Used for Welding and Ovens
Exhaust Hood Welding Strips
Exhaust hoods in welding areas help contain harmful fumes and channel them upwards into extraction systems. Adding PVC strip curtains around the hood perimeter improves capture velocity — the air speed at the hood face — which means the extraction unit works more efficiently with lower energy consumption. In UK fabrication shops, this approach also supports compliance with HSE EH40 workplace exposure limits for welding fume.
Oven Exhaust Hood Curtains
Most commonly used in commercial kitchens for pizza ovens and bakery equipment, but also fitted to a variety of industrial baking and curing ovens. The strips direct heat away from operatives whilst maintaining the extraction system's capture efficiency.

Strips Come In Different Colours and Widths
Weld Strip Colours
Welding strip colours vary based on preference. The amount of UV light blocked differs slightly from one colour to another, but all reduce harmful UV radiation. The darker the strip, the more UV protection it provides. Red and bronze are the most popular choices across UK workshops, whilst green and blue tints are favoured for specific TIG and MIG processes.
PVC Strip Widths
Strips come in several different widths and thicknesses depending on the height of your opening and the type of traffic that will pass through it. The strip thickness is an important part of picking a strip for your PVC strip door so that entry and exit is quick and easy. The two most common sizes are below.
- 203mm wide × 2mm thick (Most Common)
- 304mm wide × 3mm thick
