Flexiscreen® weather and dust protection screen

Flexiscreen® is Westgate Global’s engineered temporary building screen for weather protection and dust control. The suspended, modular system shields open structures from inclement weather, regulates temperature, reduces noise and prevents dust migrating to adjacent live or clean areas, keeping operations running while construction or refurbishment continues.

Panels are suspended from the building’s existing steelwork using clips and s-hooks, with no additional supporting framework or scaffold required. They join using a unique v-overlap system and are tensioned and secured to the floor using battens. This creates an over 99% weather and dust-tight seal around ducts, pipes, steelwork and at ceiling level, meeting ISO Class 7 cleanroom standard where required.

Flexiscreen can be installed to any height and length (subject to survey) and can be configured at an angle to accommodate unusual structures. It incorporates roll-up sections for equipment or vehicle access, and additional access points can be added as requirements evolve. A modular hard base can be installed in the bottom section with the screen above. The system is available for both internal and external applications.

Flexiscreen can be specified to meet the exact demands of your environment. A wide range of reinforced, lightweight materials is available, including fire-resistant, antimicrobial (for sensitive areas adhering to BRC standards) and translucent. Wind load calculations and structural design support are available for projects in exposed locations. Panels can be relocated, reconfigured and extended across project phases, offering a durable, cost-effective alternative to scaffold sheeting.

Flexiscreen delivers proven protection for new-build construction, industrial extensions, live manufacturing environments, and equipment installation projects.

• Weather protection for new build construction and extension projects
• Live manufacturing/warehouse environments during equipment installation and refurbishment
• Dust and contamination control adjacent to clean or sensitive production areas
• Temperature regulation and noise reduction during construction or extension projects
• Internal and external separation of active from protected areas on high-risk or mission-critical sites

What are the lead times for a Flexiscreen installation?
Due to the customised nature of our Flexiscreen solution, and the choice of seal options, lead times will vary depending on project requirements and location. As we manage all element of each project from initial contact through specification to installation, we can provide an approximate lead time at point of enquiry.

How do I establish if my building structure can support your system?
We undertake a site survey supported by a full design support and system specific calculations that will establish this.

Where are your products manufactured?
Our products are manufactured and quality controlled to our specific standards in the UK and Europe.

How do I overcome wind load requirements?
We evaluate site specific wind load requirements as part of the design process. Where high wind loads are an issue, additional features (e.g. wind load straps) can be built in to the design. The ideal Flexiscreen seal types for wind load required projects are our our v-overlap and zip panel connection methods.

Does the system have to be battened to the floor?
No, we can provide a number of fixing options for your building screen and weather protection screen solution. We can discuss the best option as part of the order process.
