Advantages of a guardrail net

Table of contents

To secure a staircase, mezzanine, or terrace, installing a guardrail net offers numerous advantages.

Durable Protection

The guardrail net effectively secures all areas with a risk of falling: mezzanines, stairs, balconies, terraces, or interior openings. Available in several models depending on project constraints, it combines safety, aesthetics, and durability. For the most demanding applications, the catamaran-type net is the most resistant solution thanks to its high-performance design.

Originating from the nautical world, the catamaran net is designed to withstand the most demanding conditions. It does not rot, is resistant to bad weather, UV rays, and humidity, while maintaining its tension over the years without stretching. These properties make it a particularly suitable material for securing a staircase, mezzanine, terrace, balcony, or any other space exposed to climatic variations or intensive use.

The net can be installed indoors or outdoors.

Safety Element

This is the primary function expected of a guardrail net: to protect people and pets from falls.

Resistant up to 400 kg/m2, a net from Corderie Gautier can truly serve as a guardrail and protection against falling, including for adults.

For this purpose, we recommend installing a guardrail at least 90 cm high, and securely attaching it to a robust support: wood, solid material, or metal support.

The choice of fixing support for the residential net is very important. A hollow, brittle, or too fragile material will not be suitable.

In addition, the net must be fixed approximately every 15 cm.

The meshes prevent a child or an animal (dog, cat) from passing through and falling. Their size should be adapted according to your project.

Aesthetics

The catamaran net is increasingly popular due to its customization: it adapts to your environment, whether it's an indoor or outdoor installation.

The rope is of good quality for a high-quality final result.

The meshes, typically 30 or 50 mm, allow light to pass through for a bright interior or balcony.

Attached as close as possible to the fixings, especially if you use stainless steel eye plates, the guardrail net offers a neat and discreet finish.

It is therefore a product that is certainly for safety, but also for decoration and furnishing for the home or garden.

An economical solution

Although custom-made, the price of a guardrail net makes it an economical alternative to other equipment.

A mezzanine or balcony guardrail made of stainless steel, aluminum, or glass (for example) is generally found at high prices. Especially if it's a custom installation.

A knotted mesh model will be much cheaper. Of course, you'll also need to add the attachment rope and fixings. Even with these additional accessories, it remains a quality and economical product.

Easy installation

It is essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper tensioning of the vertical net. The installation of the guardrail is quite simple and quick. It is entirely feasible for an individual at home.

To ensure optimal safety of the area to be protected, it is advisable to choose a custom-made net.

The net can be adapted to multiple shapes, to exactly cover the area to be secured: square, rectangle, triangle, rounded… it is manufactured to plan and adapts to your needs. Specific cut or attic shape: anything is possible with a net!

At Corderie Gautier, we study your request and provide you with a personalized solution.

We can also customize the color of the rope to best integrate it into your home or garden.

Outdoors, choices are more limited because the sun's UV rays quickly degrade colors and make them lose their vibrancy. Indoors, however, we can use a very wide range of colors.

We also frequently work with interior designers and architects who wish to push decoration to its maximum to create a unique and personalized design.
