OVERVIEW
When there is no existing structure to attach to, the AKON Freestanding Welding Booth is the ideal solution. They can be single-sided, four-sided, or even connected together to form an entire row of booths. They are also modular in design, with bolt together construction to allow for new layouts in the future.
Choose From Two Styles
PVC Strip Style
Freestanding welding strip booths utilizes a welding PVC strip curtain to block harmful UV rays. The strips come in 8″ and 12″ widths with an overlap to provide a barrier but still allow access into and out of the booth. The strips are static mounted and do not roll open.
Solid Curtain Style
Freestanding welding curtain booths utilizes a vinyl curtain to block harmful UV rays. The curtain can be zip-tied to the frame for static position curtains or use roller hooks so that the welding curtains can be pushed to the side for access.
