Uses of Window Guards
Woven Wire window guards have proven their ability to protect
stores, churches, schools, homes and factories against burglary
and breakage of glass. Woven Wire is the standard of protection
for gymnasium windows and lends itself readily to any style
of window construction. Illustrations on this page present application
to a variety of conditions.
Advantages
Woven Wire window guards are always made to fit the exact
openings of windows, eliminating waste of material since webs
are not cut from stock sheets but are woven for each individual
guard. Mesh openings can be decreased to suit special conditions,
such as bird screens for church windows. Thickness of wire
can be increased where added protection is required, such
as exterior windows adjacent to school playgrounds.
Recommendations
Regarding Finishing of Window Guards
All exterior guards should be hot dipped galvanized after
fabrication.
