> Quick and clean installation Prefabricated panels ensure a quick and clean installation process which is essential for hygienic or busy production environments.
> Suspended Flexiwall is made up in manageable sized panels which are then joined together and suspended from roof steelwork and tensioned down to form a permanent partition. This removes the need for intermediate framework and ensures minimal loss of floorspace. Where possible, existing steelwork is utilized. We can add in extra support steelwork as required. Panels interlock using our dust tight overlap systems and PVC coated high tensile steel cables.
> Adaptable and relocatable Changing the factory layout is no problem! Panels can be removed or added should you wish to reconfigure the partition.
> Door options Any type of door can be incorporated as requested. See Page 12 for further details.
> A unique system Where most other partitioning systems rely on a floor mounted upward support structure, Flexiwall is unique in that it is a suspended system.
Typical applications > > > > > > > > >
Reduce heat or conditioned air loss Prevent cross-contamination Contain dust, odours and hazardous fumes Create visual barriers Create airlocks Stop ingress of insects and birds Segregate processes, stock, and working areas Divide off unused space for renting purposes Utilise your building space to the maximum
> Cross contamination Flexiwall was installed above this part-height steel partition to prevent cross-contamination between the production and storage areas in this materials handling machinery factory. We offer you a complete package with steel or PVC partitioning and industrial doors incorporated.
> Part-height division Flexiwall was used to divide the loading area from the main storage area in this home shopping warehouse to prevent diesel fume ingress. Flexiwall’s unique support structure allowed for part-height division to facilitate unhindered access.

Flexicurtain is an industrial draw-aside curtaining system – ideal for dividing large areas of a building where regular fully open access is required. > Custom-made Flexicurtain is tailor-made using reinforced, firerated PVC materials. Curved tracks are utilized to accommodate bends.
> Suspended Flexicurtain is made up in manageable sized panels which are then joined together and suspended from an industrial curtain track. The curtain can, if required, be fastened to the floor using ratchet straps incorporated in the design or have a weighted hem. Panels interlock using our dust tight overlap systems and PVC coated high tensile steel cables.
> Quick and clean installation The quick and clean installation process is ideal for hygienic or busy production environments.
> Self-installation kits Flexicurtain can be supplied as kits for self-installation.
Typical applications > > > > >
Contain heated or conditioned air Prevent cross-contamination Contain dust, odours and hazardous fumes Create visual barriers Control draughts
> Segregate process areas such as welding booths, paint spray shops or washdown areas > Divide large areas of a building where occasional, regular or full access is required > Utilise your building space to the maximum
> Vehicle wash-down bay Cleaning your client’s car after servicing has been proven to be one of the most effective customer satisfaction devices known. But everyone knows how difficult it is to achieve a satisfactory finish when MUD, GREASE, GRIME, SOAP etc, is splashed over the work area. Installing a Flexicurtain can put a stop to this, enabling you to do a great job keeping the rest of the work area clean and free from water.
> Food factory wash-down screens Flexicurtain divides these food processing lines to allow the areas to be cleaned separately without overspray or disruption to adjacent areas. It is ideally suited to critical hygiene areas with a range of easily cleanable, food safe materials and the corrosion resistant stainless steel track system. Different colour materials are available to match existing decoration. Clear PVC curtains or vision panels can be incorporated to enable light transmission and supervision.

> Safety shield screens Flexicurtain was used in this application to shield potential overspray from caustic chemicals. It can also be used to enclose hazardous processes such as grinding, where it can safely shield adjacent working areas from dust, fumes, sparks and flying objects. It also provides a measure of noise reduction.
> Cross-contamination screens This photograph shows a Flexicurtain segregating between grinding processes on a luxury yacht in for service, and a brand new vessel alongside. The curtains draw back allowing clear unrestricted access.
> Vehicle bodyshop curtains Is your bodyshop approved for aluminium or carbon fibre work? Flexicurtain provides a retractable work bay solution to prevent cross-contamination, comply with PAS 125 and manufacturers’ requirements.

Also use to contain grinding or sanding dust, assist fume extraction and prevent paint or water overspray. Open up your workshop potential with various configurations and material options.
> Aircraft spray booth Production was doubled when this aircraft hangar was divided. Flexicurtain provided an impermeable barrier to contain dust, fumes and other overspray contamination in this spray booth. A curved curtain track was utilised to make maximum use of the space.
> Ambient storage curtains This photograph shows a Flexicurtain in an insulated material, used to contain conditioned air in a cool room environment for the storage of a temperature sensitive product. The curtains can be drawn aside to allow clear unobstructed FLT access.
> Thermal dividers Drastically reduce heat loss and cut energy costs by confining heat to where it is needed. As a bonus, these areas will be heated properly and staff will be happier. This photograph shows a pelmet used to infill the void above the track.
> Welding booths Flexicurtain in a green weld screening material filters out harmful UV radiation and protects from welding flash. Curtains can be drawn back to allow unobstructed access when not in use.
> Weather barriers Flexicurtain was used in this loading canopy to keep out the wind and the rain. Vision panels can be incorporated to allow vision through.
> Acoustic curtains Reduce noise levels within your workplace with strategically placed Flexicurtain sound attenuating curtains. Westgate offer a number of sound control solutions. Contact us for more details.
> Any height or length – motorised options This 25m high aircraft hangar was divided with a Flexicurtain to create separated work bays. An electrically operated curved curtain track was utilised to make maximum use of the space. A translucent material was specified to allow light transmission.

