SWR’s protective screen range covers stainless steel, glass and perspex screening solutions for commercial, industrial and architectural applications, with a solution for every budget and location. Ready-to-fit kits from our large UK stock holding for fast turnaround, or fully bespoke solutions designed and fabricated in-house for non-standard requirements.
Protective screens are supplied as ready-to-fit kits or fully bespoke fabricated panels — depending on your application and budget. All systems are designed, fabricated and supplied from SWR’s in-house facility with a large UK stock holding for fast turnaround.
Toughened, or toughened and laminated glass screening panels for applications where visibility through the screen is required. Clean, contemporary appearance. Suited to architectural and commercial settings.
Perspex (acrylic) screening panels — a lightweight, cost-effective alternative to glass for applications where full transparency is needed. Available in clear, frosted and coloured variants.
Stainless steel frame systems to suit your screen panel type. Floor fixed, wall fixed or free-standing configurations available.
Full support available. Contact us to explain your project and fixing substrates and we will advise you with the best solution.

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.
SWR has been supplying tested and certified balustrade and screening systems since 1989. Our in-house fabrication facility enables us to offer both standard ready-to-fit solutions and fully bespoke designs, covering non-standard panel sizes, complex fixing requirements and unusual substrate conditions. Every system is designed to meet the structural and safety requirements of its specific application.

Addenbrookes Hospital required a large-scale balustrade solution that could improve safety while fitting neatly into a busy healthcare setting.
SWR supplies protective screens for permanent commercial and industrial installations in either toughened, or toughened and laminated glass or perspex (acrylic) for lightweight, cost-effective applications where full transparency is needed. The right material depends on your application, environment and budget — the team will advise at quote stage.
Protective screens are used across a wide range of commercial and industrial applications: plant and equipment screening on commercial rooftops, machinery guarding in industrial settings, permanent safety barriers in public buildings and commercial properties, and architectural feature screening in offices, hospitality venues and retail environments. If your application involves a solid or semi-transparent barrier — rather than an open infill like wire or perforated panel — a protective screen is likely the right solution.
Yes. SWR offers both a supply-only and a supply and install option. Our network of approved installers cover the whole of UK. Contact the team with details of your project and location.
Small protective screens can often be dispatched within 3 working days. Larger and more complex fabricated screens sometimes require additional time for design and fabrication. Quotes are turned around within 24 working hours of receiving your drawings or dimensions, with fabrication lead times confirmed at quote stage. For urgent requirements, speak to the team directly and we’ll confirm what’s achievable.
Tell us your application, your material preference — stainless, glass or Perspex — and whether you need a standard kit or a bespoke solution. We’ll come back with a specification and price, fast.
