BARRIER WAVE
Maximum security protection
The BARRIER WAVE provides maximum-security protection along with absolute visual privacy. Full height aluminium panels together with heavy gauge dedicated extrusions, make the BARRIER WAVE a formidable barrier against theft and vandalism as well as preying eyes.
The BARRIER WAVE is also suitable for a myriad of applications where restricted airflow is required and some acoustic separation is desired. This product is ideal for a wide variety of settings, anywhere from banks to bars.
Unlike some of our open concept sliding grilles, the BARRIER WAVE eliminates the temptation of theft by removing the visual enticement.
