Plastic netting or metal mesh wall? The pros and cons at a glance.
Plastic netting and metal mesh walls are two commonly used options for securing racks in warehouses. What is the best choice to minimise the risk of your goods falling and ensure the safety of your staff and visitors? We’ll provide you with an overview of the pros and cons.
Full flexibility in terms of dimensions
Whatever size you need, plastic nets know almost no bounds. You can customise them completely according to the needs of your warehouse. This makes them a versatile solution for different types of rooms and applications: for a logical warehouse layout, as a mezzanine guard net or as a rack net? Plastic nets can be tailored to your project.
Economical thanks to quick assembly
Plastic nets can be installed and dismantled in no time by means of the specially designed spacers. As a result, you can simply install the plastic screening nets yourself. Especially with the assembly guidelines provided by Duranet, their installation becomes child’s play. This will save you a lot of money and time. A double advantage, in other words. Even when you change the layout of your warehouse, you can very easily adjust the nets accordingly. Do you prefer to outsource this job anyway? If so, we are happy to put you in touch with a reliable installer.
Guaranteed durability
A very important advantage of plastic netting is its flexibility. This is because the nets automatically return to their original position and continue to be as reliable and safe as before, whereas you need to replace metal mesh walls frequently. So there is no permanent damage to the system in the event of a non-sharp impact.
As plastic nets are not prone to rusting, they provide the ideal solution in warehouses where moisture may be a problem. In addition, they are highly resistant to acids and alkali, making them safe to use even in environments where chemicals are stored. Furthermore, several nets are also available in a flame-retardant version.
Disadvantages of plastic netting
At Duranet, we are 100% convinced of plastic nets. Although they are less suitable for some situations. For the storage of sharp or very heavy objects, we recommend using metal mesh walls. After all, safety is and always will be a top priority.
