Welding Screen
Safeprotex manufactures FM4950-certified welding screens engineered to create safe, flexible welding zones for industrial and workshop use. These screens block sparks, spatter, and debris to prevent fire hazards and improve operator safety.
Built from PVC or advanced fabrics such as silicone-coated fiberglass, PTFE-coated fiberglass, and high-silica cloth, welding curtains cover heat exposure from 250°C to 1650°C (482–3002°F). Each fabric is engineered for low smoke, tear resistance, and optical safety.
All Safeprotex welding screens comply with FM4950 and meet UL94 VTM-0 flammability standards, ensuring proven performance for light-duty, medium, and factory-grade welding protection setups.

Safeprotex manufactures a comprehensive range of FM4950-certified welding screens designed to create safe, modular welding zones for industrial and personal use. These screens effectively block sparks, spatter, and hot debris, reducing the risk of fire and injury in welding environments. Built for both fixed and mobile setups, Safeprotex welding screens deliver reliable protection while maintaining workspace flexibility and visibility.In addition to standard PVC welding screens, Safeprotex offers a full spectrum of high-performance technical fabrics, engineered to withstand diverse welding processes including fusion welding, solid-state welding, and brazing.
Available materials include:
Silicone-coated fiberglass fabric – temperature resistance up to 250–550°C (480–1020°F)
PTFE-coated fiberglass fabric – outstanding chemical and thermal stability up to 600°C (1110°F)
High-silica fabric – continuous protection up to 1000°C (1830°F)
Coated high-silica fabric – extreme protection up to 1650°C (3000°F)
These options allow Safeprotex to tailor each solution to meet small-scale workshop, medium industrial, or factory-grade welding protection needs.Safeprotex welding screens are FM Approved to FM4950, ensuring proven flame resistance and performance reliability under industrial fire-safety standards.
Safeprotex welding screens can be configured as straight, 2-sided, 3-sided, or 4-sided enclosures to match different workspace needs. The straight type separates stations; the 2- and 3-sided layouts form corner or U-shaped barriers; the 4-sided setup creates a fully enclosed booth. Multiple straight panels can also be aligned for modular, expandable protection.
