A great alternative to glazing. Perforated balustrade panels provide a distinctive visual appeal. Produced in aluminium, mild steel or stainless steel, in almost any perforation pattern or design, and compatible with a wide range of post frameworks. A bespoke product by nature, with almost any design possible.
Perforated panels are supplied as bespoke fabricated components — cut to your panel dimensions, in your chosen material, pattern and finish. Compatible with SWR’s modular post framework and most standard post systems.
Bespoke perforated panels produced to your exact dimensions. Long-lasting and durable — suited to both interior and exterior applications. Compatible with a variety of frameworks including SWR’s standard modular post system.
Aluminium — lightweight and corrosion resistant, ideal for exterior applications. Mild steel — cost-effective for interior and sheltered use. Stainless steel — premium, fully corrosion resistant, suited to exposed and coastal environments.
Almost any perforation pattern is possible — from fine, high-solid-area patterns for maximum privacy, to coarser open patterns for more light. Bespoke designs available.
Compatible with SWR round stainless steel modular posts, and will suit most standard tube-and-fitting post frameworks. Panel fixing method confirmed at specification stage.
Aluminium and mild steel can be powder coated in any RAL colour. Mill finish, satin and mirror polish available on stainless steel. Anodized finish available on aluminium.

Each of the systems below is a complete, modular product set designed for a specific application — built to your spec. Pick the one that fits your project.
GLASS/PANEL INFILL · AISI304/AISI316 · COASTAL GRADE
A balustrade system built specifically to reduce wind exposure for coastal or 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.
HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE · NO VISIBLE TOP RAIL · WIND PROTECTION
The original height-adjustable glass balustrade. A simple press raises the upper glass panel to create instant wind protection — lower it just as easily when the weather improves. Designed and manufactured in Sweden by ErgoSafe, ClickitUp combines glass, aluminium and structural glazing bonding with no visible posts or fixings. Design-protected since 2014. Available for ground-level patios, balconies and as a retrofit inside existing railings.
STAINLESS/MILD STEEL · PUNCHED PANEL · CUSTOM PATTERNS
Stainless or mild steel panels with a punched perforation pattern, set within SWR’s standard modular post frame. 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.
SOLID/SEMI-SOLID INFILL · AISI304/AISI316 · PRIVACY GRADE
Obscure glass to create privacy for both residential and commercial needs. The panels are attached to our modular stainless steel system which can be produced to bespoke dimensions depending on the project requirements.
Perforated balustrade panels are a long-lasting, durable alternative to glazing, suited to applications where a semi-opaque infill is preferred over open wire or full-transparency glass. Almost any design is possible: material, panel size, perforation pattern, open area percentage and finish are all specified to your project requirements. Compatible with a wide variety of frameworks.

Addenbrookes Hospital required a large-scale balustrade solution that could improve safety while fitting neatly into a busy healthcare setting.
Yes. Perforated panels are a bespoke product and almost any perforation pattern is possible. Common options include round perforations in various diameters, square or slot perforations, and decorative geometric patterns. The perforation pattern affects the open area percentage — the proportion of the panel that is open versus solid — which in turn affects privacy, wind resistance and light transmission. Tell us what balance you need and we’ll design the right pattern.
Panel dimensions are bespoke to your post spacing and opening size — there is no standard catalogue size. Confirm your post spacing and required panel height at quote stage and we’ll design the panel dimensions to fit your framework exactly.
Perforated panels are compatible with SWR’s stainless steel round modular post systems, and will suit most standard tube-and-fitting post frameworks. The panel fixing method — whether the panel slots into a channel in the post, or is bolted through — is confirmed at specification stage based on your post system. If you’re using an existing framework, send us the post profile and we’ll confirm compatibility.
Aluminium and mild steel can be powder coated in any RAL colour. Mill finish, satin and mirror polish available on stainless steel. Anodized finish available on aluminium.
Bespoke perforated panels require a design confirmation stage before fabrication begins. Fabrication lead time is confirmed at quote stage and depends on panel complexity, material and current production schedule. For urgent requirements, speak to the team directly.
Tell us your material preference, panel dimensions, perforation pattern idea and post framework — or just describe what you’re trying to achieve — and we’ll design and price a complete solution.
