This is first in our series of quick, helpful guides to specifying the right perimeter security fencing for your project.

Ultimate is a profiled panel system which has been designed specifically for projects where a medium to high level of perimeter fence security is required, along with good visibility and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. There are three levels in the product group: Ultimate, Ultimate Extra and Ultimate Extra SR1.

Typical applications for Ultimate and Ultimate Extra include security perimeter fencing for industrial buildings, public buildings, schools, airports and seaports. For MOD, Police stations, secure units and utility suppliers, Ultimate Extra SR1 gives even higher levels of security thanks to its close wire centres and increased wire diameter. And of course it holds the Loss Prevention Standard LPS1175 security accreditation, which evaluates the resistance to unauthorised access by physical security products such as fencing. It means that as a specifier, you can be sure that the product provides the level of security that matches your needs. If you would like to know more about how to use the standard, we will be happy to help.

The Ultimate range is an exceptionally strong welded galvanised steel wire mesh panel system, which is very difficult to climb because of its close wire centres. Its security is enhanced by the RHS post and channel clamp strip, and even further when used with SafeTfix™, a unique fixing method. SafeTfix™ was developed originally for schools, where there is a need for smooth facings which keep children safe from injury. It has no visible fixings on the outside face and there are no sharp edges on the inside. Since it was developed, it has been widely adopted at sites requiring high security because of its tamper-resistance as well as its safety.

Ultimate is galvanised, and after stringent cleaning and treatment is polyester powder-coated, giving a well adhered coating to a minimum of 60 microns, available in the RAL range of colours.

The Ultimate range conforms to BS1722: Part 14 and the Ultimate extra SR1 is tested by LPCB to LPS 1175 and is accredited by Secured by Design.
