METHODO is the latest Fils parapet, featuring expanded metal panels with NTC 2018 certification. An extremely strong structure made from carbon steel elements: posts, handrails and reinforced base plates. The panels used to 'fill' METHODO parapets are made from our Esperia and Ambasciata expanded metal mesh panels, enclosed on all four sides. Two handy standard modules are available (1000 and 1200 mm). Other mesh designs can also be used to create tailor-made parapets thanks to the 'METHODO CORNER' and the 'METHODO CUSTOM' modules.
Methodo models
METHODO 1000 and METHODO 1200
Parapets can be created using modular aluminium panels (1000 or 1200 mm). These are already enclosed and have all the fittings needed to fix them to robust iron posts. Simply choose the mesh design and colour finish you want.
METHODO CORNER
METHODO CORNER is a practical solution for creating customised parapet corners. Each corner is made to the customer's specifications in order to get the exact parapet length and shape required.
