Window security bars stop intruders from breaking into homes and businesses. The bars deter thieves visually. Any dwelling with window bars will be harder to break into, and criminals will look for an unsecured house instead. Window bars are usually made of steel or aluminum, though heavier bars made of wrought iron are available.
window bars are a means of home safety that have been proven effective. By affixing metal bars over the windows on the outside, no one can get in or out, thus deterring most burglars and thieves. However, these bars can be expensive to install and are even illegal in some jurisdictions, as they may violate fire codes. It is possible to make your own homemade window bars inexpensively and without much construction, but make sure you are allowed to first.

Reading the post on decorative window bars that another Apartment Therapy writer found earlier this week made us remember coming across this wonderful Austin example.

Famous for their interesting uses of forged steel, concrete, paint and paper, Fisterra Studio designers Todd Campbell and Jennifer Chenoweth have a unique and eclectic portfolio of furniture, paintings, sculpture and both residential and commercial details.

Removable window bars
Removable window bars:
An ideal solution for domestic and commercial applications where removal of the security bars is occasionally required. Our removable security window bars are tough powder coated anti-cut steel bars fitted vertically or horizontally supplied in white as standard for internal fitting.
These are locked in place on the inside of windows using strong extruded aluminium retaining units yet can be released quickly from the inside to allow total vision or maintenance of windows.
When measuring it is important to check the reveal is straight and level to avoid the mechanism sticking. Packing strips are available to assist with this - let us know when ordering
Spreader bars are used to reduce the deflection on taller installations and ease removal of the bars. Two rows of spreader bars are required on all bar heights above 1500mm.
Each bar consists of a 19mm steel outer tube with free moving 15mm steel inner tube.
The bars are locked in place using a high security 10 pin radial camlock with 5 million + key combinations. The maximum number of systems that can be keyed alike is 20.
The system is designed to fit as close as possible to the window frame, this will avoid any cavity for dust and dirt to collect in.
The top and bottom fitments can be placed up to the window and the fixing positions marked with a pencil, the retaining units can then be removed and the appropriate holes drilled. The minimum recommended fixing is 10 x 2" (50mm) countersunk wood screws.
