Specification

How to calculate strips from a roll

Strips needed = opening width ÷ (strip width − overlap), rounded up. Metres of roll = strips × (opening height + about 100mm for fixing).

Example: a 3,000mm wide welding bay screen, 2,000mm high, using 300mm strips at 50% overlap (150mm). 3,000 ÷ 150 = 20 strips. Each strip is cut to 2,100mm, so 20 × 2.1m = 42m. One 50m roll covers it.

Cutting and fitting tips

• Cut each strip square with a sharp knife against a steel straight edge.
• Lay the roll flat at room temperature before cutting so the strip hangs straight.
• Punch hanger holes to suit your rail, at identical spacing on every strip.
• Replace heavily spattered or scratched strips, as damage reduces visibility.

Questions

Does red give the same protection as green or bronze?
All three tints meet the same welding screen standard. Red gives a lighter view into the bay.

Can I watch an arc through these strips?
No. They protect passers-by from stray UV and glare; welders still need a helmet or filter lens.

Should I pick 2mm or 3mm?
2mm is lighter to push through on foot. 3mm hangs heavier and suits busier bays.

Can the strips be used outdoors?
They are rated from -15°C to +50°C, so check your site stays within that range.
