Product Description

We designed this Floor Socket version of our Q barrier system for more permanent installations. It is ideally suited to directing the flow of visitors at entrances to exhibits, for ticketing, or where there is a requirement for people to wait in a queue. It is both a physical and visual message dictating accessibility and ensuring that queuing is an orderly and defined process.

Suitable for static situations, the barrier post screws into a floor socket providing a rigid installation to support our discreet elasticated cord that offers an upgraded, modern alternative to the traditional droopy rope installations.

The proportions and detailing have been designed to complement museum and gallery environments with clean lines and neutral finishes. Our Signage Plate will attach easily and securely to the barrier using a Q Barrier Signage Adaptor to assist with informing and directing visitors.

We recommend up to 2.5 metres as the ideal spacing between barriers, but this can be adjusted slightly to suit individual layouts.

For the best finish, it is important to ensure that the cord maintains a level straight line between barriers.

The floor socket has recently been completely redesigned. The Q Barrier post now snaps firmly into place with a secure mechanism that ensures it's always pointing in the right direction. Thanks to this new beautifully simple system, altering the layout is very easy, doing away with the need to match each upright to its own floor socket.

With the upright being so easy to remove thanks to this new system, altering the layout is easy. However, when the upright is removed, the exposed hole of the socket is left visible. This can fill up with dirt and grime, potentially affecting the mechanism. We have designed the Q Barrier Floor Mounted Blanking Plug to slot into the socket, creating a flush finish. This not only makes the socket more visually attractive when the upright is removed, but also protects the mechanism inside the socket.