This removes the need for intermediate framework, minimising floorspace loss. We can add in extra support steelwork as required. Panels interlock using our dust tight overlap systems and PVC coated high tensile steel cables.
> Adaptable and relocatable The adaptability of the system means it can be easily removed and relocated as requirements change or work proceeds. The whole screen is made up of individual panels, which means that should a section become irreparably damaged, only the panels affected need to be replaced. Panels can be removed or added should you wish to expand the partition.
> Access options A variety of industrial doors and curtains can be incorporated to allow for access through the screen. See page 29 for details.
Flexiscreen is made up of tough, flexible, lightweight and firerated material panels, which are suspended from existing steelwork and tensioned down.
Typical applications > Internal building screens Flexiscreen encloses an area for a new production line fit-out in a car factory. Hung from the lower roof trusses, the Flexiscreen allowed production to continue in the rest of the building.
> Temporary external walls Flexiscreen was used as a temporary external wall to allow internal works to proceed while this warehouse building was being extended.
> BENEFITS FOR YOU... > any height or length > protect personnel and property from building works or the elements > ensure uninterrupted production > cleanable, hygienic materials > prevent contamination of products or processes > designed to withstand potential wind-loading > dust-tight seal > looks better than polythene or scaffold sheeting > uses minimal floor space > no extra framing required

> Building screen in a warehouse In a fast track new build for a major clothing retailer, the contractor were scheduled to hand over one half of the warehouse before completion of the other half. The client wanted a dust free environment to begin the internal fit-out so a Flexiscreen was required. However, the wind loadings on an 18m high building were potentially very high. Westgate designed a screen with provision for excess wind loadings and the quarter of a mile screen was installed in 3 weeks, well on schedule.
> Building screen in a food factory Flexiscreen was used to screen off this food packaging area whilst building works were proceeding in the adjacent area. Installation and dismantling is quick and clean – essential for critical hygiene areas.
> Flexitunnel Flexitunnel provided a clean, dust-free walkway, designed to allow staff to pass through a refurbishment area between the offices and the production facility of a pharmaceutical company.
01785 242 171
sales@westgatefactorydividers.co.uk
It was made up with a composite pole structure enclosed with translucent reinforced Flexiscreen material panels connected together. A weighted hem was incorporated on the bottom edge to provide a dust seal.
> Clip-on Flexiscreens The builders of this warehouse wanted to proceed with the floor concreting before the line of loading bay doorways were completed. Westgate provided the solution for keeping the weather out during this process by installing ‘Clip-on Flexiscreens’. The screens were simply hooked onto existing steelwork and tensioned using ratchets and straps incorporated in the design. This made them quick and easy to take down, move along and re-use as work progressed.
> Temporary external wall Flexiscreen was installed as a temporary external wall whilst this building was being extended. The quick, clean erection and dismantling process was essential to ensure a dust-free environment to maintain continuity of production.
System design > Fixing clips
> Panels
Fixing clips are fitted to the roof steelwork. Hooks are then attached to the clips from which the panels are suspended.
Panels over-lock using our dust-tight overlap systems and PVC coated high tensile steel cables.
> Straps and rachets
> Bespoke fitting
Additional straps and ratchets may be incorporated to withstand potentially high wind loadings.
Fit around obstructions such as service pipes or support steelwork.

> Quick, clean installation The quick and clean installation process is ideal for hygienic or busy production environments. Can be supplied as a kit for self installation.
> Reconfigurable The whole screen is made up of individual panels, which means it can be easily removed and reconfigured as requirements change. Support mullions can be freestanding or bolted down.
> Lower your carbon footprint The infill section of Hoardfast panels is manufactured from recycled PVC. Panels can be reused or recycled when the product is no longer required, minimising waste to ensure the Hoardfast system meets the highest standards of sustainability.
Hoardfast is an ideal solution for low-level internal segregation for both temporary and permanent applications.
Typical applications > Temporary screening Hoardfast is primarily designed as a fastfit, hygienic modular screening system. Suitable for part-height or floor-to-ceiling type applications, Hoardfast can be supported by a range of free-standing mullions removing the need for drilling or fixing to the floor.
> Permanent partitioning Hoardfast was used in this factory as an economical alternative to steel partitioning. Panels click together with a tongue and groove fixture. Installation is exceptionally fast and clean ensuring minimal disruption to production.

Typical applications > Food factories This bakery fit-out project required a full-height, dust-tight screen. Hoardfast 2.25m high provided a rigid base able to withstand day-to-day knocks from pedestrian impact. Flexiscreen above was able to be fitted around a mass of obstructions such as service pipes and ducting.
> Airports As part of an extension program in this airport building, Hoarding was used to provide a rigid, robust temporary screen in this public area. Free-standing support mullions were used, removing the need for fixing to the floor. Westgate’s Flexiscreen was set behind the screen to provide a temporary external wall.
