Characteristics of the system


Since 1995, we have developed fifteen different varieties of the spike system, which can be applied to the surfaces of almost any shape. We have sold and installed more than 750,000 metres of this system's components. In 2005, as the first Czech producer of protective spike systems for bird control, our company was certified as conforming to the ISO 9001 standard. We are currently the largest supplier of spike-system components in the Czech Republic.

Parameters of the basic strip

  • The same for all systems
  • 32 cm long
  • Made of eight 4 cm segments
  • Can be easily broken off after each segment
  • Can be easily shaped
  • Can be mounted using glue or nails
  • Bears markings for the direction of installation on ledges and window sills
  1. Fixing slot for the middle spike
  2. Fixing slots for spikes with a lock
  3. Arrow for the correct direction of the strip during installation
  4. A hole for the mounting of the strip with a nail
  5. A slit for the easy breaking off of a segment


High-quality materials

The basic strip is made of Makrolon® UV stable polycarbonate, and the spikes are made of Swedish brand-name stainless spring steel with a strength of 1950MPa and a diameter of 1.3mm. The high quality of the material used is proven by its long-term resistance to UV radiation; the strip does not become yellow and does not disintegrate, and the spikes remain straight. The aforementioned top-quality materials are a matter-of-course for us, and they are essential for the quality of the product.

Usage qualities

The widest components of the spike system have up to 125 spikes per metre. The spacing between the spikes is 40mm. Depending on the variety selected, the Kraupner protective spike system can be installed on surfaces of a width of up to 300mm. As regards broader surfaces, the system can be installed in a number of rows. These qualities make the Kraupner spike system the densest system on the market and, at the same time, make it a system with the greatest effective width.

Design quality

State-of-the-art computer controlled technology is used for the production of the basic strips and spikes. We can produce curves of any degree with an accuracy of 0.01mm, and the spikes can be shaped in 3D. When assembling spike system components, we adhere to a well-tested technological procedure. The finished products are subject to quality control.

Inconspicuousness

The Kraupner spike system is designed so as to maintain a high level of discreetness while being highly effective. The number, length, and spacing of the spikes respect both of the aforementioned requirements, and the appearance of the surface onto which the components are installed is only affected in a minimal degree.

High variability

The Kraupner spike system uses a universal basic plastic strip with 24 fixing slots. Thanks to CNC technology, we can produce infinite numbers of shapes on this basic strip, even in 3D. Thus we can also produce a variety of the spike system outside of our standard product range.
