Ordering Security Bars for a Newly Renovated Flat

t258-39

Order security bars once the new windows and wall finishes are in place, so the bars are measured against the actual openings. Send photos, arrange an on-site measurement, and approve a written drawing before production starts.

When to Order Window Bars in a Renovation

The best time to order security bars is after the new windows, sills and plaster are installed but before the painting and final tiling are finished. At this stage the openings are fixed, so the measurements are accurate, and the bars can be installed without damaging fresh work.

If the flat is still under construction, you can still start the inquiry early. Just plan the on-site measurement for the moment the openings are final, so nothing shifts afterward.

What to Prepare Before the Measurement

A smooth order starts with good information. Gather a few clear photos of each window and balcony, taken straight on and from the side, and note which rooms they belong to.

The On-Site Measurement

Our team visits the flat to measure every opening exactly as it is now. We check the width and height at several points, because walls are rarely perfectly straight after a renovation.

We also look at the fixing points. We confirm that the wall or frame can hold the bars securely, and we note where any pipes or wiring run nearby so drilling is planned safely.

Drawing, Specification and Approval

Before anything is made, you receive a drawing and a written specification. It shows each bar, the spacing, the finish and the fixing method, so you can check the layout against your own plans.

Read the drawing carefully and ask questions about anything unclear. Once you approve it in writing, the order moves into production. Changes after approval can delay the work, so it pays to review thoroughly at this stage.

Production, Finish and Installation

Bars are cut and welded in our factory on Rival Street in Tel Aviv. For outdoor exposure, iron bars are hot-dip galvanized and then powder coated, which protects them against rust. Aluminum is a lighter option that needs no galvanizing.

Installation is done on site once production is complete. We fix the bars to the wall or frame and check that each one is level, tight and in line with the approved drawing.

Checking Safety and Standards

Security bars must be strong enough for their purpose and fixed properly, and the spacing should leave a safe escape route in case of fire. We design with these needs in mind.

For the exact requirements that apply to railings and guards, the relevant Israeli standard is SI 1142. Specific measurements are confirmed with the project engineer, so check with them before final approval.

Frequently asked questions

How long before moving in should I order the bars?

Start the inquiry as soon as the openings are final, so there is time for measurement, approval and production. Installation is best done before you move furniture in.

Can bars be installed on newly plastered walls?

Yes, but the fixing method must suit the wall. We check the surface during measurement and recommend a fixing that protects the fresh finish.

Should I choose iron or aluminum for security bars?

Iron offers strong security and suits most external openings when properly galvanized and coated. Aluminum is lighter and does not rust, so it can suit humid areas or lighter designs.

Do I need to be home for the measurement?

It helps to be there so you can point out the openings and discuss the layout. If that is not possible, share clear access details and photos in advance.

Common mistakes to avoid

The most common mistake is measuring before the renovation is finished, which leads to bars that no longer fit. Also avoid approving a drawing without checking the spacing and fixing points.

Our recommendation

Measure and approve after the final plaster and window installation, and choose hot-dip galvanized iron for exposed balconies. Confirm the spacing and escape-route requirements with your engineer before production.

Summary

Order security bars once the renovation openings are final, prepare clear photos, and approve a written drawing before production. This keeps the bars accurate, safe and easy to install.
