Transparent Burglar Bars & Gates by Magnaview

TRANSPARENT BURGLAR BARS THAT DON’T COMPROMISE ON VIEW OR STRENGTH

Magnaview Clear Burglar Bars – this is our modern security alternative for the home or office where one’s view of the outside world requires as much consideration as that of the safety of the people and contents on the inside. Magnaview clear burglar bars are made of a transparent polycarbonate construct which offers a security barrier – stronger than it would appear – while simultaneously affording unobstructed views through one’s windows.

Magnaview clear bars are appropriate for use in medium risk security areas or as a complementary adjunct to some or other more-stringent security measure, and as such, would be ideally suited to the windows of: homes in lifestyle and security estates, golf estates and gated communities; office buildings and offices in secured office parks; guest houses and other holiday accommodation; home and business windows above street level, or those windows limited in exposure to direct entry (such as windows overlooking a courtyard).

Magnaview clear bars are the perfect solution for homes situated in monkey and baboon problem areas, and especially worth considering for those living in coastal areas where the corrosive effects of the climate are mitigated by the use of polycarbonate bars (which do not rust) over traditional rust-prone steel ones.

The Clear View Swing Gate

This gate is made up with a 38 x 38mm outer steel frame, with all the same fittings as our other gates, an inner frame of 25 x 25mm steel tube is secured to the 38 x 38 mm frame, the polycarbonate strips of 50 x 5 are attached to the 25 x 25 mm steel tubes with our unique application of stainless steel domed bolts, stainless steel 1.6 thick washer, and fastened into rivnuts that are secured to the 25 x 25 frame.

An attractive, secure alternate see through swing gate with a view.

In summary, the key advantage of our polycarbonate bars lies in the expertise applied to its engineering and installation methodology – it’s the added security we provide.

The Magnaview Difference

The polycarbonate strip we use is among the thickest (5mm) and broadest (50mm) in the industry and offers the added resilience corresponding to those robust dimensions.
We have insisted on using polycarbonate with the highest UHI (Ultra High Impact) rating of 100. It also provides an outer layer of ultraviolet/UV protection on both sides, thereby resisting the yellowing effects of sunlight.
We ensure that the fitting of our clear Magnaview bars is secured to fully galvanised steel tubes using stainless-steel button-head screws fastened to zinc-plated rivnuts. It is these steel tubes, framing the bars, which are in turn securely bolted (using coach screws and UL8 Rawl plugs) to the window reveal. This extra security measure stands in contrast to the conventional industry practice of simply fixing the polycarbonate bars directly to the aluminium or wooden window frames.
A stainless-steel washer, 1.6mm gauge, is placed at each of these fixings, between the domed head of the screw and the bar itself, to reinforce the fixing joint when under attack.
Galvanised steel parts provide the strength and protection from rusting to ensure the long-term integrity of the fastened bars, so that under assault, the fixings do not just simply pull out (the whole being only as strong as its weakest part).
The steel tubes are Polyester powder coated in one of a choice of colours for an attractive, fade-resistant finish.
The space between the bars is limited to approximately 100 mm (or 150 mm from fixing to fixing). The advantage of this layout is that it limits the space in which a handsaw or bolt-cutters can be placed, thus reducing the likelihood of tampering.
We have extended our 5-year break-in repair guarantee to the Magnaview security bars.
