Burglar Bars
Cottage Pane Burglar Bars
10mm round vertical bars on 19mm steel horizontals, every bar epoxied 50mm into the wall. A classic pane pattern that holds far better than it looks.
Cottage pane burglar bars are steel bars set in a pane pattern, with 10mm round vertical bars running between 19mm steel horizontals, so a window keeps the divided, traditional look it was built with. Every bar is set 50mm into the wall on all sides and locked in with epoxy, which makes them considerably harder to get through than ordinary burglar bars.
The epoxy is what sets these apart. Most burglar bars are held by the depth of their fixing alone, so drilling out or levering that fixing frees the bar. Here each bar goes 50mm into the wall and is then chemically locked into the hole, so the bar and the masonry behave as one piece. There is no mechanical fixing to work loose, because there is no mechanical fixing to attack.
Anchoring on all sides counts as much as the depth. The bars go into the wall top, bottom, and both sides, not only at the head and sill. That leaves no free edge to lever against, and no run of bar that can be sprung out of the opening while the rest stays put.
This is the traditional choice on looks. The pane pattern suits cottage-pane and Georgian windows, older houses, and anywhere a plain horizontal run would look wrong against the architecture. The finish is rust-proofed and powder-coated, and can be matched to your property’s colour scheme, so the bars follow the frames instead of fighting them.

Benefits
-
Locked in with epoxy
Every bar is set 50mm into the wall and then locked in with epoxy. There is no mechanical fitting to drill out, because the bar is chemically bonded into the masonry, and that has proven a very strong way to fix a bar.
-
Anchored on all sides
The bars go into the wall top, bottom, and both sides, not just at the head and sill. With no free edge, there is nothing to lever against and no run that can be sprung out while the rest holds.
-
19mm and 10mm steel
19mm steel horizontal bars carry the frame of the pattern, and 10mm round vertical steel bars fill it. The round verticals are what give cottage pane its period look rather than a caged one.
-
Maintains aesthetics
The pane pattern suits cottage-pane and Georgian windows and older architecture, where a plain horizontal run would read as an afterthought bolted across the glass.
-
Rust-proofed and powder-coated
The bars are rust-proofed beneath a powder-coated finish that adds longevity and can be matched to your property’s colour scheme.

Payment terms available
