Bedford Reinforced Plastics (Bedford, Pa., U.S.) introduces the glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) screenwall, a tongue-and-groove panel that is engineered to provide robust security and containment solutions, particularly for the wastewater treatment industry.
The composite screenwall is designed to provide perimeter protection while also limiting exterior visibility, which enhances security for facilities that prefer to remain out of public view. Its solid-panel surface, combined with a tongue-and-groove design, make scaling the security wall nearly impossible as there are no handholds or footholds to aid unauthorized entry. Screenwalls can be integrated with a swing-hinge door to provide access for authorized personnel. The screenwall can withstand wind gusts up to 120 mph, ensuring a reliable barrier even in the harshest conditions.
In addition to security, Bedford’s screenwall is an ideal solution for secondary containment within the wastewater industry. Unlike metal and wood, Bedford’s GFRP screenwall will not rust, rot, warp or corrode, making it a durable choice for indoor and outdoor applications, especially for environments with water or corrosive chemicals. NSF-certified options and UV-resistant ReadyShield coating are also available.
Bedford’s screenwall panels are available in 2' increments with a 3" width. End caps and top caps ensure a seamless aesthetic. Stainless steel hardware is included for door hinges.
