Barbed wires are standard wires with barbs twisted onto them every few centimetres. Whereas a concertina wire is the coiled form of barbed wires, expanded to form large coils like a concertina (or accordion).
Due to the sophistication in the manufacturing process, the price of concertina wires are higher than barbed wires. Moreover, the installation of these wires require professional technicians because of its sharp blades and high tensile strength.
As a concertina wire supplier in Singapore, Progress Abms has galvanised and stainless steel BTO-22 for sale.

FAQs About Concertina Wires
It can be used in restricted areas, country borders, prison and detention camps. It can also be used for riot control and as a barrier for industrial factories.
The concertina wires that we supply are made of galvanised and stainless steel materials. As such, they are durable and cannot be cut through with pliers.
A barbed wire is a stranded wire with sharp spikes twisted onto it. These spikes are evenly spaced, typically a few centimetres apart. If you coil a barbed wire and expand it, the wire becomes a concertina wire.
In terms of usage, barbed wires can be used for general security, whilst concertina wires are usually installed in high-security zones such as prison camps and country borders.
Razor wires (welded together to form razor wire mesh fences) and concertina wires can be utilised in high-security areas. However, they differ in certain aspects:
- Sharpness
Both concertina and razor wires are fitted with pointed edges. However, the latter tend to be sharper than their concertina counterparts, which are typically made of barbed wires.
- Appearance
The diamond-shaped patterns of a razor wire fence are more aesthetically pleasing than a concertina wire. Thus, it may be the preferred option among customers
