Vertical Bar Infill

Robust, hard-wearing and quietly architectural, our Vertical Bar Infill system is a brilliant alternative to wire and glass systems with solid stainless steel bars to create a clean, contemporary finish. Manufactured from premium AISI304 or AISI316 stainless steel, it’s available with a satin finish and requires virtually no maintenance once installed. Ideal for balconies, staircases, terraces and landings where a strong, rigid infill is preferred.
