REMEMBER ... DO YOU HAVE AN ESCAPE PLAN IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE ?

introduction to Security Bars for Windows
Bars & grilles are a proven method of improving security levels of windows and doors, but are they safe ?
When choosing bar or grille Security Bars for Windows systems, careful consideration must be given to safety as well as security issues,
e.g. fixed bars or grilles should obviously not be installed across fire escape windows / routes, etc.
Ideal for D.I.Y or professional installation, Security Bars for Windows from AdaptaBars offer a practical solution to protecting vulnerable windows
where the cost of a made to measure grille would be prohibitive.
Each telescopic bar set is made up of a solid steel bar section and a robust steel tube section.
This versatile modular Security Bars for Windows grille system is available off the shelf in flatpack form. You choose exactly what you want -
install bars only, alternatively you can turn the system into a customised grille by adding lateral spacer bars -
practical protection for almost any window or door.
For maximum benefit consider the use of Security Bars for Windows fastenings during installation.
The bars offer protection for any window or aperture from 300 mm - 2,000 mm in height and of any width.
Their adjustability means that even if you get the measurements slightly wrong when you order the Security Bars for Windows you should still
be able to complete the installation safely and easily (unlike trying to install a fixed grill system that is 2mm too
tall for the aperture it was ordered for.)
It is easy to work out how many bars you will need - simply mark the horizontal centre of the window aperture then mark
the sill at appropriate bar centre intervals. For security applications bars should be fitted at 5" (125mm) centres
(BS8220) whilst for child safety applications, building regulations recommend 4" (100mm) between Security Bars for Windows centres. For
economy installations, they can also supply spacers with 6" (150mm) bar centres.
When using longer bars (e.g. such as on a door) use of an extra central fixing clamp is advised (e.g secured to the
cross bar of the door). Centre clamps are included as standard with each door bar set and are available as an optional
purchase for use with other bars.

apertures. They can be installed as a single strip or can be formed into attractive geometric patterns.
For security applications bars should be fitted at 5" (125mm) centres (BS8220) whilst for child safety applications,
