1.8m High EnviroProtect® SR1 (A1) LPS 1175 Vertical Bar Railing Kit

EnviroProtect® SR1 (A1) LPS 1175 1.8m High Vertical Bar Railing Kit

First Fence proudly offers the EnviroProtect® SR1 (A1) LPS 1175 1.8m High Vertical Bar Railing Kit, a security fencing solution expertly engineered to deliver dependable perimeter protection with excellent durability and aesthetic appeal. Designed specifically for sites where moderate height security is required, this kit offers the perfect balance between physical security and visibility.

Understanding A1 (SR1) Rated Security Railing

This fencing system holds the coveted LPS 1175 SR1 (A1) certification, meaning it meets stringent security standards for resisting forced entry. It is rigorously tested to withstand at least one minute of attack with Category A hand tools, such as cable cutters, pliers, screwdrivers, and small wrenches, which are commonly used in opportunistic break-in attempts. This one-minute delay is vital in security terms, allowing time for on-site security or emergency services to intervene before an intruder breaches the perimeter.

The SR1 (A1) rating is an industry-recognised benchmark for fences intended to protect low to medium risk sites, including commercial properties, warehouses, and public facilities. It demonstrates that this fencing kit delivers more than just a physical barrier; it provides a meaningful delay against unauthorised access attempts.

Innovative Low-to-No Weld Construction

A key feature of the EnviroProtect® railing system is its innovative low-to-no weld design. Unlike traditional welded railings, where every joint is fused, EnviroProtect® utilises precision engineering to reduce welding points significantly, favouring mechanical fixings and secure clamping methods. This approach has several advantages:

• Improved Structural Integrity: Reducing weld points minimises stress concentrations, which can weaken fencing under impact or prolonged strain.
• Enhanced Corrosion Resistance: Welding can sometimes introduce weak spots where corrosion initiates. A low-weld design reduces these risk areas, prolonging the life of the fencing.
• Streamlined Manufacturing: Fewer welds mean a more consistent finish and reduced production times, allowing First Fence to maintain high-quality standards while offering cost-effective fencing solutions.

Technical Specifications and Design

The 1.8m high EnviroProtect® kit features panels measuring 2900mm in width, with a total panel width of 2960mm accounting for posts and fixings. The vertical bars, made from 25.4mm thick tubular steel, are spaced at 100mm centres, creating a robust yet visually permeable barrier. This vertical bar style is ideal for deterring climbing and forced entry attempts without obstructing sight lines for CCTV or security patrols.

The fencing is manufactured from pre-galvanised steel and complies with BS EN 10346 standards, offering excellent resistance against rust and corrosion, vital for outdoor installations exposed to varying weather conditions. The 1.8m height strikes a practical balance, serving as a physical deterrent while maintaining an open and professional appearance.

Flexible Installation Options

EnviroProtect® railing kits are designed for adaptability across different site conditions, supporting both bolt-down and dig-in installation methods. Bolt-down fixings are ideal for hard surfaces such as concrete, using supplied ground anchors to secure the posts firmly. Dig-in posts, concreted into softer ground, provide enhanced stability for unpaved areas.

This flexibility ensures the system is suitable for diverse environments, from urban commercial sites to rural facilities, allowing installation with minimal disruption.

Benefits and Applications

The 1.8m EnviroProtect® SR1 (A1) railing kit is well-suited for a range of uses where security and visibility are equally important. Typical applications include:

• Commercial and retail parks
• Educational campuses
• Public buildings and facilities
• Industrial estates with moderate security needs

The combination of the low-weld design and LPS 1175 certification makes this fencing not only secure but also cost-effective and long-lasting.
