Barrel window bars – only at SoragDoor, because there are no compromises on safety!
Almost every home has window bars – they protect against break-ins, keep children safe and prevent falls. A barrel bar curves outward like half a barrel: a designed bar that avoids any closed-in feeling, with space between window and bars for planters, flower pots or decorations. SoragDoor offers a variety of barrel bar designs, backed by years of experience and knowledge in building quality, safe bars. Countless customers already enjoy them – get in touch and join them.
Nine excellent tips for a successful purchase
√ Don’t settle for pictures – ask to see bars the company has installed. You can talk to the residents and hear their recommendations first-hand.
√ Pay attention to strength: barrel bars meant to prevent burglary should be twelve to fourteen millimeters thick. Square profiles are harder to saw – prefer them if you live on a ground floor or in a private house.
√ Buy galvanized bars. Galvanizing prevents rust and corrosion – it costs a little more but keeps the bars durable for years.
√ Insist on a warranty – especially against rust. A professional unwilling to guarantee his product does not believe in it.
√ Check the material: solid rods, not hollow ones, determine durability. Solid bars are harder to saw, more durable and safer.
√ Make sure the bars are fixed to the wall. Per the Standards Institute, every set of bars must withstand a sixty-five kilogram load – and wall fixing largely determines that capacity.
√ Compare prices, but remember: with safety products, quality comes before price.
√ Design matters. SoragDoor offers barrel bars in countless special designs that give every room a luxurious look.
√ Choose a color suited to the Israeli climate and strong sun – one that will not fade and will stay fresh for years.
Non-standard bars can be dangerous
Bars usually save lives – but bars not manufactured to the Israeli standard can endanger them.
One summer in Nof HaGalil, a family that had just bought a new apartment installed bars that did not meet the standard.
The standard requires gaps of no more than ten centimeters, so a child’s head cannot get stuck between the bars.
The mother, busy preparing lunch, heard screams from the balcony – her toddler’s head was stuck between the bars.
This story ended well: a neighbor arrived with tools, widened the gap and freed the child. Not every story does.
Take the guidelines seriously – buy your bars from a reputable company.
