Armoured gratings, a steel barrier to protect your home
In Bauxt we produce steel armored gratings certified to burglar resistance classes 3 and 4 for safer homes and protected stores
Le inferriate sono ancora uno dei metodi antieffrazione più efficaci
Installing gratings to doors and windows may seem to be old and outdated, but the truth is that nowadays the grating remains one of the most effective anti-burglary methods, thanks to its ability to block completely the access to internal properties.
Obviously, the installation of these devices is not always essential, but there are situations in which it is definitely recommended. For example, for homes with access from the ground floor and basement floors or even for homes that overlook common areas such as inner courtyards. The same is also true for very isolated homes, second homes and holiday homes that are uninhabited for long periods.
We remind also that the tendency is often to focus a lot on the protection of the entry door, instead of the windows: this is a levity mistake since the statistics tell us that the burglary attempts with the greater percentage of success are those concerning the windows.
How to choose gratings: fixed or opening version?
The gratings can have either fixed or opening version. The fixed gratings, as the name suggests, once installed do not allow the passage.
Usually you choose to install them on small windows that are not accessible, such as in bathrooms or in basements, or even in skylights of attics. They are also installed on secondary doors of shops or warehouses that are rarely used.
More often we install opening gratings, that is to say that they can be opened and closed when necessary.
