Contraband Net

High-Security Anti-Contraband Mesh

Knitwire’s Contraband Net is engineered for maximum security in high-risk environments, including correctional facilities, airports, customs checkpoints, and sensitive government installations. Our knitted wire mesh combines strength, visibility, and anti-tamper performance to help prevent the smuggling of prohibited items and maintain safe, controlled spaces.

Contraband Net

Key Features

  • Superior Strength: Constructed from high-quality knitted wire, the mesh resists cutting, tearing, or tampering, creating a robust barrier against contraband items.
  • Small Aperture Size: Tightly knitted wire pattern prevents drugs, weapons, electronics, or other small items from passing through undetected.
  • Anti-Climb Properties: Smooth surfaces and closely spaced wires deter climbing attempts, reducing the risk of unauthorised access.
  • Enhanced Visibility: Clear line-of-sight ensures guards and surveillance systems can monitor areas effectively without compromising security.
  • Easy Integration: Customisable to fit standalone barriers or existing security frameworks, adaptable to any facility layout or partition design.

Comparison: Knitted Wire vs Other Security Mesh Types

  • Welded Wire Mesh: Strong, rigid, and commonly used in security fencing, but limited flexibility and can be easier to climb or tamper with.
  • Chain-Link Fencing: Cost-effective, durable, but aperture sizes are typically large and not suitable for preventing small contraband.
  • Plastic or Fibre Mesh: Lightweight, easy to install, but lacks strength for high-security applications.
  • Knitted Wire Mesh (Contraband Net): Combines strength, small aperture size, anti-climb surface, and clear visibility, making it ideal for high-security applications where safety and monitoring are critical.
