Tinted, flame-retardant PVC screens that contain welding arc radiation, sparks and spatter at the source — protecting nearby workers and passers-by from UV/IR glare while keeping the bay visible and ventilated. Freestanding, fixed-frame and hanging strip formats, built to your bay, from prototype to full production runs.
One idea: contain the arc. A welding screen absorbs and filters the intense UV and infrared radiation of the welding arc so that people working or walking next to the bay are not exposed to arc eye and skin burn — while sparks and spatter stay inside the work area.
An open welding bay radiates far beyond the weld itself. The arc emits ultraviolet and infrared radiation that can cause arc eye (photokeratitis) and skin burns to anyone in line of sight, and throws sparks and molten spatter across the surrounding floor. A welding screen intercepts both: a tinted, flame-retardant PVC panel absorbs the radiation and stops spatter, while still letting supervisors see into the bay and letting fumes and heat rise clear. The result is a safer shop floor, fewer hot-work incidents, and an easy way to bring an open fabrication area into line with workplace hot-work practice.
RAX supplies welding screens in three formats — freestanding screens on feet or castors for flexible bay layout, fixed frames bolted to floor or wall for permanent bays, and hanging strip curtains for large or irregular openings. Panels use tinted flame-retardant PVC in bronze, green and red grades, mounted in galvanized or stainless frames. Every order ships with technical layout drawings and an English manual so your site team can position and fix the screens quickly.
Panel heights, tint grades and frame materials shown are industry-typical values for welding screens and are matched to your bay and welding process on the technical layout. EN 1598 is referenced as the applicable product standard for welding curtains; conformity is confirmed per project, not held as a standing certificate.
Every screen is built to your bay and your welding process. The values below are the validated baseline; final figures are confirmed on your specification. Each row states whether the value is RAX-measured, an industry-typical range, or per project.

Not sure which tint, format or frame fits your bay? Send the bay size, the welding process (MIG/TIG/stick) and the surrounding layout and our engineers specify the screens on the technical layout.
Validated substrates and frames, processed in-house on a CNC punching / bending centre. No outsourcing of the structural parts.
Any open fabrication area where arc welding happens near other work or foot traffic.
Your installers get the full document set before the screens ship — the same package our EPC and distributor clients rely on.
Certificates we hold today, and the project-specific test data we arrange against the matching standard. We state held versus per-project so you can tender honestly.
Validated materials, SGS verification and precision manufacturing — performed in-house, with the PVC tint grade and flame-retardant test data matched per project to your welding process.
From a single unit — full order flexibility. Start with one screen and scale to container-load branded production.
Every welding screen is built to your bay and your welding process. Send the bay size, the welding process (MIG/TIG/stick) and the surrounding layout (or site photos) and our engineers return a proposal, layout confirmation and lead time.
From custom engineering to container-load delivery — the document set your local installers need.
Warranty: door body 2 years · operator/motor 3 years · servo motor 5 years. Free spare parts within warranty (DHL/FedEx 5–7 days). Lead time: sample 7–15 days · standard container 12–20 days · custom first order 20–35 days.
A welding screen intercepts two hazards from the arc: radiation and spatter. The tinted PVC absorbs the ultraviolet and infrared radiation that causes arc eye (photokeratitis) and skin burns to anyone in line of sight, and it stops sparks and molten spatter leaving the bay. It also gives supervisors a filtered view into the bay and lets heat and fumes rise clear, which a solid wall would not.
Bronze, green and red are the common grades, and the choice depends on the welding process and the light level you want in the bay. Darker tints filter more arc glare for high-amperage work; lighter tints keep the surrounding area brighter for general fabrication. Send your welding process (MIG, TIG or stick) and typical amperage and our engineers recommend the right tint grade on the technical layout.
Freestanding screens on feet or castors suit bays that change layout often or ad-hoc repair welding. Fixed frames bolted to floor or wall suit permanent, dedicated welding bays. Hanging strip curtains suit large or irregular openings where a rigid panel will not fit, such as wide fabrication halls. We match the format to your bay layout and produce technical drawings for approval.
EN 1598 is the applicable European product standard for welding curtains and screens used in arc welding. We build screens to that intent and arrange the matching flame-retardant and radiation test data per project rather than holding it as a standing certificate, so the conformity evidence is specific to your order. Tell us which standard your tender requires and we confirm the test data we can provide.
RAX holds ISO 9001:2015, CE marking against EN 13241 (industrial door product standard) and EN 12453 (operator safety), plus SGS material reports and Product Liability Insurance. EN 1598 welding-curtain conformity and flame-retardant test data are confirmed per project, not held as standing certificates.
Sample orders run 7-15 days, a standard container 12-20 days, and a custom first order 20-35 days (repeat custom orders 15-20 days). FOB ports are Tianjin and Qingdao; FCL and LCL are both supported.
Every order includes technical drawing bay layout drawings and fixing details, an English installation manual, FAI first-article confirmation and pre-assembly photos, a factory inspection report (dimensions, frame, visual), material verification on the PVC panel and frame, and the CE Declaration of Conformity with the EN 13241 test report.
Send your bay size, the welding process (MIG/TIG/stick) and the surrounding layout. Our engineers reply with a proposal, layout confirmation and lead time — no obligation.
