Technical Specifications

Here’s a breakdown of the SR2 Security Mesh, including all essential details, specifications, and pros and cons.

Key Specifications of SR2 Security Mesh

Security Rating: SR2, meaning it is tested and certified to withstand prolonged, deliberate attack for a certain period.
Material: Typically made from heavy-duty steel or similar robust materials for durability and security.
Mesh Size and Thickness: Often with a small aperture (usually around 76.2 x 12.7mm or similar) to prevent objects and fingers from getting through; mesh wire thickness generally ranges from 4mm to 8mm, depending on specific needs.
Anti-Cut and Anti-Climb Design: The dense mesh pattern makes it difficult to cut or climb, increasing its effectiveness in high-risk areas.

Finish: Often hot-dip galvanised or powder-coated to prevent rust and corrosion, especially useful for outdoor environments.
Height Options: Usually available in a variety of heights (2m to 3m or more), allowing for customisation based on security needs.
Compliance Standards: Complies with CPNI (Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure) and LPCB (Loss Prevention Certification Board) standards, ensuring reliable performance in demanding applications.
Maintenance: Low-maintenance due to high-quality coatings, which protect against environmental wear and tear.

Pros and Cons of SR2 Security Mesh

Pros

High Security: With its SR2 rating, this mesh is well-suited for applications requiring enhanced security. It provides an effective barrier against forced entry, making it a good choice for sensitive or high-risk environments.
Durability: Constructed from robust materials and designed to withstand the elements, SR2 mesh is built to last. Its coating options offer added resilience against rust and corrosion.
Anti-Climb Features: The dense mesh structure makes it difficult to gain a foothold, preventing climbing attempts. This design feature is crucial for areas where unauthorised access needs to be strictly controlled.
Customisable Heights and Finishes: Available in various heights and finishes, the mesh can be tailored to specific needs, whether aesthetic or functional.
Cost-Effective Over Time: Although the initial investment may be higher, its durability and low maintenance needs make SR2 mesh a cost-effective option in the long run.
CPNI and LPCB Approved: Being certified by reputable security bodies adds to the product’s reliability and trustworthiness.

Cons

Higher Initial Cost: Due to the high-quality materials and SR2 certification, SR2 Security Mesh can be more expensive upfront compared to basic security fencing.
Limited Flexibility: The rigid structure is excellent for security but may not be as adaptable in certain landscape applications where flexibility is needed.
Heavy and Difficult to Install: Due to its weight and structure, professional installation is recommended, which adds to the installation cost.
Aesthetic Limitations: Although it’s available in multiple finishes, some people may find the mesh’s appearance industrial or imposing, which could be a drawback in residential areas where visual appeal is important.
Potential Over-Security for Certain Applications: SR2 may be overkill for low-risk areas. The cost and level of security may not be justified for applications that don’t have stringent security requirements.

Q. How long does SR2 Mesh last?

With proper installation and maintenance, it can last 20+ years, thanks to its durable materials and corrosion-resistant finishes.

Q. Is SR2 Mesh suitable for residential properties?

While it can be used for residential purposes, it is often over-specified for typical home security needs and better suited for commercial or high-risk properties.

Q. What is the SR2 Security Rating?

The SR2 rating certifies that a security product can withstand a certain level of forced attack, specifically against common tools such as pliers, crowbars, and hammers. It is a trusted standard in the security industry for areas requiring higher levels of protection.

Q. Who Should Use SR2 Security Mesh?

SR2 mesh is ideal for areas that need a strong, tamper-resistant barrier, including industrial sites, government buildings, airports, data centres, and utility stations. It’s also used in high-security residential areas for added peace of mind.

Q. How Long Will SR2 Security Mesh Last?

With proper maintenance, SR2 Security Mesh can last 15-20 years or more. The hot-dip galvanisation and powder coating make it especially resistant to rust and environmental wear, increasing its lifespan even in harsh outdoor conditions.

Q. Is SR2 Security Mesh Anti-Climb?

Yes, SR2 mesh has an anti-climb design with small apertures, making it challenging for intruders to gain a foothold or insert cutting tools.
