Description
A crisp scallop shell in cast steel, the natural choice for seaside gates and railings. This badge is 90mm wide and 80mm tall: a fan-shaped scallop with raised ribs spreading out from a small square tab at the base. It is gently curved, about 14mm deep overall, and welds or bolts to gate bars, railing panels, posts and doors. The price shown is for one badge, with a minimum order of 5.
Why choose this badge
Made for the coast. A scallop shell says seaside straight away, on promenade railings, beach-house gates, harbour walls and hotel frontages.
Works in a row. At 90mm wide it fits neatly between the bars or on the rail panel of a railing, so you can repeat it every bay for a strong, even pattern.
Light and easy to fix. At about 0.17 kg it adds almost nothing to a gate, and the square tab at the base gives a solid spot to weld or drill.
Ready for any finish. It comes as raw cast steel, so you can paint it white, gild it, or galvanise and powder coat it with the railing.
Where it is used
Seafront and promenade railings, beach-house and coastal cottage gates, harbour and pier railings, balconies, garden gates, doors, letterbox surrounds and decorative panels.

Fitting and care
Clean the back of the badge and the bars where it will sit with a flap disc so the weld takes. Clamp it in place, check it is upright and centred, then tack it and check again before welding. On a run of railing, mark the centre of each bay first so every shell sits at the same height.
Degrease, then prime with a zinc-rich or metal primer before painting. Near the sea, hot-dip galvanising before powder coating gives by far the longest life, as salt air attacks bare and thinly painted steel quickly.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one badge?
Yes, it is for one scallop shell badge, with a minimum order of 5. For a long railing, call us for a quantity price.
Is it painted?
No. It is raw cast steel and will rust if left bare outdoors, so prime and paint it, or galvanise it, once it is fixed.
Is it suitable near the sea?
Yes, once it is protected. Galvanise and powder coat it, or use a marine-grade primer and paint system, and touch up any chips each spring.
Which way up does it go?
Normally with the square tab at the bottom, as shown, but it can be fitted upside down or on its side to suit the design.
Are all the badges exactly the same?
They are cast from the same pattern, but cast parts vary by a millimetre or two and the surface texture varies slightly from one casting to the next.
