Installation of grilles at the windows with their hands

We have become accustomed to the fact that the windows should be installed lattice.They make our home safe.Especially because the window member can be made and home decoration, fit harmoniously into the design of the facade.To install bars on windows and will be discussed in the article.

Whatthere are lattice

First of all, the variety of lattices offered by manufacturers, should be divided according to the method of manufacture:

• made using the welding machine;

• forged.

Based on how they are installed, the lattice can be divided also on:

• tightly fastened;
• such that open;
• sliding.

If around the house or apartment to install only deaf lattice, it is in the case of an emergency: fire or flood, for example, can turn into a tragedy.Therefore, in accordance with fire regulations, at least one of the windows to be opened grille as well as the window.How much is the installation of gratings on windows depends on how you install them: whether to invite specialists, or do it yourself.

How to install bars on the windows yourself?

windows with bars not cheap pleasure:

• first material and labor;
• second plant itself also requires considerable material costs.

on costs is quite possible to save money if you buy ready-made lattice-sized windows, and perform the installation yourself.

What is required for this?

tool

Most of what you need, for sure, there is in your home because of a standard set of tools for each host is always a place for:

roulette
• ;
• level;
• pencil;
• drills and drills for her;
• maybe you have a screwdriver.

This list is not enough welding machine, and it is necessary, so that, if the acquisition is not included in your plans, you will have somewhere to lend.Because fasteners required:

• anchor bolts;
• screws, but you can do some bolts, if the wall is not made of wood.

With this you'll use depends on the type you choose, the method of placement of the lattice, the material from which the house is built, from what trimmed walls.

methods lattice accommodation

lattices place:

• outside.Thus, depending on how the window is installed, it is placed between the grille slopes or directly on the wall plane;
• inside;
• between the panes.

When installing bars on the windows classic scheme provides for their presence on the outside.

Sometimes the way we do not dictate to strengthen our desires, and the particular circumstances.Taking them into account, there are such common, mounting methods:

• welded to the embedded metal elements - pins driven into the wall, the length of 12 centimeters outside is only 50 mm.So fasten grating fabricated by welding.In this case also the walls must be sufficiently robust.The most reliable method, but setting the grid to remove it for painting or cleaning, you are no longer able.sometimes there is more rust in the attachment points;
• screwing these same elements using hardware.This method is the most popular, if you attach the grille forged;
• use for mounting studs with thread, then it will get through.It is used, mainly, if the house is wooden.

Fasten welding

Suppose purchased grille standard: six and a half meters.

• first cut into the pins to a length of 0.12 m;
• around the perimeter of the window opening to make notes, which will be opening for these fixings, putting him jail.Optimally, such openings had to 6;
• drill holes.Their depth - a little more than the length of the cut fixings;
• hole drill of the same diameter and design, framing the grille;
• holding the grille opening, insert embedded parts, ie pins;
• take the welding machine, and finally fixed.

As you were able to make the installation of welded bars on the windows, and indeed forged, is simple.

Important: Do not forget to protect the window during welding. it overlaps sheets galvanized iron, or something else .

Mounting bolts

• lugs welded to the frame;
• wall drill hole the diameter of the existing anchor bolts;
• grating is applied to the wall and through the eyelets in the prepared hole bolt is passed;
• slots on hats bolts chiseled, then need cone or red-hot drill, but you can not get bore and removable grille.

Note: if you have wooden house, instead of anchor bolts, use self-tapping screws.

A wall

• perform opening extending through the wall;
• applied lattice frame;
• screwed bolts.The end comes into the room;
• screwed the nut on the bolt.

As you can imagine, the room will be the fixture can be seen that, of course, is a disadvantage of this method.Works added, if your home is lined with vinyl siding:

• drill holes in the wall very carefully;
• studs with thread is fixed by welding on the frame grille;
• hairpins don constraints in the form of sleeves, which will protect the siding in place of docking;
• anchoring structure using nuts.

So you can install the metal bars on the windows inside and outside the premises.

sliding lattices

special place is occupied lattice sliding.Webs of interest gratings going like an accordion.Their advantages are as follows:

• assembled lattice reduced to a quarter of its width;
• box easy to wash, collecting the bars;
• windows can be opened, in the sense that the fire - a great advantage;
• grille aesthetic;
• available in any color, so that it is selected for the interior.

Features

• to mind - this is the usual array having a pair of elements arranged vertically.Element width (band) - 1.8 cm and thickness 0.4 cm;
• gap remains between the verticals - 1.8 cm;
• grill going by having a movable connector-crosslinks between the rows of vertical elements;
• series can be 2 or 5. It depends on the height of the window size;
• if the lattice is closed, are at a vertical distance of 12 cm from each other.Any deviation from this size are undesirable, since the lattice function will be worse:
• pair of vertical elements make the movement of the monorail - upper and lower.At the bottom there are the bearings.
• closes a lattice on the padlock, but may have a built-in lock.

Existing models:

• open in one direction - whether the right, or the left;
• from the center to the right and to the left.

Installation

Installing grilles at the windows with their hands is possible in this case, the apparent complexity of the design.Install them:

• in the doorway;

• on the wall, that is opening.

In the case of the decision to install grates price will include:

• manufacturing;
• coloring;
• locks;
• material cost, and if you do not decide to establish yourself, and installation.Although the installation technology for all grids and the same difficulties should not arise.

windows with bars

turns the grille can be laid in the glazing.It seems as convenient:

1. Appearance is very decent;
2. grille is not particularly stands out;
3. window opens freely.
4. To look outside the window is very simple.

But from a security point of view:

• grille does not prevent burglary.It serves most likely decoration deters thieves illiterate;
• if the window is not installed burglar, instead of the usual accessories, the thief breaks the experience flap with grille and penetrate into the apartment located in it;
• even if they want to get to the apartment by breaking the glass and stumble on the grid, which will stop the criminal and robbery will not take place, it is necessary to change the glass itself, and it is not cheap.

As you can see, the cost of installation on the lattice windows separate fully pays for itself.
