirements (personnel, equipment, materials)
• Assess environmental factors (exposure to chemicals, weather, etc.)
• Define whether the static or mobile solution is needed

2. Measurements and Dimensions:

• Measure the total width of the opening/area to be covered
• Determine required height (standard installation is 300mm from the floor)
• Calculate overlap requirements (standard 50mm overlap between strips)
• Consider clearance needs for equipment and materials
• Strip Selection:
• Choose strip width:
  • 200mm (for openings less than 900mm)
  • 300mm (for standard installations)
• Specify the number of strips needed based on width and overlap requirements

3. Mounting System Selection:

• Standard Key Rail: For typical installations
• Stainless Steel Combing Rail: For corrosive environments
• Sliding Track: For areas requiring full access
• Support Structure: Specify if additional steelwork is required

4. Installation Method:

• DIY Kit Option: Includes pre-cut strips, mounting hardware, and instructions
• Professional Installation: Full service by Flexshield team
• Specify any special installation requirements or access restrictions

5. Additional Specifications:

• Mobile unit requirements (if applicable)
• Custom support structure needs
• Special mounting configurations
• Any specific compliance requirements
