A solid barrier without protruding elements – the flat Egoza barrier has become one of the most popular solutions for installation on existing fences and enclosures. It combines the effectiveness of reinforced razor tape with a convenient and compact form, simplifying installation and improving the visual neatness of the security line.
The flat Egoza barrier is a strong and stable protection system made from reinforced razor tape arranged in parallel rows. It is used to strengthen the perimeter, prevent unauthorized access, and increase the security level of various types of sites.
Design Features and Applications
The flat Egoza barrier is a multi-row system in which coils of reinforced razor tape are arranged in a single plane and connected in a staggered manner. This approach creates a dense, visually uniform, and technically stable security strip that can be installed on vertical, horizontal, or inclined surfaces.
This type of barrier is most often used to reinforce existing structures: metal, concrete, mesh, or brick fences. It effectively prevents intrusion while not increasing the overall width of the barrier, which is particularly important in space-constrained environments.
Standards, Labels, and Markings
The flat Egoza barrier is also referred to by the abbreviations FSB (flat security barrier) and RWB-F (razor wire barrier – flat). Both names are used in technical and project documentation. The construction consists of parallel coils of reinforced tape connected with metal clips or fasteners to ensure high rigidity and stability.
The same materials are used as for concertina barriers – galvanized or stainless steel tape 0.5 mm thick and high-strength wire with a diameter of 2.5 mm. The finished sections are typically 0.6 to 2 meters high and 5 to 10 meters long. If necessary, they can be joined into a continuous strip of any length.
Advantages Compared to Other Barriers
One of the key advantages of the flat barrier is its compactness and strict alignment of cutting elements within a single plane. This eliminates protruding spirals and reduces the risk of accidental injury to maintenance personnel or passersby.
Another benefit is the visual neatness and order of the structure. This type of barrier is suitable for urban areas, building facades, the perimeters of office centers, and other sites where appearance matters.
Installation Methods
Flat barrier sections are attached to fences using bolts, clamps, welding, or specialized brackets. Reinforcement elements such as frames, angles, or metal guides are used to improve stability. If needed, the sections can be partially embedded or reinforced on top with additional coils of concertina tape.
Installation does not require significant expansion of the protected zone, which makes the flat barrier especially suitable for narrow areas, limited-space facilities, or locations where access routes must be maintained.
Where to Buy and How to Choose the Right Option
When choosing, it is important to consider the section height, tape type, core wire thickness, and coil connection method. For high-security sites, products with tighter coil connections and higher coil density are recommended.
