Intruders have found that the easiest access points to a building where the windows and doors have been guarded and alarmed is through weak partition walls and through the roof. The right choice of mesh significantly reduces the speed at which a would be burglar can gain access. The mesh must have an opening small enough that it is very difficult to get a pair of bolt crop teeth into the mesh. This is why expanded is ideal for the purpose as appose to welded meshes. The diamond shape makes it very awkward to cut with anything other than noisy power tools that would draw attention. The design that is recommended for this purpose comes in 2 thickness the standard medium thickness which is suitable for most environments and the heavy duty version which will give you more time when being attacked with power tools. The normal finish is mild steel appearance is not important as it will not be seen Galvanized is advised for an area where there is a chance of damp. |
