Fabric Shield
Galebreaker Industrial Heat Shields are lightweight and flexible with a range of fixing techniques available.
Key Features
- Silver-grey Vamac® coated polyester base cloth
- Excellent UV and abrasion resistance
- Proven efficiency: protection against radiated heat up to 10 kW/m2 or 180ºC
- Temperature range -30°C to + 180°C
- Radiated heat from the cool face of the Heat Shield at 180ºC raises temperature by 4ºC at 0.1m distance and 2ºC at 1m distance
- Extends maximum exposure time to 60 minutes
- Lightweight and very durable: total weight including fixings 2.5 kg/m2
- Approx. 950g/m2 weight of material
- Designed to withstand wind speeds up to 53m/s or 120 mph
- Shields can be rolled into bales for easy handling, shipping and storage
Fixings and Safety
The Galebreaker Industrial Fabric Heat Shield requires a minimal support structure (fixing to client built subframe adds typically 10.8 kg/m2 in total for the subframe, material and fittings).
The patented fastening system means it is quick and easy to fit and tension.
All fixings are stainless steel marine grade (316 standard) or galvanised and protective wraps and safety wires are also installed as necessary.
Single skin in construction, the PVC coated polyester fabric shield features a patented built in tensioning system which means it is quick and easy to fit and tension.

- Wind, rain and dirt resistant
- Excellent UV resistance
- Proven efficiency: can reduce wind speed by up to 75%
- Charcoal grey colour polyester material with PVC coating
- Fire resistant classification B-s2,d0 to EN 13501-1
- Lightweight,strong and very durable: 1.25 kg/m2 total weight including fixings
- Approx. 380 g/m2 weight of material
- Caters for temperature range -30 °C to +70 °C. Max. temperature protection 70 °C
- Designed to withstand wind speeds: standard 90 mph, maximum 120 mph (53 m/s)
- Shields can be rolled into bales for easy handling, shipping and storage.
Fixings and Safety
The Galebreaker Industrial Fabric Wind Shield requires a sub-frame support structure (fixing to client built subframe adds typically 7.6 kg/m² in total for the subframe, material and fittings).
All fixings are stainless steel marine grade (316 standard) or galvanised and protective wraps and safety wires are also installed as necessary.
Single skin in construction, the PVC coated Polyester fabric shield features a patented built in tensioning system which means it is quick and easy to fit and tension.

Projects using the Fabric Shield
Corrugated Shield
The Locker Corrugated Wind Shield is used as a permanent solution for the protection of both personnel and equipment from the harsh weather conditions experienced both onshore and offshore in the Oil and Gas Industry.
With an open area of 32%, the corrugated shield reduces radiant heat by over 80% behind the heat shield.
Manufactured from perforated 316L Stainless Steel, the heat shield panel is available in both single and double layer constructions, which can be used for a wide range of applications.
It is predominantly used where large repetition of panel sizes is required, and offers numerous connection options.
Whilst providing excellent protection against the effects of radiant heat, the heat shield also acts as an extremely effective wind shield barrier.
Key Features
- Heat flux reduction in excess of 80% at 300mm
- All Stainless Steel Type 316L construction
- Able to span large distances up to 4.5m between supporting steelwork
- Wind speed reduction of 75%
- Successfully load tested to wind speeds in excess of 140mph
- Excellent light transmission and ventilation
- Quick on-site installation and removal
- Supplied complete with all necessary A4 Stainless Steel fasteners and isolation materials
- Also ideal for permanent wind and weather protection.

Manufactured from perforated 316L Stainless Steel, the Wind Shield panel is a single layer construction which can reduce the wind speed across the shield by in excess of 75%, without affecting light transmission and ventilation.
Key Features
- Wind speed reduction of 75%
- Load tested to represent wind speeds in excess of 140mph
- Able to span large distances between supporting steelwork
- All Stainless Steel type 316L construction
- Ideal for permanent wind and weather protection
- Excellent light transmission and ventilation
- Also reduces radiant heat from offshore flares by more than 80%
- Quick on-site installation and removal.
