Why Use Steel Guard?

Quality, American Made Industrial Curtains, and Vinyl Tarps

Steel Guard has a rich corporate history, dating back more than 100 years, setting the standard for quality and longevity of product, and evolving over the years to meet a variety of needs. Since 2005, Steel Guard has remained focused on revolutionizing industrial safety, helping to create improved safety barriers such as welding curtains and vinyl tarps.


Steel Guard Safety

Steel-Scrim Vinyl ― Available Only Through Steel Guard Safety

One of the World’s Strongest Vinyl

At Steel Guard Safety, we know you’re aware of industrial curtain walls, and we understand that your opinion of them may not be a favorable one. Some of the most common complaints we’ve heard regarding industrial curtains include:

 

  • They’re made of low-quality material
  • They break down too quickly
  • It’s unclear whether they are flame retardant, increasing the risk of a fine

However, we were determined to find a better solution for you. The head of our research and development team set out on a mission to find the best vinyl possible, investigating over 20 different suppliers and just as many varieties of vinyl.

 

After four months worth of exhaustive research and testing, we were still unable to find a vinyl with an adequate finish, scrim strength, or flame resistance ― so we decided to design our own, with a new design that would allow us to shatter the previous limits of vinyl strength and tenacity.

 

To achieve this, our engineering department created something completely unique. A trilateral (three-directional) polyester scrim design. Though odd-looking when compared to traditional vinyl patterns, our new design was cost-effective and, most importantly, boosted the tensile strength of the vinyl to over 406 pounds per square inch ― more than 84% stronger than a standard 9×9 denier 1000 row scrim! This is the strongest scrim we know of ― so strong that this 16-ounce vinyl out-performs standard 18-ounce, 22-ounce, and even 26-ounce vinyl! It’s stronger, more resilient, and meets fire code standards that other vinyl just can’t match.
