Custom-made welding curtains that protect everyone outside the weld area from arc UV and flying sparks — while still letting light into the work area.
Every curtain is made to your measurements from flame-retardant (FR rated) 13 oz, 14 mil double-polished PVC weld screen film. The film is semi-transparent: people outside the cell are shielded from the harmful effects of ultraviolet light and sparks, while the welding area stays bright enough to work in comfortably.
Because each curtain is built to order, you get exactly the coverage your shop needs — a single screen for one bench, or enough curtain to enclose a whole welding bay.
Made to fit your shop
Our welding curtains can be cut to any required size. All edges are reinforced with our 6,000 pound seat belt material, and you can add as many grommets as required to secure the curtain — spaced for your posts, walls, or track.
Beyond small panels, curtains can be manufactured wide enough to completely cordon off your welding area. Hung from tracking, they open and close as needed, so the cell is enclosed while you weld and open when you don't. We can also supply custom frames for your welding screens, like the one pictured above.
Yellow, red, or dark green?
Our welding curtains come in dark green, red and yellow — all three in the same FR rated film. The colour changes how much visible light passes through the screen, which is really a choice about glare and visibility:
-
Yellow
The brightest of the three. The cell stays easy to see into, so yellow is the usual pick for low- to medium-amperage work and supervised areas.
-
Red
A mid-range shade for medium-amperage work — noticeably less glare through the screen than yellow, while the work stays visible.
-
Dark green
The darkest shade. Chosen for high-amperage work and plasma cutting, where controlling glare matters most.
Whichever colour you choose, the UV protection comes from the film itself, not the tint — a darker screen mainly adds glare control, not a different grade of protection.
Ordering in cold weather?
Our welding curtains don't come with cold crack protection. If you order during very cold weather, your curtain may arrive in a near frozen state — let it warm up in the box before you take it out and unroll it.
When should you replace a welding screen?
A welding curtain doesn't last forever. The arc's UV slowly breaks down the PVC and uses up the UV-absorbing additives that do the protecting, so an older screen can look intact while its protection fades. No law in Canada or the US sets a replacement age — screens are replaced on condition, and the warning signs are fading or colour change, stiffness, cracking, and pinholes or burn damage.
Our replacement guide covers how screens degrade, what to inspect for, a 30-second self-check, and what the regulations actually require: When should you replace a welding screen?
Questions
What sizes can I order?
Any size you need. Curtains are cut to your measurements, edges are reinforced with seat belt webbing, and grommets are added in whatever quantity and spacing your mounting requires.
Can I get a frame or a tracked curtain?
Yes. We supply custom frames for freestanding welding screens, and wide curtains can be hung from tracking so they open and close as needed.
How long does a welding curtain last?
There is no fixed lifespan and no legal replacement age — it depends on how hard the screen works and the condition it's in. Fading, stiffness, cracking, and burn damage all mean it's time. Our welding screen replacement guide walks through the warning signs and a quick self-check.
