OVERVIEW
AKON's portable SB-14000 welding screens are portable and retractable and can be installed into any fabrication facility without issue of congestion. If the welding work is temporary, these welding curtains can be quickly deployed and taken down with ease. When packed up, the portable retractable welding curtains take up nominal storage space which increases space usage efficiency.
These rolling welding screens come in many different colors, and you can choose any one of them to enhance the way your facility looks. The screen contains welding sparks along with the harmful UV light. You can also learn about Portable Welding Screens For Service Trucks in this amazing post we wrote recently.
Rapid Deployment
Efficiency And Effectiveness In One
Freestanding and portable, our welding screens are easy to use. They will protect facility workers and everyone else who passes by from dangerous hazards such as UV flash, sparks, spatter, or other dangerous materials coming from the remote job sites.
The setup is surprisingly quick and easy; requiring only a few seconds. You can take it down in a moment and move it elsewhere without any issues. Deploy, do your thing, roll back up, and move on with the next assignment. Our freestanding portable welding screens are

Folds Up Quickly
The welding shade folds up / rolls down quickly and allows the welding operator to put the retractable welding screen into an area that is out of the way. The portability of the welding screens with their roll up design also makes them ideal mobile welding on service trucks or field welding outdoors. They can be put on welding service trucks where quick deployment is needed for mobile welding operations in the field.
Frequently Asked Questions
The SB-14000 portable welding screens stand up on their own without needing posts, frames, or any mounting hardware. Steel wire mesh built into the fabric keeps the screen rigid while staying light enough to carry around easily. Service trucks keep these on board for field welding jobs, and shops use them for temporary projects that pop up in different areas throughout the day. The screens fold flat for storage instead of taking up valuable floor space like traditional welding barriers. This FAQ covers whether these really stay upright without tipping over, how the wire mesh holds up to sparks, and if the lightweight design actually blocks enough UV radiation for safe welding.
SB-14000 Portable Welding Screens – Frequently Asked Questions
What are SB-14000 portable welding screens used for?
They are used to create flexible, mobile barrier zones for welding operations, allowing work in fabrication areas while protecting other zones from sparks, UV flash, and debris.
Are SB-14000 portable welding screens compliant with safety standards?
Yes, when specified properly they meet flame-retardant and welding site zoning requirements, providing safe partitioning in industrial environments. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
What materials are these screens made from?
They typically feature flame-retardant vinyl or reinforced PVC screens mounted on mobile steel frames or casters, designed for industrial welding environments. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Can SB-14000 screens be moved easily?
Yes, they are portable and wheeled or mounted on casters, making it easy to reposition welding zones and adapt workflows in fabrication areas.
Do the screens block welding arc flash and UV?
Yes, the screen materials are designed to filter harmful UV rays and arc flash from welding operations, enhancing safety for adjacent workspaces.
Are clear vision panels available?
Yes, optional clear vinyl or polycarbonate inserts can be added to maintain visibility while preserving the protective barrier function.
Can these screens be configured into multiple panels?
Yes, they can be arranged as single panels or linked in multi-panel configurations to create longer barriers or moveable enclosures around welding cells.
Do SB-14000 screens support high-traffic industrial use?
Yes, they are built for industrial environments with repeated use, exposure to welding operations, and mobility requirements.
Can these welding screens be used outdoors or semi-outdoors?
Yes, when specified with UV-resistant materials and corrosion-resistant hardware, they can be used in semi-open fabrication zones. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Do portable welding screens help reduce noise?
Yes, by effectively partitioning welding zones they contribute to noise reduction and help isolate workplaces from loud welding processes.
Are replacement panels or hardware available?
Yes, individual panels, casters, frames and hardware parts can be replaced without full system replacement, reducing maintenance downtime.
How are SB-14000 portable welding screens installed?
They simply roll into position and can be anchored or lock-in place; minimal installation needed versus fixed barriers, increasing flexibility in layout changes.
Do these screens integrate with fume extraction or ventilation systems?
Yes, they help define welding zones and can be used alongside exhaust or extraction systems to support environmental protection and workflow safety.
Are the frames corrosion-resistant?
Yes, the frames are typically built from coated or stainless steel to withstand industrial cleaning, welding residue, and mobile handling.
How long do SB-14000 portable welding screens last?
With proper care, regular cleaning and usage, they typically last 4-8 years depending on the environment, usage intensity and maintenance practices.
Do the screens help with safety compliance?
Yes, they help meet industrial safety regulations for welding zones by providing movable, clearly defined barriers and reducing cross-zone exposure.
What sizes are common for the SB-14000 portable screens?
Sizes vary but panel widths can range from 4 ft to 10 ft or more and heights from 6 ft to 10 ft; custom sizing is often available. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Can these screens be used as temporary or permanent barriers?
Yes, their portability lets you use them temporarily during certain jobs or permanently as part of your welding zoning strategy depending on need.
Are motorized or automated versions available?
Some models may offer automated or hydraulic rolled options, though standard portable units are manually repositioned for flexibility.
What are the advantages of portable welding screens compared to fixed walls?
They offer faster setup, mobility, lower investment, easier reconfiguration, and no major construction — ideal for changing workflows and flexible workspaces.
How do I maintain these portable welding screens?
Maintenance includes cleaning the screen surface, inspecting casters and frame, checking clear panel inserts for damage, and repairing or replacing worn parts when needed.
