Industrial Welding Protection for Manufacturing, Plant Engineering and Fabrication
Textile Welding Protection for Different Thermal and Mechanical Loads
Fingerhuth develops and manufactures welding blankets, welding curtains and textile welding protection solutions for industrial welding, grinding, cutting and hot work. The systems protect machinery, equipment, components, surfaces and work areas against sparks, welding spatter, molten metal splash, flames and thermal exposure.
Depending on the application, different material systems based on glass fabrics, high-temperature specialty fabrics, Preox and silica fabrics are used. Material construction, fabric weight, surface treatment and fabrication are selected according to the temperature range, spatter exposure, mechanical load and required protective function.
Welding Blankets and Welding Curtains for Professional Industrial Protection
Select the product range that best matches your application. Our portfolio includes mobile and flexible welding blankets, custom-made welding and heat protection curtains as well as welding curtains for automotive applications. From flexible protection of individual components and work areas to permanent separation of industrial welding zones, our product ranges cover a wide variety of thermal, mechanical and application-specific requirements.
Welding Protection Matched to Your Application
The appropriate protection solution is not determined by maximum temperature resistance alone. Other key factors include the welding process, spark and spatter exposure, mechanical load, area to be protected and required protective function. We support you with the technical selection and develop custom solutions where required.
The Right Welding Protection Solution for Your Application
We support you in selecting and technically specifying welding blankets, welding curtains and custom welding protection systems – matched to thermal exposure, welding process, spatter load and required configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions About Welding Blankets, Welding Curtains and Textile Welding Protection
The appropriate welding protection solution depends on several technical factors. In addition to temperature and welding process, spark and spatter exposure, mechanical load, required protection area and intended use are particularly important.
A welding blanket is typically used as a flexible cover or shield for machinery, components, floors and work areas. A welding curtain, by contrast, forms a suspended or movable spatial barrier and is particularly suitable for separating welding stations and production areas.
The suitable temperature range depends on the material system used. Our portfolio ranges from industrial glass-fabric solutions for conventional welding work to SiO₂ silica materials for extreme thermal loads with short-term temperature peaks up to 1,600 °C. Continuous and peak temperatures must always be assessed separately.
Depending on the application, materials include glass fabrics, Preox materials and SiO₂ silica fabrics. Coatings and surface treatments such as PU-Alufix, HT finish, vermiculite or aluminium foil can be used to tailor performance to spatter exposure, temperature or radiant heat.
Yes. Welding curtains can be adapted to the individual workstation in terms of material, dimensions, edge finishing, eyelet configuration and optional mounting system. Our digital welding curtain configurator is also available for preliminary technical planning.
Intensive welding, cutting or hot work involving slag and molten metal splash requires specially designed spatter protection materials. Key factors include the temperature, quantity, size and energy of the impacting particles as well as the duration of exposure.
Yes. In addition to standard configurations and roll goods, we manufacture custom welding blankets, welding curtains and textile protection systems. Dimensions, material grade, edge finishing, attachment and other fabrication details can be adapted to the specific application.
