Increase Revenue 

A higher business focus on safer and higher-quality products and equipment also provides for an overall increase in revenue due to the decreased losses and loss potential of injuries, life, equipment, time, and money. 

Increase Revenue Potential 

If you have drastic decreases in the various impactful areas of your workspaces, you not only increase your regular revenue but also your revenue potential. You will not have to recover from your various losses and will also have higher ability and focus on increasing your revenue.

Benefits of Welding Curtains

Welding curtains are one of the top products from Singer Safety that make for highly valuable equipment in your workspaces and warehouses that can have all the aforementioned benefits for your business. Beyond making welding curtains an essential part of your workspaces, there are further benefits of welding curtains when properly and consistently monitored and maintained. Proper monitoring and maintenance ensure the highest levels of safety, worker, and revenue benefits. The top benefits of having welding curtains include having a defined welding area, higher worker protection, continuous airflow, and increased noise reduction.

Defined Welding Area 

A defined welding area has many benefits and impacts on your business. They provide more safety, decreased exposure to harmful light or other materials, and the welding curtains from Singer Safety provide valuable flexibility, allowing you to adjust and move them at will. 

Higher Worker Protection 

The increase in safety from having welding curtains includes safety from levels of harmful UV light and airborne dangers such as metal waste, fire sparks, splashing liquids, and high temperatures.

Continuous Airflow

Welding curtains also provide the added benefit of providing continuous airflow instead of closing it off. Welding can produce harmful fumes and chemicals but welding curtains still allow for proper and necessary airflow.

Increased Noise Reduction

Another top benefit of welding curtains is an increase in noise reduction or decrease in harmful and regular noises in your workspaces. Welding can produce certain levels of noise pollution that can affect productivity and safety. These curtains provide a barrier for people outside them.

How Long Will Welding Curtains Last? 

The welding curtains from Singer Safety have the highest levels of quality, reliability, and length of life, but for proper monitoring and maintenance to experience all the benefits of increased safety and welding curtains in your workspaces, you will need to know just how long your welding curtains will last. Knowing the average length of life of your welding curtains allows you to better provide a regular check-up schedule, save costs by only replacing your welding curtains when they need to and using their full length of life, and continue to increase and maintain the safety and quality of your spaces by not having outdated curtains.

Under normal conditions, welding curtains can last up to 50 years by photodegradation. However, the UV radiation of welding decreases this number. The materials used in the welding curtains also affect lifespan. Depending on usage, curtains with vinyl can last around 7-10 years. Nylon can add resistance to tears and damage. Welding curtain design has radiation exposure in mind. Aspects that can make a big difference include how close the curtains are to welding activities, and regular monitoring for wear. Replacement should occur when curtains show signs of damage, wears, frays, rotting, or holes that workers cannot repair.
