Description
Anti-UV red welding PVC strip, cut to the length you need, for screens and curtains around welding bays. This is orange-red transparent PVC with UV filtering, certified to EN 1598 / ISO 25980 for welding screens, so people walking past are protected from harmful UV and blue light and from arc eye, while the welder stays visible. These are plain strips with square cut ends and no plate, holes or fixings. Lengths run from 1000mm to 5000mm.
Why red welding strip
Certified protection. EN 1598 and ISO 25980 set the standard for transparent welding curtains, strips and screens. This certified grade filters the UV and blue light from the arc that causes arc eye in people nearby.
See the welder, safely. The orange-red tint is transparent, so supervisors and colleagues can see that the welder is safe without looking at the arc unprotected.
Not a welding filter. It protects people near the bay, not the welder. The welder still needs a proper welding helmet or shield.
- Certified to EN 1598 / ISO 25980
- Transparent orange-red, filters UV and blue light
- Flexible, 0°C to +40°C
- Plain square cut ends
Where it is used
Welding bays and booths in fabrication shops, maintenance workshops, shipyards, training centres and production lines, and repairs to existing welding curtains and screens.
Which size do I need?
| Strip | Recommended max drop | Duty |
|---|---|---|
| 200mm x 2mm | 3m | Light duty |
| 300mm x 2mm | 5.5m | Light duty |
| 300mm x 3mm | 5.5m | Medium duty |
To repair a curtain or add to it, match the width and thickness of the strips already on it. Measure an old strip end to end for the length, or the drop from your fixing to just above the floor. Lengths run from 1000mm to 5000mm in 200mm steps. If you fall between two, go up one and trim with a sharp knife against a straight edge. Need a different length? Call us for a quote.
Fitting to your rail
These strips are plain, for rails that clamp or bolt the strip in place. If your curtain hangs from a ready-made rail, we also sell red welding strips made to fit it: hook-on welding strips, twin track welding strips, supplied with plates, punching or drilling to suit.

Fitting and care
Strips are cut from the roll and travel rolled, so a slight curl is normal. Unroll them flat overnight before fitting and the curl drops out, more slowly in the cold. Fit inside the doorway where you can, as full exposure to weather shortens PVC life. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, not solvents or abrasive pads.
Frequently asked questions
Does it protect the welder?
No. It protects people around the bay from UV and arc light. The welder must still wear a welding helmet or shield.
Is it fire resistant?
A fire rating is not published for this line. Keep the strips clear of spatter and hot work and inspect them regularly.
Can I mix it with clear strip?
Not in a welding screen. Every strip in the screen should be certified anti-UV grade, or UV can pass through the clear strips.
Do these come with plates or holes?
No. They are plain strips with square cut ends, for rails that clamp or bolt the strip in place.
Why is there a minimum order?
Strips are cut to order, so we supply a minimum of 10 per order. Need fewer, or a length outside this range? Call 01744 520 110.
