Lattices on windows: protection and decoration in one design

If you live on the ground floor, you are certainly interested in ensuring yourself a comfortable and safe existence. To protect their homes it is important to install grills on the windows. These functional and decorative products are mounted not only on residential buildings, but also in commercial and industrial premises, offices and even country houses. And the cost of their purchase will be small, and the degree of protection - high.

What could be the grilles on the windows?

Typically, such protective products are installed on the windows of the first floors. Installation on the second and third floors is needed when the window openings are located in close proximity to the visor of the entrance or gas pipes through which the attackers can easily enter the premises. It is recommended additionally to protect and country houses, where no one permanently lives. All modern window grilles are made of steel. The best brand is St3, which is well and tightly welded.

Lattices on the windows, of course, are needed above all for the sake of a protective function. However, it is not necessary to use the simplest designs, the bars of which are arranged vertically or horizontally. Modern companies offer welded elements, which are not inferior to other means of facade decoration with their elegance and degree of decorativeness. For example, forged and grated windows look very effective and harmonious in any exterior. They are great for decorating both an apartment and a country house. With reliability and strength, forged structures are aesthetically pleasing, in addition, they can be manufactured and customized.

Most of the window structures are made of a strip of steel or metal bars up to 16 mm in diameter. Very popular rods, having a rectangular or square cross-section. Working with a strip of metal is simple, because it can be easily bent, but it is very difficult to achieve an interesting drawing. But the work with the rod is much more interesting, because it is easier to process and forge. As a material for gratings, it is not worth using cast iron, because it is heavy and fragile at the same time.

Lattices on welded windows can be stationary, opening (that is, with doors), sliding and removable. It is obvious that the stationary one is installed once and is no longer removed. For all its reliability, its main drawback is that in case of 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 construction, which is performed on the basis of steel strips connected by rivets. They are powerful, but easily deformed under the influence of physical strength.

Removable grilles on windows are similar to stationary ones, their fastening is done with the help of bolts. Their feature in the ability to withdraw 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 precisely as possible under the opening. The finishing touch is the painting of window grilles with the help of various types of enamel. This is necessary not only for decorative purposes, but also for increasing the surface resistance to various atmospheric influences.
