Kompression Post Edge Protection

Choose compression posts when you need fast installation, frequent relocation, or you want to avoid slab penetration (common on concrete-frame builds and fit-out stages). They’re especially useful when your program changes often and you need to move protection quickly.

Typically no—that’s the key advantage. They’re designed to fix between concrete floors and soffits without anchors, using a compression mechanism to hold position.

Yes. Many systems can be configured with barriers plus containment netting to create fully covered openings, helping stop both people and loose materials from passing through.

It depends on the model—most are adjustable within a defined slab-to-soffit range, and some “XL” versions cover taller spans. Always confirm your project’s floor-to-soffit dimension against the manufacturer’s stated range.

Many compression-post solutions are tested/configured to EN 13374 (often Class A, sometimes A & B depending on the system and setup)—but compliance is configuration-specific (post + barrier type + height + fixing method). Ask for the test/technical documentation for the exact build you plan to use.

Many suppliers position compression posts as significantly faster because you eliminate drilling, dust, and anchor installation—plus relocation is simpler. Actual speed depends on crew experience, edge geometry, and containment requirements.
