At Strip Doors Australia, we know that welding safety is a top priority, and the importance of welding curtains. A welding environment is full of hazards—arc flash, UV and infrared radiation, flying sparks, and hazardous fumes. Without proper containment, these dangers pose serious risks to workers, equipment, and overall workplace safety.
That’s why we offer ScreenFlex® welding curtains, a fire-resistant and radiation-filtering solution designed to protect welding stations, personnel, and surrounding areas. Manufactured to meet ISO 25980 safety standards, ScreenFlex® supports safe and efficient welding environments.
1. Protection Against Welding Arc Flash & Harmful Radiation
Welding generates intense light, which includes ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), and blue light radiation. Exposure to these can cause:
⚠️ Severe eye damage (arc eye, retinal burns, corneal injuries)
⚠️ Skin burns and long-term health risks from UV overexposure
⚠️ Disruptions to workers outside the welding area
Our ScreenFlex® welding curtains are designed to significantly reduce exposure to UVB and UVC radiation, helping create a safe welding environment while maintaining visibility and supervision.
✔ Reduces excessive exposure to visible and infrared light
✔ Minimises reflected light to protect welders and bystanders
With ScreenFlex® welding screens, you get reliable protection from harmful welding radiation.
2. Fire-Resistant Welding Curtains Contain Sparks & Reduce Risks
Did you know? Welding spatter can reach temperatures of 1,500°C or more, creating a serious risk of burns and fire outbreaks. Without proper containment, sparks and molten metal can:
🔥 Ignite nearby flammable materials
🔥 Cause burns or injuries to workers in the area
🔥 Damage equipment, floors, and stored goods
ScreenFlex® welding curtains help reduce fire risks by containing welding sparks and spatter, supporting a safer work environment.
✔ Blocks welding sparks and molten metal spatter
✔ Reduces the likelihood of fire hazards in the workspace
✔ Enhances safety while allowing flexible access
By installing high-quality fire-resistant welding curtains, you can better protect both personnel and property.
3. Effective Fume and Dust Containment
Welding fumes contain toxic metal particles and gases that pose serious health risks, including:
⚠️ Respiratory illnesses from inhaling hazardous fumes
⚠️ Eye and skin irritation from airborne particles
⚠️ Contamination of clean areas in the workshop
While ventilation and fume extraction systems are essential, adding ScreenFlex® welding screens enhance fume control by:
✔ Helping to contain fumes within welding zones
✔ Minimising airborne contaminants from spreading
✔ Supporting better air quality when used with proper ventilation
With ScreenFlex® welding partitions, you maintain better air containment, reducing exposure to harmful welding emissions.
4. Flexible Workspace Organisation for Maximum Efficiency
A well-organised welding workshop leads to higher productivity and fewer workplace hazards. Instead of solid walls that limit movement, our ScreenFlex® strip curtains are portable and can help create defined yet accessible welding bays. So if you only occasionally need to weld in your workshop, it can be an effective solution, rather than having a permanent welding bay.
✔ Clearly separate welding zones from other work areas
✔ Reduce distractions and improve focus for welders
✔ Allow easy access to tools, equipment, and workpieces
5. Supports Compliance with Australian & International Safety Standards
At Strip Doors Australia, we supply welding strip curtains that meet global safety regulations. ScreenFlex® welding curtains comply with:
✅ ISO 25980 (International Welding Safety Standard)
✅ EN 1598 (European Standard for Welding Protection Screens)
✅ AWS F2.3M:2011 (American Welding Society Standards)
