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 burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Houses: steel bars on every window, with a quick-release panel in each bedroom
- Townhouses and complexes: bars in a body corporate approved style, often slim and matching the frames
- Flats and apartments: bars on ground-floor and balcony windows, with a way out kept in each bedroom
- Shops and restaurants: bars over rear windows, storerooms and vents, with a clear view where needed
- Offices and practices: neat bars or clear bars on ground-floor windows without darkening the room
- Schools, clinics and churches: bars on clinic and classroom windows that meet fire and escape rules
- Factories and warehouses: heavy mesh and bars on offices, vents and stores in factories and yards
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy bars on remote houses, stores and pump rooms, galvanised against weather
Local tips for Bloemfontein
In Bloemfontein, what people fit most is this: trellis doors, slamlock gates and clear bars on houses and townhouses. Makers and installers: fabricators and installers across Bloemfontein's industrial areas. A useful tip: get two or three quotes and compare steel thickness and lock type, not only the price.
Burglar Bars are usually made in mild steel, 12 mm bars in a 20 x 20 mm frame, windows from 600 x 600 to 1,800 x 1,500 mm, with fixed, or hinged with an inside latch or key and powder coat, galvanised in coastal areas. Locally: big temperature swings and summer storms: seal welds and keep the paint intact.
