Security doors, gates and bars in Cape Town
Cape Town has an enormous variety of buildings: Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Salt River, face-brick suburban houses in Claremont and Bellville, flats along the Atlantic seaboard, townhouse estates and the informal and formal areas of the Cape Flats. Salt air and strong south-easterly winds corrode steel on the coast, so galvanised or powder-coated doors and bars with stainless fixings make sense, and heritage areas may restrict what can go on the front of a house. Industrial users in Montague Gardens, Epping and Paarden Eiland order heavy gates and steel doors. Fabricators work from these industrial areas and across the metro.
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
- Flats and apartments: slim bars on ground-floor and balcony windows without cluttering the facade
- Townhouses and complexes: bars in a frame-matching colour that the body corporate approves in advance
- Shops and restaurants: bars behind or outside shop windows and on aluminium back office windows
- Factories and warehouses: bars on aluminium office and canteen windows within plants and warehouses
- 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
- Farms and smallholdings: bars on newer aluminium windows of homesteads, galvanised or aluminium for the weather
