“My home is my castle” - the words of this saying can become the motto of modern housing. Indeed, settling in a house or apartment, we care not only about coziness and comfort, elegant furnishings, decorated with tasteful design. We want to feel safe, secure. Therefore, we install additional entrance doors, insert ingenious locks, and we make grilles on the windows.
Protection protection discord
Modern welded window grilles are not much like the typical ones that we used to see on the first and second floors of buildings in Soviet times. Often, they not only did not fit into the architectural solution of the buildings, but also violated the appearance of the facades, mutilated them. Even the shades of paints with which the rods were covered did not save the situation - window welded grilles did not get any better from this. Of course, such buildings were not like prison buildings, but the sensations at the sight of them arose gloomy. Now, of course, a lot has changed. And the current market provides the consumer with a fairly wide selection of this protective accessory, ranging from size, type, material, pattern. Moreover, welded gratings can be made to order according to an individual pattern. Due to such diversity, after their installation, the building will not only not lose in its appearance, but will even win.
Varieties of styles
Lattices are installed on the entire window cover or part of it. There are also opening sashes - one or two, like shutters. Typically, windows use welded and forged grilles. The first ones are cheaper. The latter provide more design options. The third type of accessory is ventilation, but they have a slightly different purpose. Welded metal gratings are made, as a rule, from rods with a diameter of 10 mm or more, frames for them - from corners with parameters from 25 mm to 4 mm. For openwork drawing, strips of 20 mm by 2 mm are taken. By execution, they can be flat and voluminous, convex, as well as sliding. The advantage of such protective equipment products is in the possibility of modifications: optional, additional decorative elements are inserted into the existing project. Cooking areas are processed so that the seams and joints are practically invisible. Pay attention to the welded window bars, photos of which you see. How many bizarre fantasies, sophistication, grace of bends and contours! Not that "the sky in the strip-strip", as in standard Soviet times! Although traditional patterns, thanks to the skill of designers and welders, are now gaining a new life.
Typology of patterns
Enterprises that produce metal protective grilles for windows use the following types of patterns:
- "Sun" - two arcs and straight rods, "rays";
- “Large rhombus” - binding of vertical bars and the bars laid across them in the form of a volumetric rhombus (middle of the window);
- "Small rhombus" - oblique weaving;
- "Openwork" - bars with graceful curls in the Rococo style and classicism;
- “Flowers” - patterns stylized as decorative and floral themes, floral motifs look very elegant and easy, nicely decorating even rather plain tiles;
- Varieties of the “wave” pattern are original, especially in combination with the geometric elements of the ensemble, such grilles do not impede the penetration of air into the room, but they will be very, very reliable protection from intruders.
As you can see, it is important and possible to choose not only harmonious, but also a beautiful, aesthetic function window protection option for buildings.
