When should you use welding booths or acoustic panels instead of welding curtains? If your main goal is to protect nearby workers from blue light, welding flash, and UV radiation, then welding curtains are a cost-effective and flexible solution, ideal for creating simple welding bays in an open workshop. If you want to reduce your noise, especially from grinding operations, contain your sparks more effectively, and create a more permanent welding area, then you want to go with the CEPRO acoustic panels all day long.

Think of it this way: curtains separate the world. Acoustic panels are going to separate the workspace. If you need any help in design, give us a shout.
