Industrial Curtains, Fumigation Tarps and Equipment Covers

LJ Covers manufactures industrial curtains, fumigation tarps, machine and equipment covers, and containment textiles for manufacturing plants, warehouses and distribution centres across Queensland and interstate.

Most sites end up making do. A curtain that is close enough for the opening but leaves a gap at the top. A machine cover draped over rather than fitted, snagging on a control panel every time it comes off. A near-fit does not just look untidy — it lets dust through into the clean side of the floor, wears through faster where it rubs, and gets pulled down and left off within a month.

We measure the actual opening or machine, work around the racking, beams, control panels and access points already in place, and specify the fabric against what the space has to deal with — dust, fumes, washdown, temperature separation, hot work, static, noise or food-contact requirements. If the specification calls for a material we do not hold, we source it and supply the manufacturer’s technical data sheet and test certification with the finished item.

Fabric specification and sourcing

We are a manufacturer, not a fabric mill and not a certifier. What we bring is specification judgement and supply access — knowing which construction suits the environment, sourcing it from a supplier who can certify it, and manufacturing it correctly. Where your specification or your auditor nominates a material, we work to it. Where it doesn’t, we recommend against the conditions and supply the data to back the recommendation.

What We Make For Manufacturing and Warehouse Sites

Industrial and Containment curtains

Containment curtains separate work areas, control dust and airflow, and section off zones within a warehouse or manufacturing floor without the cost or permanence of a full wall. They’re common in facilities where one process generates dust, fumes, or noise that needs to stay away from another part of the operation, or where temperature-controlled zones need to hold their conditions.

We fabricate curtains to the actual opening, working around existing racking, machinery, and structural beams rather than asking you to reconfigure the space to suit a standard size. Fixings and track systems are chosen based on how often the curtain needs to open and close, a curtain that’s opened fifty times a day needs different hardware to one that stays shut for weeks at a time.

Material follows the job. Clear PVC where the floor needs sightlines through the barrier. Insulated construction where the curtain is holding a temperature differential rather than just a dust line. Anti-static where powders or fine dust are handled. Food-contact and washdown-rated material where the curtain sits inside a processing area. We specify against the environment and tell you why, rather than quoting one fabric for every opening.

Fumigation Tarps

Fumigation covers seal a space or a stack of goods during pest or material treatment, keeping the fumigant contained where it’s needed and out of areas it shouldn’t reach. Whether it’s a one-off treatment for an incoming shipment or a recurring part of your site’s pest management, the cover needs to seal properly or the treatment doesn’t do its job.

We make these to fit the actual load or space being treated, whether that’s palletised stock, a full container, or a section of warehouse floor. Getting the seal right matters more here than in most other covers we make, since a gap in a fumigation cover can mean the treatment has to be redone.

Fumigation tarps are made from low-permeability material chosen to hold the fumigant for the full treatment period, with the seams and sealing detail built to match. We fabricate to the actual load or space being treated — palletised stock, a full container, or a marked section of floor — and can produce repeat sizes as a set where the same load configuration comes through regularly.

Machine and Equipment covers

Machinery that sits idle between shifts, between jobs, or in storage picks up dust, moisture, and general wear even when it’s not running. A custom equipment cover protects it properly, fitted to the actual shape of the machine rather than draped over loosely and hoping for the best.

We build covers around the specific equipment, working with access points, control panels, and moving parts that need to stay clear or accessible even with the cover on. If your site has multiple machines that need covering, we can work through them as a batch so everything’s consistent.

For equipment standing idle over a shutdown, a breathable construction usually beats a fully waterproof one — an impermeable cover over warm machinery traps condensation against the surface it is meant to protect. We specify breathable where the machine needs to dry and impermeable where it needs sealing, and say which we are recommending and why. Covers are made around the actual machine, keeping control panels, isolation points and access hatches clear.

Welding Screens and Hot Work Curtains

Welding bays, grinding stations and hot work areas need a screen that blocks arc flash and spatter without shutting the area off entirely. We manufacture screens and curtains from fire-retardant material and welding-grade tinted PVC, made to the bay rather than bought in a standard panel size, with the track and fixing chosen for how often the screen is moved.

These are work screens made from certified fire-retardant fabric. They are not fire-rated building elements and we do not supply smoke curtains or fire compartmentation.

Loading Dock Screens and Weather Curtains

Dock openings are where the weather, the dust and the birds get in. Drop curtains and dock screens close the gap between the building and the vehicle, keeping rain off the goods during loading and holding conditioned air inside. We make them from reinforced material rated for the wind loading at the opening and set them up to be raised, dropped or drawn depending on how the dock is worked.

Rack, Stack and Pallet Covers

Stock stored in an open-sided building, in a yard, or under a leaking section of roof needs covering without being wrapped and re-wrapped every time it is accessed. We make fitted rack and stack covers to your pallet or racking dimensions, in repeat runs where the configuration is consistent, so covering and uncovering is a two-minute job rather than a roll of plastic and a knife.

Repairs and Alterations

We repair and alter industrial curtains, tarps and covers regardless of who made them. A torn curtain, a failed seam, a cover that needs resizing after a machine change or a new track — all of it is cheaper to fix than replace, and we will tell you honestly when it isn’t worth repairing.

How we work

• We consult on site. We attend and measure the actual opening, machine or space — including the racking, beams, control panels and services already in the way.
• We specify the material. Against the real conditions: dust, fumes, washdown, temperature separation, hot work, static or food contact.
• We manufacture in Redland Bay. Cut and made in our own facility, not ordered in and re-badged.
• We supply it ready to install. With the track, fixings, hanging detail and any handling instructions your crew or maintenance contractor needs. Installation and on-site delivery can also be arranged by LJ Covers.

If your site needs ongoing cover maintenance or periodic replacement as part of a larger operation, we can talk through a standing arrangement rather than treating every job as a one-off.

Working With Us

Manufacturing

All fabrication is carried out at our Redland Bay facility. Typical lead time from confirmed measurement is based on requirement, with breakdown and shutdown work prioritised where the window is tight.

On-site Consultation

We can attend site to measure and confirm the specification before anything is cut. On a working floor this matters more than it sounds — openings are rarely square, racking has usually moved since the drawing was made, and the clearances that matter are the ones nobody wrote down.

Site attendance is covered by public liability of $20 Million and workers compensation.

Installation

We manufacture and supply. Installation is carried out by LJ Covers, your maintenance team or your nominated contractor, and we can supply the track, fixings and hanging detail so it goes up correctly.

Packing and Transport

Large-format curtains and covers are damaged more often in transit than in service. We build custom pallets and crating to suit each item, with the fold pattern and packing method set so the material arrives without abrasion or coating damage, and can be handled with the equipment on your dock.
