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 steel doors and frames requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a solid steel door on the garage, laundry or a granny flat entrance
- Townhouses and complexes: a steel door to a garage or a bin store, painted to suit the complex
- Flats and apartments: a steel door for a meter room, a storeroom or a refuse area
- Shops and restaurants: a solid steel staff door and storeroom door
- Farms and smallholdings: steel doors on workshops, chemical stores, feed rooms and pump houses
- Factories and warehouses: double steel doors on plant rooms, stores, boiler rooms and workshops
- Offices and practices: a steel door for server, archive and plant rooms
- Schools, clinics and churches: fire-rated and plain steel doors for plant rooms, stores and kitchens
