Description

Flat Top Railings deliver a clean, practical solution for a broad spectrum of boundary applications. Their minimal design—featuring vertical steel bars that terminate at the flat top rail—offers visual simplicity, functional effectiveness, and safety assurance, especially at lower heights.

Manufactured from robust S275JR solid and S235JR hollow mild steel sections, each unit is hot dip galvanised for long-term durability, with optional polyester powder-coating in any RAL colour. With no projecting finials or pointed tops, these railings eliminate the risk of injury in high-footfall areas such as schools and public spaces. Fully BS 1722 Part 9 compliant and supplied with panel-to-post fixings, this is an adaptable, low-maintenance fencing system suitable for both public and private sector projects.
