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 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.
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.
Proven welding, spark and heat protection curtains for conventional welding, grinding and hot-work operations as well as applications involving increased mechanical stress or intensive radiant heat.
High-temperature welding curtains for increased thermal and mechanical loads. Different fabric weights, finishes and reinforcements allow selection between lightweight basic designs, dedicated spatter protection and heavy-duty solutions.
High-temperature specialist solution made from SiO₂ silica fabric for extreme thermal exposure and demanding welding, cutting and spatter protection applications.
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 appropriate curtain grade is not selected solely on the basis of maximum temperature resistance. Equally important are the type and intensity of thermal exposure, sparks and welding spatter, mechanical stress, curtain size, mobility and the specific installation conditions.
The following criteria provide a practical technical guide for selecting the appropriate material and curtain design.
The temperature resistance must match the actual thermal exposure. A distinction must be made between continuous temperature, short-term peak exposure, radiant heat and direct thermal exposure.
Light flying sparks place different demands on a protective curtain than intensive welding spatter or hot slag. The type, quantity and energy of the particles influence the required material construction.
Welding, cutting and hot-work operations involving intense spatter may require heavy fabrics with dedicated surface treatments. In particular, molten metal splashes place significantly higher demands on the material than ordinary flying sparks.
If the curtain is frequently opened, moved or otherwise subjected to mechanical stress, area weight, fabric construction, wire reinforcement and tear resistance become important selection criteria.
Fixed curtains and movable curtain systems place different demands on fabrication and material. For sliding systems, eyelets, rollers, curtain tracks and repeated movement must be considered together.
Curtain height, width, overlaps, fixing points and available installation space influence the technical design. Wall or ceiling mounting, division into multiple segments and the required opening travel should also be considered at an early stage.
Welding curtains are used wherever thermally exposed work areas need to be shielded or separated from surrounding zones. They create flexible barriers between welding, cutting or hot-work stations and adjacent machinery, production lines, traffic routes or work areas.
Depending on the process, requirements vary in terms of temperature resistance, fabric weight, surface finish, mechanical strength and the design of the curtain system.
Flexible shielding of welding workstations to protect adjacent areas from flying sparks, welding spatter and thermal exposure. Suitable for individual workstations as well as larger production and assembly areas.
Protection of sensitive machinery, equipment components, electronics and production areas against hot particles, sparks and heat when thermal work is carried out in the immediate vicinity.
Area shielding for thermally intensive cutting and flame-cutting processes involving hot particles, slag and molten metal splashes. Depending on the exposure, specially finished spatter protection curtains are used.
Temporary or permanently installed protective separation during maintenance, repair and assembly work when welding, cutting or other thermal processes are carried out within existing facilities.
Shielding of temperature-sensitive work areas, components and equipment against intense radiant heat. Reflective material surfaces can additionally reduce incoming radiant heat.
In combination with suitable curtain tracks, welding curtains can be designed as movable and flexibly positionable protective partitions. This allows work areas to be opened, closed or reconfigured as required.
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.
Personal advice on product, configuration and application concept.
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.
