Want your accommodation at the same time safe and beautiful? Beautiful decor and additional protection will serve grilles on the windows. Their model and manufacturing material indicates a tenant status in society and the perfectness of its taste. Moreover, you can make the installation of forged or other window lattices with your own hands. We discuss the details of the basic options for high-quality installation.

Installing the lattice depends on their method of execution and type / fastening site. To begin with, it is worth noting that by type of lattice are classified on:

Sliding. They require high accuracy and dynamism in their manufacture. Opened, shifting to the side.
Swing, which are performed by locking on the lock.
Fixed tightly.

Important: The last option is unprofitable from the point of view of fire safety, although it serves as an excellent protection from intruders. Such lattices are better set in those places where there are two separate outputs.

Lattices can be mounted inside - between frames, ends open or outside the window, fixing the lattice to the wall on the wall. So, when the choice of window grille was determined - prepare such installation tools:

level;
pencils;
drill with drills, bolts and screws;
welding machine.

The installation method, as a rule, dictate certain circumstances - the material of the walls, the structure of the opening, the cover of the facade, and the like. In this regard, three main ways are distinguished:

Welding to metal mortgage.
Installation by screwing to metal elements.
Cell-to-end mounting with spills with carving for wooden houses.

Is attached to the mortgage welding - the most reliable method. Applied to walls of concrete, brick and cinder block. To do this, fitting grilles on a level and mark the place on the wall to accommodate the iron pin. Drill out punch or drill horizontal holes. Important: The drill diameter must be selected by the diameter of the pin. The wall or window openings, where it will be mounted grille, drive pins (embedded) at a depth of 12 cm in bore holes. They can be cut from a metal rod. Length rods do no more than 17 cm. Their cross section can be either round or square. Check that the end of the pin protrudes outward at three millimeters. Now to the protruding pins weld bars.

Is mounted on the anchor bolts or hardware. This option is suitable for all types of walls - both wooden and brick. If the strength of the walls is questionable - use this method. It is also suitable for the installation of forged designs. Welding in this case is not required. For buildings of brick:

drill a hole in the wall in such a diameter as bolts;
attach the grille to the wall and screw in the anchor bolts through the eyelets;
chisel slot on the cap bolt, otherwise the bars may be removed.

To install the grille openings in wooden houses used instead of bolts - plumbing screws. Also do lugs can be welded to the frames.

Fastened by a through - through the wall. This method is relevant especially for wooden houses. Do the holes through the wall. Grill set vnakladku by attaching it special through bolts (pins). Bolts fasten nuts. In this way it is possible to set the lattice on either side of the room (inside or outside).

Whatever the bars on the window you choose, it is preferable to install by welding if the wall strength is in doubt - use the other methods described above. In any case - a responsible attitude when installing window guards will eventually lead to the great functionality of these metal structures.
