Window Bars

Re: Window Bars
Your local Ferretaria would be the best place to ask, they would usually know or be able to give you contacts, especially if they are normally fitted to buildings.

Re: Window Bars
If you go to your local Ferretaria he is going to recommened a mate and then get a kickback, which will put up the price you pay.... Furthermore you have no idea but his mate might be useless at the job...
Better to go on personal recommendations or if you see some bars on a window and it looks like a professional job, why not just knock on their door and ask them if they could recommended whoever did the job. Mind, that will only work with recently constructed properties. On older properties they probably won't have a clue who did the bars... Personally, I would ask around in the local boozers or better still ask a barman or two....

Re: Window Bars
I agree, but put them on the inside of the house if it's a remote area. I haven't seen it here but in Italy bars are not much of a deterrent on the outside. They just tie a chain to the bars, attach it to a car/truck and rip them off leaving a huge repair bill just to steal your TV.

Re: Window Bars
Ones on the inside are rare in Spain and would make opening the window difficult. If installed when the house was built they can be securely anchored. If not a hydraulic car jack can easily lever them out. A good connected alarm system is a safer bet.

I guess the other way of doing it would be blinds outermost, then windows, then bars innermost, which I can't say I've seen anywhere. I'm not sure if there are any advantages to this way but the cleaning would be more difficult.

Re: Window Bars
Holy Toledo I thought the U.S. was bad with break ins! The image of a truck towing the bars off the window....is the crime really that bad? My first day reading this site since we will be there soon and we are hoping to rent long term starting in the spring. I was curious about all the bars on the windows....I've only seen that here in the inner city. But then again everyone here is packing a pistol! Either way it's not good I guess.

Re: Window Bars
Originally in old properties the bars were due to the fact that the lowere level was usually inhabited by the animals. As time went on people kept them or put them in because they thought that it looked good. Then the insurance companies saw them as a good form of security so many of these companies would not insure a property unless the street level windows had the bars. I have lived here for 15 years and know of no incidents of vehicles pulling bars off.
