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 trellis doors requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a trellis door on the front and kitchen doors that folds clear for light and air
- Townhouses and complexes: a folding door across a patio opening, in a colour the complex approves
- Flats and apartments: a slim trellis gate at the front door that stacks away in a narrow passage
- Shops and restaurants: a lattice gate over a back door or a staff entrance
- Farms and smallholdings: a trellis door on the farmhouse veranda and the kitchen entrance
- Factories and warehouses: occasional use on office doors, with steel doors elsewhere
- Offices and practices: a light trellis gate for a reception door or a stationery room
- Schools, clinics and churches: trellis doors for classroom and church entrances, with exit keys at hand
