When safety does not contradict beauty: welded grilles on windows

"My house is my fortress" - the words of this saying can become the motto of modern housing. Indeed, settling in a house or apartment, we care not only for comfort and comfort, elegant decor, decorated with tasteful design. We want to feel safe, secure. Because we install additional entrance doors, insert ingenious locks, and on the windows we make lattices.

Protection of protection

Modern welded gratings on windows are not much like those typical 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 design of buildings, but also disrupted the appearance of facades, mutilated them. The situation did not save even the shades of colors that covered the bars - the window grilles from this did not get any better. Of course, such buildings did not resemble the 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 wide choice of this protective accessory, starting from the size, type, material, pattern. Moreover, welded grilles can be made to order on an individual pattern. Thanks to such a variety, after their installation, the building not only does not lose in its appearance, but even benefits.

Varieties of styles

Grids are installed on the entire window cover or part of it. There are also opening flaps - one or two, the type of shutters. Usually for windows, welded gratings and forged ones are used. The first cheaper ones. The latter provide more opportunities in terms of design. The third type of accessory is ventilation, but they have a slightly different purpose. Welded metal grilles 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 the openwork pattern, strips of 20 mm by 2 mm are taken. On execution they can be flat and bulky, convex, and also sliding. The advantage of such products is in the possibility of modifications: if desired, additional decorative elements are inserted into the existing project. The cooking areas are processed so that the seams and joints are practically not visible. Pay attention to the welded window grilles, the photos of which you see. How much in them a bizarre fantasy, exquisite, graceful curves and contours! It's not that "the sky is a little striped," as in standard Soviet times! Although the traditional patterns due to the skill of designers and welders are now gaining new life.

Typology of patterns

Enterprises that manufacture metal protective grilles on windows use the following types of patterns:

• "Sun" - two arcs and straight rods, "rays";
• "Big diamond" - a binding of vertical rods and crossed their bars in the form of a volume diamond (the middle of the window);
• "Fine diamond" - oblique weaving;
• "Azhury" - rods with elegant curls in the style of rococo and classicism;
• "Flowers" - patterns, stylized as decorative and vegetal themes, floral motifs look very elegant and easy, nicely decorating even rather plain windows;
• The original varieties of the "wave" pattern, especially in combination with the geometric elements of the ensemble, such gratings do not prevent the penetration of air into the room, but from the attackers will be protected very and very reliably.

As you can see, it is important to buildings and you can choose not only a harmonious, but also beautiful, aesthetic function of the protection of windows.
