The security composite panel manufacturer Securiclad has developed an enhanced version of its modular construction system.
Securiclad says that its new system offers a solution to Loss Prevention Standard (LPS) 1175 Security Rating (SR) 5, which means that it is designed and made to withstand determined attempts at forced entry using the kind of top-of-the-range, battery powered cutting tools employed by fire and rescue personnel.
The system has been designed to resist attack by a circular saw and a high-powered 750W reciprocating saw with specialist blades, as well as tools including drills, sledgehammers and disc grinders. Securiclad says its products can be used in a range of sectors, including data centres, healthcare, utilities, cargo handling, retail, residential and finance; for the protection of areas containing servers, sensitive data, control equipment, hazardous substances, high value items and pharmaceuticals.
Securiclad can be used in new buildings or retro-fitted to an existing site, and is pre-finished, negating the need for wet trade requirements. It has internal and external applications and can be used to form a standalone ‘room’, kiosk or partition, making it ideal for use in co-location premises. Made at Securiclad’s factory in North Tyneside, the product is delivered across the UK and is available as a turnkey solution, via approved and certified nominated installers.
Securiclad’s managing director, Mike McColl, pictured, said: “We are delighted to have developed the LPS 1175 SR5 modular system solution for introduction into the market. It provides an increased level of security and will provide organisations and individuals with even greater protection for their systems, data, materials and valuables.
“The development of the SR5 solution is testimony to the innovative approach of the Securiclad team and marks a very significant development for the company.”
