Industrial Welding Curtains & Spark Protection Curtains
Flexible Protective Curtains for Welding, Cutting & Hot Work
Fingerhuth welding curtains provide flexible separation and shielding of welding workstations, machinery, production areas and adjacent work zones. They protect against flying sparks, welding spatter, hot particles and radiant heat and – depending on the selected material grade – can also withstand high thermal loads and molten metal splashes.
Temperature resistance alone is not sufficient when selecting the appropriate welding curtain. Equally important are spatter exposure, mechanical stress, curtain size, attachment method, mobility and installation conditions. We therefore offer different material systems based on fiberglass fabric, wire-reinforced fiberglass fabric and high-temperature-resistant SiO₂ silica fabric.
All curtains can be tailored to the specific application and manufactured with custom dimensions, hems, eyelets and matching curtain track and mounting systems.
Configure Your Welding Curtain with Track & Mounting System
Configure your welding curtain or spark protection curtain to match your work area. In addition to material grade, dimensions, edge finishing and eyelets, you can also include curtain tracks and matching mounting components directly in the configuration.
This gives you the curtain, fabrication and suspension as one technically coordinated welding curtain system from a single source.
Welding Curtains for Different Temperature & Load Ranges
Our range includes welding, spark, spatter and heat protection curtains for industrial applications. The individual material grades differ in terms of temperature resistance, area weight, material construction, surface finish and mechanical strength. This allows the curtain to be selected specifically for the process and the planned installation conditions.
Not sure which welding curtain is right for your application?
Temperature alone is not the only selection criterion. Spatter exposure, mechanical stress, curtain size, mobility, installation conditions and the mounting system can all have a decisive influence on the appropriate material grade. We will be pleased to support you with the technical selection.
The Right Welding Curtain for Your Work Area
Our specialists support you in selecting the appropriate material grade and curtain design – matched to temperature exposure, sparks and welding spatter, mechanical stress, dimensions as well as attachment and mounting conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Welding Curtains, Materials & Curtain Systems
Selecting and designing the right welding curtain depends on several technical factors. In addition to temperature resistance, spark and spatter exposure, mechanical stress, dimensions, fabrication and installation conditions all play an important role.
The appropriate curtain grade is not determined solely by the maximum temperature. The type and intensity of spark or spatter exposure, mechanical stress, curtain size, mobility and installation conditions are equally important. Lightweight fiberglass designs are often sufficient for conventional welding and grinding, whereas high temperatures or intensive metal splashes may require more robust high-temperature or silica grades.
Depending on the material and construction, our welding curtains cover different temperature ranges. The portfolio ranges from industrial fiberglass curtains up to 600 °C and high-temperature grades up to approx. 1,100 °C to SiO₂ silica fabrics for extreme thermal exposure with short-term peaks up to 1,600 °C. Continuous operating temperature and short-term peak temperature must always be considered separately.
Welding curtains are primarily used vertically as protective partitions and are commonly suspended using eyelets, hooks or curtain tracks. Welding blankets, by contrast, are typically placed directly over or on areas, machinery, components or floors that need protection, or positioned flexibly as required. In both cases, the appropriate material grade depends on the actual exposure.
For intensive spatter exposure, dedicated spatter protection curtains are recommended. Key factors include the temperature, size and energy of the impacting particles as well as the duration of exposure. Vermiculite-coated high-temperature fiberglass or silica fabrics are particularly suitable for heavy welding spatter, slag or molten metal splashes.
Yes. Our welding curtains are tailored to the specific application. Width, height, edge finishing, eyelet arrangement and other fabrication details can be specified individually. Multi-section curtain systems and repeatable series-production designs are also possible.
Yes. Matching curtain tracks, curtain rollers, connectors, stoppers as well as wall and ceiling mounting components are available for movable welding and heat protection curtains. This allows complete flexible curtain systems to be designed for industrial work areas.
Yes. Our digital welding curtain configurator allows you to define the material grade, dimensions, edge finishing and eyelet configuration. Matching curtain tracks and mounting components can also be included as part of the system solution. The completed configuration then serves as the basis for technical review and quotation preparation.
