Temporary screening systems
Our engineered temporary screening provides weather protection for open buildings and dust containment around active works. It segregates live operational areas from construction so projects stay on schedule and momentum is protected.
From mission critical and data centres builds to occupied manufacturing facilities, every one of our temporary screens is made to measure and installed by our specialist teams.
Benefits to our screening solutions
Our proven screening solutions offer unrivalled protection against weather and dust spread, keeping programmes on schedule and live environments operational.
Effective weather protection
Shield open buildings from wind and rain with a tensioned weather screen engineered to site-specific wind loads, so internal works can start before the envelope is complete.
Achieve ISO 7 cleanroom standard
Our temporary screens achieve an over 99% air and dust tight seal, creating ISO 7 cleanroom areas next to active works. Find out more about our contamination control solutions.
Guaranteed dust containment
Screening stops dust and debris spreading into nearby areas, allowing phased works to continue safely alongside live operations.
Customise to any height or width
Temporary screens for construction can be installed at any height and length, subject to survey, making them ideal for tall industrial buildings and large construction sites.
Requires minimal floor space
Suspended from the existing structure, our screening systems need no supporting framework and fits tight spaces around equipment, ducts and steelwork.
Reusable and Relocatable
Temporary screens can be adapted, reconfigured and relocated as your programme changes, delivering value at every stage of the project.

Screening FAQs
We have answered the questions customers ask most often about our temporary screening. Have another query? Contact us and we will be happy to help.
Weather protection during construction can be achieved with engineered screening systems, traditional scaffold sheeting or shrink wrap. Sheeting and shrink wrap can suit shorter projects where a fully sealed environment is not essential. For live operational environments that must stay completely dry, Flexiscreen provides a tensioned system engineered to site-specific wind loads. It delivers a durable, puncture-resistant seal that stays effective for the full duration of the work.
Polythene sheeting and adjustable props are a quick option for small, short-term jobs. They rarely achieve a full seal at ceiling level or around services and can tear or loosen on busy sites. Engineered screens hang from the building structure and seal tightly around ducts, pipes and steelwork. The result is an over 99% air and dust tight seal that can be reused across project phases.
Lead times depend on the type of Flexiscreen system required. Certain standard internal and external temporary screens can be supplied within 1 to 2 weeks. More engineered or project-specific systems typically take 4 to 6 weeks from confirmed order to installation starting on site. Our team will confirm an accurate programme based on your site conditions and specification.
Construction screening seals a building against weather and dust before the external envelope is complete. Internal works such as concrete pours, M&E installation and fit-out can then run alongside cladding works. Removing weather delays in this way can significantly shorten overall build times. Find out more about our approach to project delay prevention.
Our screening systems are widely used to segregate work areas in live manufacturing and warehouse environments during equipment installation, flooring and extension works. Antibacterial materials are available for high care facilities. Where a longer-term division is needed, our industrial partitioning range offers relocatable walls and curtains.
Temporary screening is typically required to meet reaction to fire classifications rather than full fire compartment ratings. Our screening fabrics are available with EN 13501-1 classifications, which are suitable for construction and live sites. Requirements can vary with the site fire strategy, principal contractor guidance or insurer conditions. Our team will confirm the right specification for your project.
