Guardrails
Perforated metal guardrail systems for exterior balconies, walkways, bridges, stairs, and public-facing architectural conditions. AEGIS™ combines guardrail performance with customizable patterning, finish options, and coordinated detailing.
Architectural perforated guardrail systems with formed panel layouts, blade-plate supports, elegant detailing, and a refined visual presence. Developed for exterior and interior guardrail conditions where safety, durability, airflow, privacy, and architectural expression need to work together as one system.

Architectural perforated guardrail systems with formed panel layouts, blade-plate supports, elegant detailing, and a refined visual presence. Developed for exterior and interior guardrail conditions where safety, durability, airflow, privacy, and architectural expression need to work together as one system.
AEGIS™ is designed for projects where the guardrail needs to contribute to the architecture, not simply satisfy a barrier requirement. The system allows perforated metal panels to support the building’s architectural expression while addressing the practical needs of guardrail conditions.
Panel layout, openness, finish, and support detailing can be coordinated with adjacent façade, balcony, stair, walkway, or public-facing edge conditions so the guardrail reads as part of the overall design.
Guardrails as Architectural Metal Systems
AEGIS™ can be configured for a range of panel proportions, corners, transitions, slopes, and support conditions within the system’s established design and engineering parameters. Each configuration is reviewed to maintain required performance and a consistent architectural expression.
Flexible Configuration
Coordinated panel components, preplanned connection points, and supplied assembly hardware support a straightforward installation process, helping crews assemble and align the system easily and efficiently in the field.
Efficient Installation
The blade-plate approach keeps support components visually restrained, allowing the perforated panels to read as a cohesive architectural surface along the guardrail edge.
Seamless Design
Perforation Patterns
AEGIS™ panels can use INUXE standard perforation patterns or fully custom artwork developed for the project. Pattern selection can be calibrated to balance privacy, openness, and visual rhythm while supporting the project’s architectural expression.
For custom configurations, INUXE can coordinate pattern layout, panel breaks, and orientation to help the guardrail read as a unified architectural element across the full run.
Materials + Components
AEGIS™ is built around an established combination of perforated aluminum panels and stainless steel blade-plate supports. Its standard panel construction, formed returns, connections, and support relationships provide the baseline for each project.
These components are then adjusted as needed to address project-specific dimensions, exposure conditions, design loads, and performance requirements, with final selections documented in the shop drawings.
Finishes
AEGIS™ finishes are selected to meet both the project’s design intent and performance requirements. Options include architectural powder coatings in standard or custom colors.
During design-assist or shop drawing development, INUXE coordinates the selected finish with the project team, taking into account color and gloss, exposure conditions, coating performance, warranty requirements, and adjacent building materials.
Engineering
AEGIS™ is based on established system design, detailing, and engineering. For each project, the system is adapted to the required panel dimensions, support conditions, design loads, applicable codes, and jurisdictional requirements. Project-specific calculations and stamped shop drawings can be provided when required.
