Razor Wire protects property
Razor Wire is a type of security fencing most often used as commercial Fencing. In many ways “the new barbed wire”. It’s a great way of keeping people out of your property and is favoured in Industrial applications. Razor wire has a central strand of high tensile strength wire, and steel tape punched into a shape with barbs which are difficult to climb over and serve as a great deterrent to thieves.
Will Razor Wire protect my property?
We have to be honest and say, yes and no… Metal mesh fences typically installed with razor wire are effective at deterring trespassers. However, there have also been reports of people breaching razor wire fences without serious consequences. Thieves who really want to get into a property may well be determined enough to bravely tackle the razor wire.
When issued in conjunction with other security measures such as strong gates and locks, CC TV, Security paint or other security measures, Razor wire creates a great deterrent.
Is Razor Wire the same as Barbed Wire?
The most obvious difference between razor wire and barbed wire is the difference in their design. Barbed wire has far fewer sharp points than razor wire, which means that people or animals are much less likely to sustain serious injuries if they try to cross the fence. This is why Barbed wire tends to be favoured by farmers, whereas those seeking to protect buildings machinery or vehicles tend to choose razor wire as a stronger deterrent.
Is Razor Wire legal in the UK?
When installed correctly, razor wire is legal in the UK, we advise that the razor wire is installed at over 1.8 metres in height (6ft) and is accompanied by clear and appropriate signage.
