Contour's air conditioning guards are anti-ligature with safe edges and IP3x grilles to reduce injuries that can be life-threatening to individuals.

In these environments, vandalism may be more prone. The guards are made with Zintec protected steel in various gauges from 1.5mm-2mm to ensure the guards are strong and robust.

Also, when extra strength is needed, we can provide a strengthening strut to provide the front of the cover with additional strength.
