Shell Link Infill Panel 190 x 975mm, 12 x 6mm Flat Bar, Modern Railing and Gate Strip

A clean, modern infill strip for gates, railings and balustrades. This panel is 975mm tall and 190mm wide, made from 12 x 6mm flat bar. It is built from three identical 325mm shell units stacked one above another. Each unit has twin curved bars bowing out on each side and a pair of inward arcs meeting in the middle, bound with a forged collar, and the units are joined to each other with small collars. It is 12mm deep and weighs about 2.75kg. Weld the top and bottom arcs between your rails and set the strips side by side, or space them out between plain bars. It suits contemporary homes as well as Art Deco and period styles. It comes in raw steel, ready to weld and finish. The price shown is for one panel.

Why fabricators use it

A modern look without bespoke work. The repeating shell shape gives a contemporary pattern that would take hours to bend and collar by hand.

Light and neat. The 12 x 6mm flat bar keeps the panel slim, so a full run looks crisp in anthracite grey, black or any powder coat colour.

Works in rows or as accents. Fit strips side by side for a patterned screen, or one every few bars for a subtle feature.

Symmetrical. The panel is the same top to bottom and side to side, so it goes in either way up.

Mild steel takes any finish. Paint it, powder coat it or have it hot-dip galvanised so it matches the rest of the job.

Where it is used

Modern pedestrian and driveway gates, front garden railings, staircase and landing balustrades, balcony fronts, room dividers, garden screens and shopfronts.

Specifications

How many do you need?

For a full row of strips with a plain bar between each, allow about 250mm per strip. As a guide:

Choosing the right panel

This panel fits a rail gap of 975mm. For a different height or style, compare:

• 275 x 900mm lattice knot panel
• 95 x 1000mm diamond scroll baluster
• 165 x 1000mm double scroll baluster
• 160 x 450mm textured scroll panel for low railings

Stairs, landings and balconies in homes: the gaps in the guarding must not let a 100mm sphere pass. Some spaces inside the shells are larger than 100mm, so for guarding, back the run with glass, mesh or a plain panel.

Fitting and care

Set your rails 975mm apart, or pack the gap to suit. Stand each strip upright between the rails, check it is plumb, tack the top and bottom arcs to the rails, then weld out and dress the welds. Space the strips evenly along the run. Raw steel will rust if left bare, so finish it the same day or keep it dry. Outdoors, have it hot-dip galvanised, or degrease, prime with a zinc-rich or etch primer and top coat with metal paint.
