Security bars come in a variety of shapes, finishes and materials. They can be made of steel, or aluminium, and most often they come in a diamond shape pattern. Sometimes even a more curvy ‘S’ shape design.

Efficient and Aesthetically Pleasing

Security grilles are aesthetically unobtrusive, elegant and professional looking security measures. They are arguably also the most effective solutions as opposed to security cameras, or roller shutters, etc.

Window and door security grilles are so efficient for two reasons. Whilst not only deter any intruders from even considering to break in. Security grilles also pose a physical barrier that makes it very difficult to break in without getting noticed. 

Extendable Security Grilles can be all manually operated very easily. They slide out and retract smoothly, and can be locked with a simple key. Security grilles have no electric parts to them, and therefore require minimal maintenance. This includes simply to keep them clean, and lubricate them with oil sometimes such as WD-40.

The retracted position takes up very minimal space, and can be easily hidden behind curtains when not in use. 

Other advantages of security grilles as opposed to roller shutters for example, is that sliding security grilles allow free flow of air. Therefore they provide safe ventilation any time of the day. Sleeping with open windows on summer nights is not a problem with expandable security grilles. In the same vein, they also allow light to come into the room without any restriction. 

Security grilles are arguably the most efficient, as well as cost efficient security measures that can be added to a private, public or commercial property.

Research shows that staying in a regularly aired room may reduce the risk of spreading infected particles by 70%, therefore significantly preventing transmission of the coronavirus indoors. It is well known that airborne viruses, including Covid-19, are spread by people speaking, sneezing, coughing, blowing their noses, etc. Considerable amounts of air droplets and smaller particles are generated this way. These can then accumulate and linger around in enclosed spaces for hours, ready for other people to breath these in, and get infected. It is therefore crucial that we ventilate our spaces regularly, and throughout the day and night, so these particles are diluted thoroughly.

Airing Safely with Security Door Grilles

Fresh air is extremely beneficial as it not only helps to reduce the risk of infection, but also aids recovery once someone is infected. Government and NHS provide clear guidelines that it is advised to keep lounge doors, and bedroom windows slightly open to aid a healthy level of fresh air circulation indoors. Our security door grilles provide an optimum solution throughout the day, and even during the night for this, whilst still staying secure at home.

Our security door grilles not only serve us well during those breezy summer nights, when we can sleep safely with our windows open, but it seems ever more important now when our health is at constant risk in any enclosed space. With the self-installation option of our security window and door grilles we can also guarantee the easiest, socially distant and safest solution on the market for both our customers, and our employees. So and let’s air that room continuously, and especially before, during, and after any visitor in our spaces. Let’s allow that ventilation to flow nicely and do its best in keeping us healthy, whether or not we already have people with symptoms in our household. As always however, let’s not compromise on safety!
