Razor ribbon, also known as razor wire, is a formidable security barrier designed to deter and prevent unauthorized access to protected areas. However, it must be used with caution due to the potential harm it can cause to individuals and animals. In addition, razor ribbon is subject to regulation in many jurisdictions.
Razor ribbon was developed soon after barbed wire in the late 19th century. Razor ribbon is a more formidable barrier against climbing and other breaching attempts. It is often used in conjunction with other security measures to enhance perimeter security and is typically installed at the top of your fence. Razor ribbon is effective as it is difficult to cut without risk of serious injury, is physically intimidating and relatively cost effective.
The most common settings for razor ribbon are military and sensitive government installations, prisons and industrial/commercial properties that need safeguards against theft and vandalism.
