Searching for perforated fencing or perforated gates that combine security with stunning aesthetics? Look no further than Zaun’s innovative picture-perf fencing and gates. This revolutionary product utilizes cutting-edge perforation technology to create eye-catching designs directly onto the metal surface. Unlike traditional laser-cut fencing that leaves sharp edges, picture-perf prioritizes safety with a smooth, snag-free finish. But don’t be fooled by its beauty – picture-perf fencing offers superior strength and durability compared to laser-cut options.

Safety and Security with Perforated Fencing

Safety is a top concern for specifiers and fencing contractors. Traditional laser-cut fencing poses a risk due to sharp edges. Picture-perf fencing eliminates this hazard with its perforation process. This method creates intricate designs without compromising the metal’s integrity, resulting in a smooth, safe surface for everyone around the fence or gate.

Unmatched Strength and Durability for Long-Term Protection

Specifiers require fencing solutions that can withstand the elements and resist physical challenges. Picture-perf fencing by Zaun delivers exceptional strength and durability. The perforation process removes minimal material, preserving the structural integrity of the fencing. This stands in stark contrast to laser-cut fencing, which weakens the metal by removing sections. Consequently, picture-perf fencing offers superior resistance to impact, vandalism, and harsh weather conditions, making it a reliable long-term security solution.

Beyond Security: Unleash Your Design Potential with Perforated Fencing and Gates

While safety and durability are crucial, specifiers often seek fencing solutions that complement a project’s aesthetics. Picture-perf fencing by Zaun surpasses expectations in this regard. The perforating technology facilitates the creation of a vast range of designs, from intricate geometric patterns to photorealistic images. This allows for seamless integration of the fencing or gate into the project’s design, transforming it from a functional necessity into a visually striking element.

Applications for Perforated Fencing and Gates

The versatility of picture-perf fencing makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

  • Schools and Playgrounds: The safety features and ability to incorporate colorful designs or mascots make picture-perf fencing ideal for securing schools and playgrounds.
  • Public Buildings and Spaces: Perforated fencing with intricate patterns or building logos can elevate the visual appeal of public areas.
  • Commercial Properties: Businesses can leverage picture-perf fencing to enhance their brand image by incorporating logos or other design elements.

Beyond Traditional Applications: Perforated Fencing for Unique Needs

  • Zoos and Wildlife Parks: Picture-perf fencing can be incorporated as hero panels within existing fencing systems, showcasing the animals directly on the fencing!
  • Healthcare and Hospitals: With perforations less than 8mm, picture-perf fencing offers zero finger traps, making it ideal for seclusion gardens or hospital garden screening.

The Future of Fencing is Perforated

Zaun’s picture-perf fencing and gates represent a significant advancement in fencing technology. By prioritizing safety, durability, and aesthetics, this innovative product offers a solution that surpasses the limitations of traditional laser-cut fencing. With its limitless design potential and superior functionality, picture-perf fencing is poised to redefine expectations for fencing applications across the UK and Europe.

Made In Britain

Picture-Perf Fencing and Gates by Zaun; in collaboration with Graepals, is changing the way we think about decorative fencing. Manufactured from either Aluminium or Stainless Steel at heights of 2.0, 2.4, 3.0, and 4.0m if offers clients and specifiers increased safety and visual impact compared to standard laser cut fencing systems, thanks to the revolutionary perforation process.

With perforations no larger than 8mm across the whole system it prevents any areas for finger traps and with the innovative fixing system, the striking appearance of the posts removes any gaps between panels and posts.

Zaun can offer two types of perforated fencing and gate options:

  • Picture-Perf which is perfect for a true photo realistic rendering of any photograph onto a fence or gate
  • Pattern-Perf which is perfect for a vector rendering of images, symbols and logos

Five reasons why Perforation is better than Laser Cutting…

  1. Reduced Risk of Sharp Edges: Perforation creates holes, leaving minimal to no exposed sharp edges. In contrast, laser cutting leaves a clean cut that can be very sharp. This minimizes the risk of cuts and injuries for users handling the perforated metal.

  2. Lower Heat Distortion: Perforation often uses mechanical punching, which generates minimal heat. Laser cutting, on the other hand, utilizes a concentrated beam of light, creating intense heat. This heat can distort the metal around the cut, potentially weakening the structure or warping the final product, especially for thin metals.

  3. Reduced Finger Trap Potential: Perforations, particularly smaller ones, are less likely to create gaps where fingers or small objects can get trapped. Laser cuts, especially intricate designs, can leave behind narrow openings that pose a finger trap hazard, particularly for products like fences or gates used around children.

  4. Maintains Material Strength: Perforation creates a series of holes, leaving a larger portion of the original material intact. Laser cutting removes a continuous section of material, potentially affecting the overall strength of the metal, especially for load-bearing applications.

  5. Simpler Safety Implementation: Perforated metal often doesn’t require additional finishing to address sharp edges. Laser-cut products might require grinding, deburring, or other processes to create a safe, finished product, introducing additional safety considerations during manufacturing.

Finish

Where applicable, all Zaun posts/panels/gates and painted auxiliary components (for example, clamp-bars, slide bolts etc.) benefit from a protective zinc layer and electrostatically applied polyester powder coating to BS1722 p16. Care is taken with pre-treatment to ensure sound adhesion between the zinc and paint layers. In a UK C1 environment, as defined in ISO 12944 p2, this should provide a useful life expectancy of the fence of at least 15-20 years. Life expectancy in all environments can be extended by maintaining the fencing with regular washing. Useful life will be reduced if the fencing is damaged. Any coating damage should be repaired to minimise the effect on useful life.

Enhanced painting systems such as marine coatings are also available for improved life expectancy in C2-C5M environments. For a complete list of colours, click here.
