If you live on the ground floor, then you are probably interested in ensuring a comfortable and safe existence. To protect your home, it is important to install window grilles. These functional and at the same time decorative products are mounted not only in residential facilities, but also in commercial and industrial premises, offices and even country houses. Moreover, the cost of their purchase will be small, and the degree of protection - high.
What can be the bars on the windows?
As a rule, such protective products are installed on the windows of the first floors. Installation on the second and third floors is necessary when the window openings are located in the immediate vicinity of the visor or gas pipes, through which attackers can easily get into the room. It is recommended to additionally protect country houses, where no one constantly lives. All modern window grills are made of steel. The best brand is St3, which is well and firmly welded.
Lattices on the windows, of course, are needed primarily for the protective function. However, it is not necessary to use the simplest designs, the rods of which are located vertically or horizontally. Modern companies offer welded elements that are not inferior to other means of decorating facades with their elegance and degree of decorativeness. For example, forged windows on windows look very impressive and harmonious in any exterior. They are great for decorating both an apartment and a country house. With reliability and durability, forged designs are distinguished by an aesthetic appearance, in addition, they can be made by individual order.
Most window constructions are made from a strip of steel or a metal bar with a diameter of up to 16 mm. Very popular are bars having a rectangular or square section. Working with a strip of metal is simple, since it can be easily bent, but it is very difficult to achieve an interesting pattern. But working with the bar is much more interesting, since it is easier to process and forge. Cast iron should not be used as a material for gratings, because it is heavy and at the same time quite fragile.
Welded window grilles can be fixed, opening (that is, with wings), sliding and removable. It is obvious that the stationary is installed once and is no longer removable. For all its reliability, its main drawback is that in the event of a fire, it makes it impossible to exit through the window. Lattices in the form of shutters easily open. A worthy alternative to them is the sliding type design, which is based on steel strips connected by rivets. They are powerful, but easily deformed under the influence of physical force.
Removable grilles on windows are similar to stationary ones; they are fastened with bolts. Their feature is the ability to remove at any time. Thus, the buyer is provided with a truly huge selection of systems that will reliably protect housing. The main thing is to select them as accurately as possible under the opening. The finishing touch is the painting of window grilles using various types of enamel. This is necessary not only for decorative purposes, but also to increase the resistance of the surface to various atmospheric influences.
