Wire mesh

SafetyCoil wire-mesh fabric is a flexible round weave used as divider guards, securing restricted work areas, and as a barrier against unwanted objects. The material’s flow-through design allows observation of moving parts and workspaces. The panels protect objects from impeding the scissoring motion of a lift while an operator in the basket is rising and descending. The mesh is available in stainless, galvanized, and aluminized steel; steel spray; and nylon-coated galvanized steel.

AFA Protective Systems, Boston, installed an advanced fire alarm and emergency voice/alarm communications (EVAC) systems network in Fenway Park, Boston, and surrounding related buildings.
