Industrial Fixed Screens are a versatile range of heavy-duty mesh and fabric screen solutions designed to improve environmental control in industrial settings. Security Direct offers these fixed screens as a unified solution that covers everything from permanent ventilation panels and debris filter screens to cold-weather cladding and internal mesh partitions. All Industrial Fixed Screens are custom-made to fit your facility’s openings or structures, providing robust weather protection for external areas while still allowing airflow and light transmission. Constructed from high-strength technical fabrics (PVC-coated polyester) that are flame-retardant, rot-proof, and tear-resistant, these screens are built for demanding industrial use. Whether used as an external barrier or an internal partition, our fixed screens help shield your operations from the elements, contain debris, and create efficient work zones – all under one convenient product category.
Industrial Fixed Screens act as “windbreaker” walls that shield indoor areas from rain, wind, and harsh weather while still letting fresh air circulate. By installing a mesh screen over open bays or vents, you get passive ventilation and weather protection in one solution. Tests have shown that a mesh screen can provide up to 65% more air inlet area than the equivalent opening with solid cladding, dramatically improving ventilation without drafts. In moderate rain, the mesh stops the worst of the weather – only a fine mist may penetrate briefly, which quickly evaporates, so your interior stays dry and operational. This makes fixed screens ideal for naturally ventilating warehouses or industrial sheds without exposing them to the elements.
Our fixed screens double as high-performance debris filters, trapping airborne rubbish, leaves, and even insects or birds before they enter your facility or equipment. The tough mesh fabric is designed to stop airborne contamination and debris that would otherwise foul machinery or dirty your workspace. For example, installing screens on cooling tower or air intake openings prevents clogging of internal heat exchangers and reduces debris buildup, which in turn improves airflow and cooling performance of your HVAC equipment. In waste processing or recycling plants, perimeter wind screens with selected porosity can contain trash and dust on-site, keeping the yard cleaner and preventing wind-blown debris from escaping. By acting as a physical barrier, Industrial Fixed Screens also deter birds and pests from entering through open loading bays or ventilators, contributing to a cleaner, more secure environment.
Fixed screens can significantly enhance energy efficiency by serving as temporary cladding or insulation barriers during cold weather. By blocking cold winds and retaining warmth, they help maintain interior temperatures and reduce heat loss from large openings. In fact, winterisation screens are commonly used on cooling equipment to maintain heat and prevent ice build-up, avoiding structural damage in freezing conditions. Our screens are made from insulating PVC fabrics (available in solid or translucent options) that minimise drafts while still allowing light, so you can curtain off dock doors or roof vents in winter to save on heating costs. With proper fitting, these screens can withstand wind loads up to 120 mph, ensuring they stay intact during stormy weather. The result is a more stable climate inside your facility, improved worker comfort, and lower energy bills in winter months – all without constructing permanent walls.
Industrial Fixed Screens are not just for exteriors – they also excel at internal partitioning and dust control. Inside large buildings, flexible screen walls can create temporary or permanent segregated zones to suit your operational needs. This is ideal for dividing production areas, isolating sensitive processes, or sectioning off storage and warehouse zones without building solid walls. The mesh or fabric partitions help prevent cross-contamination between areas (e.g. separating a sanding or spraying area to contain dust and fumes). They also aid in climate control by blocking drafts or containing conditioned air where needed. Unlike rigid constructions, these screens can be reconfigured or removed as your layout changes. And because the mesh material allows air circulation and light, you maintain visibility and ventilation between zones – crucial for safety and comfort. In short, Industrial Fixed Screens offer a fast, cost-effective way to partition spaces, improve hygiene, and enhance safety in factories and warehouses.
All our fixed screen solutions are built for longevity and low maintenance in tough industrial environments. The screen material is a premium PVC-coated polyester mesh or solid fabric with high tensile strength, engineered to resist tearing, fraying, UV exposure and rot. This heavy-duty construction means the screens won’t rust or degrade even with prolonged outdoor use or exposure to chemicals. Galvanised or stainless-steel hardware (tension ratchets, clips and brackets) is used to mount the screens, ensuring the system remains secure and corrosion-free over time. The durable materials and lack of moving parts translate to minimal upkeep – an occasional power-wash is enough to remove dust or grime, unlike traditional cladding or doors that might require painting or frequent repairs. Our confidence in these products is backed by industry experience; for instance, the original designs (such as Galebreaker’s Spanscreen) carry warranties of up to 10 years, highlighting their proven reliability. When you invest in Security Direct’s Industrial Fixed Screens, you get a solution that stands up to daily wear and extreme weather for years to come, delivering long-term value for your business.
Industrial Fixed Screens are used across a wide range of sectors and facilities to solve environmental and operational challenges:
Cover open warehouse doorways or side vents with mesh screens to allow ventilation while keeping out weather and pests. Use internal screens to divide production lines or create contained work cells (e.g. welding, painting or packaging areas) without permanent walls. The result is better airflow management and a more comfortable, controlled environment on the shop floor.
Install fixed screens on loading dock openings, shipping bays, or large vehicle doorways that are left open for extended periods. The screens act as giant insect screens and weather shields, so you can have the dock doors up for ventilation or ongoing loading operations without inviting in birds, bugs, leaves, or rain. They are ideal for dock shelters and can be quickly unclipped when you need full truck access, then reattached to resume protection.
Power stations, industrial boilers, and HVAC systems benefit greatly from mesh screening solutions. Cooling towers and air-cooled condensers can be fitted with debris filter screens to stop leaves, plastic bags, and other airborne debris from clogging intake fins. In colder climates, fixed winterisation panels attach around air coolers or exchangers to reduce wind chill and retain heat, preventing frost damage and improving thermal efficiency. Even data centers and energy facilities use these screens to protect critical equipment and maintain stable operating temperatures year-round.
Outdoor waste treatment plants, recycling centers, and landfill sites often struggle with wind-blown debris and dust. Perimeter windbreak screens with the right mesh can significantly cut down litter scatter and dust propagation beyond the site boundary. Fixed screens can also be used inside waste processing halls to partition smelly or hazardous processes from other areas. They create a safer, cleaner work environment by containing debris and chaff, while still permitting airflow to disperse odours. These tough screens handle the corrosive, dirty conditions of waste facilities much better than improvised tarps or netting, offering a more professional long-term solution.
