Each of the four systems below is a complete, modular product set designed for a specific application, built to your spec, fully matched and priced as one. Pick the one that fits your project.
ALUMINIUM CHANNEL · WIND RESISTANT · INDOOR/OUTDOOR
A balustrade system built specifically to reduce wind exposure on elevated or coastal outdoor spaces, without blocking the view or the light. Glass or solid panel infill within a stainless post frame, sized and positioned to act as a wind break where it’s needed most.
MALLEABLE IRON · NO WELDING · FAST ASSEMBLY
Malleable iron fittings clamped onto standard stainless or galvanised tube, assembled on site with a hex key, no welding, no specialist trades. A modular railing system that goes up quickly and can be reconfigured just as easily. Available in hot-dip galvanised, powder coat or bare finish. Tested and suitable for use across a wide range of commercial and industrial applications.
SOLID PANEL · STAINLESS OR MILD STEEL · BESPOKE SIZING
Solid or semi-solid stainless screen panels within a post frame, designed to provide a physical barrier where open infill won’t do the job. Used on commercial rooftops to screen plant and equipment, in industrial settings to guard machinery, and in public buildings where a solid barrier is a safety or planning requirement. Bespoke panel sizing available to suit non-standard openings.
PERFORATED STEEL · SEMI-OPAQUE · POWDER COAT FINISH
Stainless or mild steel panels with a punched perforation pattern, set within SWR’s standard modular post frame. Semi-opaque, offering more privacy and wind resistance than wire, more light and air than a solid panel. Perforation patterns available in a range of open areas depending on the level of screening required. Powder coat finish available across the full RAL range.

Yes. The system is versatile enough to function as a room partition as well as an exterior wind protection system — its slim-line, elegant design makes it suitable for interior commercial and domestic applications. Glass height and finish can be specified to suit the interior design requirements of the space.
The system uses toughened, and toughened and laminated safety glass. Laminated glass is the correct specification for wind shield applications as it remains in place if broken, unlike single-pane toughened glass.
Available in stainless steel satin finish. It’s smart, elegant, and aesthetically pleasing as well as being a low maintenance solution.
