AIR WAVE
Protection, airflow and visibility
The AIR WAVE perforated and punched is one of our most highly desired and affordable products. Designed very similar to our CLEAR WAVE, the AIR WAVE uses the same hinge and hangar technology to insure top quality in relation to industry standards.
AIR WAVE Perforated - small circular punched holes are made in a painted steel sheet to grant air and light circulation.
AIR WAVE Slotted – 6mm x 32mm punched oblong slots in even horizontal columns.
Both designs expose the secure area visually while providing a rigid physical barrier.
