Welding Curtains & Strip Doors
Turn any opening into a defined work area. Overlapping clear vinyl strip curtains let people and carts pass through while helping contain sparks, drafts and debris. Full and partial overlap curtains, plus strip material on the roll.
Buying guide
How strip curtains work
The overlap between strips decides how well a curtain seals. Wider overlap seals better.
Overlap
Full overlap gives the best seal. Partial overlap, like 1/2 or 2/3, is lighter and easier to walk through.
Clear vinyl
Clear strips keep doorways visible, so people on both sides can see each other. For arc glare around the weld itself, pair them with tinted welding screens.
Strip width
8 inch strips work for smaller doorways and pass-throughs. 12 inch strips suit larger openings and dock doors.
Material on the roll
Buy strip material by the roll to build or repair curtains of any size.

Good to know
Curtains or screens?
Screens are freestanding and portable, great for moving between stations and for blocking arc glare. Curtains and strip doors hang from a track or mount and work best as a semi-permanent wall or doorway.
Many shops use both: strip doors at the weld bay entrance and portable screens around individual stations.
Let people through. Keep the work area defined.
FAQ
Strip curtain questions
What's the difference between full and partial overlap?
Full overlap means each strip fully covers the next for a tighter seal. Partial overlap leaves less material between strips, which makes them easier to pass through.
Can I see through the strips?
Yes. Clear strips are transparent, which helps with safety at busy doorways. To block arc glare, use tinted welding screens around the station.
How do I mount strip curtains?
Strips hang from a mounting track or hardware. Check the listing for what's included.
Can I order strip material by the roll?
Yes. We carry strip material on 300 foot rolls.
