For residents of the lower floors in high-rise buildings, as well as for owners of private territories and buildings, the question of protecting your own house from illegal penetration is. In this issue, the most important aspect is to protect windows, because it is necessary to protect them so that they continue to perform their direct appointment - to skip light and fresh air into the room. There are many ways to protect the window from hacking, which do not interfere with this appointment.

For what and what is the protection of windows

First of all, the window protection is necessary to prevent unwanted penetration into the house, that is, thieves. But the question of protection of the window and the inhabitants of the upper floors is relevant, in this case it is about protection against sunlight and insects. Insect protection is carried out using mosquito nets that do not perform any function - do not limit the ultraviolet incoming to the room and do not interfere with hacking.

As for the protection against the sun and hacking, many ways perform both of these functions at once, allowing you to cover the window on a hot sunny day and save the coolness in the house, while reliably protect the window from outside penetration. The list of possible ways to protect the wide and each tool has its drawbacks and advantages.

Sun protection

If we talk only about the means of solar protection, they include:

1. Curtains, curtains and various decorative elements.
2. Blinds, rolled curtains.
3. Toning of glasses.
4. Placement of non-glasses of a special suspension film.

All these funds are decorative and not only protect the room from the Sun, but also decorate it. But none of them will protect the room from hacking. In the case of protective elements that prevent penetration, they are more versatile and allow not only to turn the house into an impregnable fortress, but, if necessary, cover from the Sun. These funds include:

1. Shutters and roles of shutters.
2. Shutters internal and external.

The means of protection against thieves that are not means from the sun - lattice and mechanisms for strengthening the glass package. All listed protection methods are used in a single embodiment or combine one with another. Combined protection is the most reliable and solves all current problems in this issue. Before choosing one or another protection on the windows, it is necessary to consider each option, its advantages, disadvantages and applicability regarding the design of windows and personal preferences.

Selection of lattices on windows

The lattices on the windows are special metal structures that are mounted on the frames from the external or inner side. The grille is a serious obstacle to the attacker on the way to the room, while it performs a decorative function. A beautiful product, selected in the house of the exterior of the house will give him an individuality, beautiful and fundamentally reliable appearance. Powerful expensive designs emphasize the status of the owner of the house and its wealth. The type of lattice manufacturing is divided into welded and forged.

Welded grilles are manufactured by processing welding cold material. These are less costly work than forging, and, therefore, the price of the finished product is significantly lower. But the cost of work does not affect the design of welded lattices. Products are made by real masters, have a strict geometry and symmetry, a beautiful pattern that will protect and decorate the windows. The design most often uses such figures like rings and their segments, ovals and arcs, serpentine patterns. Welded grilles are inferior to adhesive in quality and fortress, cold welding creates less durable elements than forging.

Wrought lattices are manufactured in a fundamentally different way. In their creation, work is carried out with a hot material that attes a form under the influence of high temperature and mechanical effects. The lattice created in this way is unusually durable and reliable, but also the price is significantly higher. Another advantage of forged lattices is a rich selection of design and the ability to make your design to order. Metal forging is similar to artistic art, therefore the lattice made in this way are not similar to one another.

The grilles differ not only by the method of their manufacture, but also by the type of fastening. For this feature they are divided into:

1. Removable - mounted bolts to the walls, if necessary, are easily removed. Most often used as temporary protection, which is then dismantled and replaced by another.
2. Stationary - attached to the window itself, dismantling such lattices is associated with certain problems, are established for a long time.

At the place of installation, the lattice is divided into:

1. Internal - such lattices are installed between two windows of the window or from the inside. Convenient if the windows open out.
2. External - mounted in front of the window from the street.

By the type of opening:

1. Sliding - represent a stationary fixed frame that has one or two movable flaps, shifting to the side.
2. Swing - the same design, only the flaps are opened with the standard way - swallow.
3. Monolithic is a solid frame that does not have mobile elements.

Depending on the design, the thickness of the rod and the reliability of the structure itself, the lattices are divided into decorative, security or perform both of these functions. The advantage of using lattices in their stationarity and monolith. There is no need to follow, whether windows are closed if the grille is on them. Of course, if the design is monolith. Lattices perfectly decorate the house and complement it exterior. The installation will cost relatively cheap, if you select the budget version of the material and perform the work yourself.

But with all its merits, there is a lattice and disadvantages. First, it spoils the view from the window and is suitable only for those people who do not bother perspective to look outside through the lattice bar. Secondly, the design is made of metal and requires care for a long service life. Third, if the need arises urgently evacuated from the house, the lattice will become an obstacle. Fourth, installing the lattice, it is necessary to take care of the additional protection of windows from the Sun, since it does not perform this function.

