What Is a Welding Curtain?
A welding curtain is a protective barrier designed to separate the welding area from non-welding zones, thereby ensuring a safer working environment.
Welding generates arc light, which includes harmful ultraviolet and visible light. While welders wear protective face shields to protect their eyes, others in the vicinity or passing by may not have such protection, putting them at risk of exposure to this harmful light. Welding curtains, which effectively block arc light, are used to mitigate this risk.
Beyond shielding from harmful light, welding curtains also protect nearby workers from burns caused by welding spatter. These curtains are typically made from flame-resistant or non-flammable materials, further enhancing fire safety in the workplace.
