Egoza flat barrier or flat concertina is a type of security barrier made from Egoza razor wire laid out in parallel strands and joined together using fastening clips. Its flat construction makes it ideal for installation in confined areas, on existing fencing systems, or in locations where it is not possible to install traditional concertina wire.
Design Features and Operating Principle
The flat barrier is manufactured by arranging multiple strands of Egoza razor wire in a single plane. These strands are laid in parallel or in a crisscross pattern and connected with strong clips in a staggered configuration. The result is a flat structure that retains the cutting capabilities of concertina wire but requires significantly less space.
The flat layout ensures the barrier remains stable when installed on vertical or inclined surfaces. It can be mounted on gates, walls, fences, containers, windows, railings, and other surfaces where minimal protrusion is required.
Applications of the Egoza Flat Barrier
The flat barrier is used in cases where existing perimeter fencing must be reinforced or where the installation of a concertina wire is not feasible. Typical applications include:
- Window and passageway protection in secure buildings;
- Perimeter protection for industrial facilities;
- Rooftop, parapet, archway, gate, and fence protection;
- Installation in areas with high pedestrian or vehicle traffic.
Flat barriers can be installed in single or multiple layers, forming a reliable vertical defense with minimal space usage.
Advantages of Egoza Flat Barriers
- Compact and discreet design – requires minimal space and is less visually intrusive than bulkier structures;
- Flexible mounting – easily attaches to a variety of surfaces and fencing without heavy structural load;
- Preserved protective properties – razor blades maintain their deterrent function even in flat form;
- Ease of transport and storage – can be produced in standard-length sections for convenient logistics;
- Integration with other systems – can supplement and enhance existing perimeter protection installations.
Materials and Durability
The Egoza flat barrier is made of razor wire featuring a galvanized steel core. The blades are stamped from 0.4-0.6 mm thick steel tape and shaped into standard profiles, which are then assembled into a flat structure. The fastening clips are made of galvanized or stainless steel and are resistant to corrosion.
All components are designed for long-term outdoor use. Optional polymer or aluminized coatings are available for deployment in aggressive environments, such as industrial zones or coastal areas.