Selection of shutters on the windows

Shutters on the windows is an excellent alternative for those who do not accept the use of lattices. The advantage of shutters in front of the lattices is that they create an additional light and thermal screen for the window. In addition, tightly closed shutters cover the window completely, smash the glass, not opening the shutter, will not come out. Of course, if we are talking about internal shutters. This protection is manufactured for windows from the most different material:

• Wooden shutters are a classic of private houses. Natural, beautiful and practical material that is suitable for any structure. Shutters made of wood in the most simple design are a shield from boards, lining or rail, which is attached to the windows frame. The convenience of wooden is that they are easily manufactured and mounted with their own hands. It is also not difficult to care and decorate wooden shutters - they are painted, opened with varnish or treated with a verse, various paintings and thread elements are applied. The lack of wooden products is that they do not give a high level of reliability and easily climb out of the loops.

• Plastic shutters. They have the fiscal prices, lungs, relatively durable, resistant to external influences, are not demanding in care. But the level of reliability in such products is even lower than that of wooden. Another minus - plastic shutters have few opportunities for decorating.
• Metal shutters. The most durable and fundamental. Installed using welding, disrupt them with loops or break enough enough. Create a tight screen that will not miss light, warm and unwanted guests. The possibilities of the decor at metal shutters are also available, they are painted or complemented by wrought elements. The disadvantage is a high price of the product itself and on its installation, the unfortunate of the shutter. If we compare all the materials, the wooden flaps are most natural and naturally and naturally look.

According to the design of the shutters are divided:

• Products with one sash. Such shutters are installed on small windows, which is irrational to install the design with two sash.
• Products with two sash. A classic version of any type of material and for windows of any design.
• Folding shutters. Such a mechanism consists of 4 or more parts, which develop on the principle of harmonic.
• Swivel shutters. The design is no different from the classic two-or-shaped version, but the opening occurs not in the horizontal plane, but in the vertical one. That is, the shutter rises up. Most often, such a design is installed on the roofs and attic.

At the place of installation of the shutters there are internal and external. The advantage of the inner structure is that it is not necessary to go out into the street for closing or discovery. They are not visible from the street, and therefore, closed flaps do not encounter passing by people passing by people that the owners are not now. Internal shutters do not need to equip the locks of the locks, it is enough just to set down on them. External shutters close from the street and system of locks to protect against hacking to think carefully than for internal. But the advantage of the external design is that it protects windows from all types of influences.

Choosing rolls and rollers

Shutters and roller shutters on the windows are a good way to protect the house in all indicators. It is a canvas of plastic or fabric, which rising, screws onto the rolls hidden in the box. This design creates a screen for sun rays, heat or cold. That is, does not miss them in a residential premises, and also protects the house from the thieves, if it comes to rolling shutters. This method of protection has a low cost, easy to care and is presented in a varied color scheme, which makes it easy to enter shutters in the interior or exterior. The main varieties of these products are internal decorative rollers and external protective rolling shutters.

Internal decorative rollers are made of fabric, they are also called rolled curtains. The design uses a very dense fabric, it will not miss the sunlight into the room, but will not protect the house from illegal penetration. Such curtains on the top of the window are attached, but in this case, small gaps will remain on the sides. Or the rolllet is installed on the guides, in which case it adjacent to the frame tightly and does not forms the gaps. This method is optimal for window systems installed at an angle.

External protective rolls or roller shutters are a more powerful and reliable design. They are made of plastic or metal and equipped with fixing locks that are reliably closed by a lowered rollt. If necessary, they equip them with the possibility of closing or opening from the inside, as well as an automatic system on remote control. And the external and internal structures have the ability to cover the windows not completely, but only partially, which is very convenient for operation in a residential building.

Strengthening glass package

Another way to updo one house from unwanted guests is the protection of plastic windows with special fittings and other strengthening elements. Accommodation against hacking has a special form that resembles a mushroom. Thanks to this, the constipation is securely fixed and the window sash is simply impossible to squeeze out of the frame. Another element is an overlay on the window handle, it blocks the opening of the window. Even if you drill a hole outside and try to turn the handle, it will not be possible to do it. Strengthening and protecting the window itself is an alternative to the lattice installation and is styled. Hack a strengthened window is very difficult, while not required to install any additional elements on the frame itself.

The mandatory element of the windows gain is to strengthen the glasses. Since the reinforced frame does not fulfill its functions if it stands in it, which will easily break from one blow. One of the routing options is the installation of armor-piercing glass. This method most often requires the replacement of the entire glass package and is not suiced. The budget option is a protective film that is attached to the glass. It is glued on the inside of the window, smash the glass with such protection is simply impossible.
