Vinyl welding booth curtains are opaque solid curtains or strip curtains that limit line of sight into the welding cell. These welding booth curtains can be rolled sideways for solid style or walked through for strip style to gain entry into the welding booth. They are inexpensive, quick to install, and easy to move when needed.
The Industry Standard
3 Styles To Choose From
Welding Booth Strips
Welding booth strip curtains are one of the most common styles of weld cell curtains. They are static mounts and do not need to be rolled back into place once the welder enters the booth.
Welding Booth Curtains
Use a steel tube, wire, or our curtain track to mount these side to side curtains. Welding booth curtains are considered the most economical of all of the welding dividers due to its simple design and quick installation.
Welding Booth Roll Up
A new design in the welding world is the roll up welding booth curtain. Pull down on the strap to lower, and the ratchet holds the safety welding shade in place. Pull the strap again and it rolls up.

Mounting Options
Free-standing
If you have no structure to attach to, then you can use the upright floor columns for up to 4.5m in height. Ideal when ceiling hanging hardware options cannot be used or are not ideal. The 16 gauge galvanized steel hardware is designed for rugged industrial use and is quick to deploy and to take down if need be. Depending on the height required, 5cm or 7cm OD tubular steel is utilized. Bolt together design allows for modifications in the future should your welding work cell needs change. The welding curtains can be static zip tied to the frame or rolling curtain hooks.
Curtain Track
The curtain can be hung using steel tracks with roller hooks. This allows the curtain to be rolled out of the way when not needed. It also allows for easy material flow into and out of work areas. Even if the curtains do not need to roll, this method is very efficient and gives the installation a very clean look. Choose from 5 different mounting styles based on the structure you are attaching to.
S- Hooks
If you have a metal bar, tube or steel sire already in place, then simple S-hooks are a common method for hanging a retractable welding curtain shade. They are available in 2.5cm and 5cm sizes.
Wall Mount End Stops
This style uses the same rolling track, as shown, above but is supported only from the left and right sides of the track. The end stops anchor to a vertical surface and eliminate the need to support the track from above, below or in the middle. This design allows the curtains to span up to 2.4m.
