Security doors, gates and bars in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is a large Free State city with older face-brick houses in Brandwag and Waverley, newer townhouse complexes in Langenhoven Park and Bainsvlei, student flats near the university, and big township areas such as Mangaung and Botshabelo. Older houses often have steel windows with welded bars, while newer builds use aluminium. Trellis doors, slamlock gates, sliding door gates and clear bars are all common. Government offices, schools and shops order steel doors and heavier gates. Winters are cold and dry and summers hot with storms. Fabricators and installers work from several industrial areas in the city, with a good choice of suppliers for most jobs.
Typical aluminium window burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Houses: bars on aluminium windows anchored to the wall, with escape panels in bedrooms
- Townhouses and complexes: bars in a frame-matching colour that the body corporate approves in advance
- Flats and apartments: slim bars on ground-floor and balcony windows without cluttering the facade
- Shops and restaurants: bars behind or outside shop windows and on aluminium back office windows
- Offices and practices: neat aluminium bars that match the building and keep the view
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on classroom and clinic windows, with release panels for escape
- Factories and warehouses: bars on aluminium office and canteen windows within plants and warehouses
- Farms and smallholdings: bars on newer aluminium windows of homesteads, galvanised or aluminium for the weather
Local tips for Bloemfontein
Common here: trellis doors, slamlock gates and clear bars on houses and townhouses. Ask each installer to allow for this: get two or three quotes and compare steel thickness and lock type, not only the price. Work usually comes from here: fabricators and installers across Bloemfontein's industrial areas.
Aluminium Window Burglar Bars are usually made in aluminium or galvanised steel tube and bars, most windows 600 to 2,100 mm wide, with fixed, hinged, or quick-release with latch and powder coat matched to the window frame. Locally: big temperature swings and summer storms: seal welds and keep the paint intact.
What to include in your request
- Window size in mm and whether it slides or opens out
- Frame colour and the finish you want on the bars
- Bars inside the glass or on the outside wall
- Wall type: face brick, plaster or hollow block
- Which bedroom windows need a quick-release panel
