Industrial Fabrics Welding

Whether you’re constructing awnings, banners, truck tarps, pool covers, inflatables, tents, membrane structures, or any other project from industrial fabric, Leister fabric welding tools give you superior results. 

Done correctly, heat welding provides a bond that is as strong as the original material; secure enough for outdoor or high-strain installations, welds are clean and accurate enough to join banner pieces.

The main difference between a wedge and a hot air welder is the way in which heat is transferred to the material.

With a hot air welder, air is heated and then delivered between the two pieces of material via a hot air nozzle. ​
