Weldflex™ Strip Curtains are designed for industrial welding areas where workers need regular access through a screened opening. The overlapping strips part as personnel or equipment move through, then fall back into position without requiring a door or full curtain panel to be manually closed.
This makes Weldflex™ Strip Curtains well suited to fabrication workshops, rail maintenance facilities, manufacturing plants, resources sites and other industrial environments where welding activities need to be separated from surrounding work areas.
For larger workshop projects, Weldflex™ Strip Curtains can be used with Sonic System acoustic modular panels as part of a complete Welding Bay. In this arrangement, the panels provide the acoustic wall construction while Weldflex™ Strip Curtains provide flexible access and welding screening at the bay opening.
The mounting arrangement can be selected around the required access, opening size and workshop conditions.
Weldflex™ Strip Curtains can be configured around the way a workshop operates. Options can include split curtains, sliding sections and wider openings for machinery, fabricated components or maintenance equipment.
On the Jilalan rail yard project, Flexshield supplied Weldflex™ Strip Curtains across six maintenance bays. The curtains were mounted on headrails so sections could slide left or right, allowing the bays to be partly or fully opened for machinery access.
Weldflex™ Strip Curtains are supplied for welding screening applications and are supported by product documentation referencing AS/NZS 3957 for light-transmitting screens and curtains used in welding operations.
Project-specific requirements should be reviewed against the current Weldflex™ product documentation before specification. Other standards or performance claims should only be published where the applicable test report or certification is available.

Weldflex™ strip curtains are used in industrial welding and fabrication areas, engineering workshops, maintenance facilities, rail depots, manufacturing plants, resources sites and custom Welding Bays.
They create a flexible welding screen between an active welding area and surrounding work areas. The red PVC strips help screen welding flash and radiation while allowing personnel and materials to pass through the opening.
Weldflex™ strip curtains are primarily welding screening products and should not be specified as the acoustic wall component of a Welding Bay. Where noise reduction is required, Flexshield can combine Weldflex™ strip curtains with Sonic System acoustic modular panels as part of a complete Welding Bay.
Yes. Strip length, opening width, mounting arrangement and access configuration can be selected around the workshop layout. Flexshield can also develop supporting steelwork or sliding arrangements where required.
Yes. Sliding track and split-curtain arrangements can be used where the opening needs to be cleared for machinery, rollingstock, fabricated components or other large items.
Yes. Strips can be supplied cut to length and pre-punched with the required mounting hardware. Flexshield can also provide installation for projects that require a coordinated site installation.
Current Flexshield product documentation references AS/NZS 3957 for light-transmitting screens and curtains used in welding operations. The current product documentation should be checked when preparing a project specification.
