Common questions about wind protection systems

How does SWR's balustrade wind protection system work?

Totally flexible modular system that can be configured to suit a wide range of sizes to protect you from the wind and suit your space. Whilst the possibilities are vast, we will always work together with you to take into consideration the loading and compliance requirements of your project.

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.
