Security doors, gates and bars in Western Cape
The Western Cape includes Cape Town's mix of Victorian terraces, flats, townhouse complexes and suburban houses, the winelands around Stellenbosch and Paarl, the Garden Route towns of George and Knysna, and Hermanus and Worcester. Heritage areas and estates can restrict what you fit on a facade, so clear bars and discreet designs are popular. Strong coastal wind, salt air and winter rain corrode ordinary steel, so galvanised or stainless parts and a good paint system last far longer. Many homes have timber, steel or aluminium windows, each needing different fixing. Fabricators work from areas such as Parow, Epping, Montague Gardens and Paarl.
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
- Farms and smallholdings: heavy bars on remote houses, stores and pump rooms, galvanised against weather
- Factories and warehouses: heavy mesh and bars on offices, vents and stores in factories and yards
- 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
