Razor wire is divided into welded razor wire, straight razor wire, flat razor wire, and concertina or spiral razor wire. They all look different, the application is also different. Compared with barbed wire, razor wire has larger covering area and closer spacing to prevent thieves and intruders from entering the places.

  • RW-01: Diamond welded razor fence.

  • RW-02: Straight razor wire fence.

  • RW-03: Flat razor wire.

  • RW-04: Concertina razor wire.

  • RW-05: Razor wire combined with chain link fence.

  • RW-06: Razor wire combined with welded wire security mesh fence.

Welded razor wire

Diamond welded mesh straight razor wire gives people a kind of unique feeling. There are various mesh openings, generally the mesh openings are 70 × 150 mm and 100 × 150 mm, and this razor wire is often manufactured with frame for fixing function. Mesh razor wire's tape is sharp, fingers will be cut quickly, so this wire mesh is anti climb, and can greatly prevent the behaviors of greedy people to stop the crime. Welded razor wire is often combined with the concertina razor wire to achieve high level security and used by military fighters for army fencing, frontier fencing or some strict organizations fencing.

The material of straight razor wire can only be galvanized steel wire, so anti-corrosion effect is better. Packaging method is as same as the barbed wire, it can be pulled into a straight line and it's easy to install. According to different purposes of customers, there are various ways to install. It can not only save money for customers but also anti-theft. It can be used individually, and also can be used with other fences. It's mainly applicable to residential area, storage room, coal mine base, farming site, also used for tourist interest fencing, park fencing and so on.

Flat razor wire

Flat razor wire is made of carbon steel or stainless steel, which has good hardness, rigidity, and longer service life. It is transformed from the single coil concertina wire. We can also intersect various rolls of flattened single coil concertina wire and then fasten them with clips or tie wires. It can be used individually or combined with other fences to form an security wall for various sites fencing.

Concertina or spiral razor wire

Concertina or spiral razor wire is a kind of common razor wire, it occupies more than 80% of the market.

Razor Wire

Razor wire (also referred to as barbed tape or ribbon) is used to protect boundaries and/or perimeters by preventing or dissuading passage by humans. Razor wire’s points are made very sharp and meant for ripping clothes and flesh as it follows the curves in the body when a person tries to cross over them. Razor wire acts both as a physical and psychological deterrent. Razor wire/barbed tape is prohibited in some countries due to its potentially dangerous nature.

Barbed Wire vs. Razor Wire

Razor wire is a flexible, sturdy metal tape with long thin steel spear-like razor-sharp barbs that can be used to keep away unwanted intruders. It catches clothing or pierces through flesh and any other obstacles in its way – making it an effective tool for securing an area against intrusion. It’s difficult to circumvent the barrier of razor wire without proper tools.

Barbed wire is a cost-effective and versatile option for many different barrier applications. It has sharp pointed spikes/barbs along its edges that are meant to deter intruders from scaling it easily or stopping intruders before they have even arrived at their destination. Barbed wire can cause puncture wounds for those trying to circumvent this type of barrier. Barbed wire is an alternative to the more expensive razor wire, but it has lower performance and less deterrent effect than razor wire.

Razor Wire and Perimeter Security

Detection at the perimeter enables security personnel to quickly assess and respond to security events while intruders remain delayed or caught up in the razor wire. Any attempt to cut, bypass or disturb the razor wire is immediately detected. Senstar’s fence-mounted perimeter intrusion detection sensors, including the FlexZone locating fence-mounted sensor and FiberPatrol fiber-optic intrusion detection sensor, are designed to be installed on razor wire and enhance its effectiveness at providing perimeter security.
