mex2bad: God bless you real good! "NOTHING" is IMPOSSIBLE.......... if we are ready to think outside the "box". Just look at the neatness, the straight lines, not to mention the reduced weight and cost! Way to go joor! I hope "Builder Kowope" has learned something instead of using "cut & paste" pictures/mnemonics to abuse me? Nobody knows it all. ![]() ![]() Lastpage! 3 Likes

I just pray Nigeria and africa will be crime free soon so that we won't care much about security in our houses. A family of 7 just got burnt while trapped in their house due to no exit. All you need in your house abroad is just a sliding glass but here in nja, we buy the most strongest burglaries to keep us safe from criminals. From the picture attached, you will notice the fire was from the kitchen. an emergency exit door would have saved them. 2 Likes

agarawu23: Don't blame burglary proof we use on our windows and doorways. Some of our people are just plainly stupid. Look at the gas cylinders in the picture you posted and tell me who in their right mind have gas cylinders in their kitchen. Gas cylinders are meant to be outdoor and not be stored in the kitchen. I'm not a fan of burglary proof though. 2 Likes |

FastShipping:exactly, mere looking at the kitchen with the position of the gas, you will know where the fire came from. Most houses in Nigeria still put their cylinder in their kitchen. |

I'm not rushing to get the same old burglary window until I've exhausted all other options. I've said it once and I'll say it again, the idea makes me break out in sweat. Sure, burglary isn't the cause of fires, buts it's a contributor to death in fires. |

In the building industry, there's no such thing as impossible. If it can be dreamt, it can be built. |

When buying or having a home built, it is important to take windows into consideration. Windows provide our homes with light, warmth, and ventilation, but they can also negatively impact a home’s energy efficiency.Good windows will bring out the beauty of your home and likewise a bad window will make your house very ugly.People taking pride in the appearance of their home goes back as long as we can remember. In many ways, our home becomes an extension of who we are. Doors and, in particular, your Windows, are the first thing family and friends see when they pay you a visit and that first impression is incredibly hard to shift. Why you should Choose PVC Windows 1. PVC windows are the Number One in energy efficiency The frame of a window plays a decisive role in promoting energy and cost-efficient thermal insulation. Window profiles made of PVC score top marks when compared with aluminium or wooden windows. They have better insulation values and are able to reduce energy and heating costs. There is a particularly high energy saving potential when using PVC window frames in the passive house standard. Today, passive house windows can be manufactured efficiently and cost-effectively using state-of-the-art PVC profiles and the now quite common triple glazing. 2. PVC windows have a very good cost-benefit ratio PVC windows offer clear-cut cost advantages, both in procurement and throughout the entire life cycle. Timber frames are approximately 20-30 % more expensive than PVC profiles, and aluminium windows cost 30 % more again representing the most expensive alternative. Based on the high energy-saving potential and minimal maintenance throughout the entire service life of more than 50 years, costs are also saved in the long-term. 3. PVC windows are easy to care for High quality PVC windows are extremely easy to care for and require minimal maintenance. Wooden windows, on the other hand, have to be glazed just about every two years and painted every 5 years. State-of-the-art PVC granule is extremely resistant to weather conditions and light-fast. To clean the window frames all you need is dishwashing liquid due to the easy-care properties of the smooth profile surfaces. You will find more information on the care of PVC windows on our Info Page Tips on caring for PVC windows. 4. PVC windows are remarkably durable As opposed to windows made of wood PVC windows have a particularly long service life. High quality windows stand out with their distortion resistance and high level of functionality for years and years. Based on their long service live of at least 50 years PVC windows are an excellent investment, also with regard to maintaining a property’s value. 5. PVC windows boast an excellent eco balance PVC windows are 100 % recyclable and therefore resource-saving. 40 % of all gas and oil reserves in the world are used for heating and for supplying energy to buildings, whereas just 4 % go into the production of plastics of which just 1 % are used for PVC. Besides being recyclable, the durability and low levels of pollution during the production of PVC profiles help produce an excellent eco-balance and contribute towards protection of the environment. PVC windows last much longer than wooden windows and consume substantially less energy during the manufacturing process.

FastShipping: Infact, he should have complimented it with a Costing of various sizes of the PVC Windows. But l think l know what he is talking about. It is those Whitish, rubber-looking window frames used Abroad (mainly). We dont particularly have "insulation" as our greatest priority, when installing Doors and Windows! Our first priority is not even beauty, but SECURITY! You dont want "badt boyz" using ordinary screw-drives to remove your window... in broad-day light! ![]() ![]() In advance Climes, once they pass the "public perimeter" and step inside your space, alrm automatically notifies the Police station and before they can locate a window, Police is asking them to FREEZE .... or be SHOT! You even have the option of shooting them yourself, when you 'stand your ground'! So, they can afford to place "aesthetics and insulation" as top priority But in Nigeria, its sad watching people being held at the mercy of criminals for as long as 8hours.... without any HELP! ![]() ![]() Having said all the above, one can still use it and incorporate 'iron bars" on the window. It will reduce the aesthetics but there is always a way out. Lastpage! |

5X4 uPVC window was quoted to me for N37,500 out of Abuja. Of course no burglary. I'm still on the fence between plastic and aluminum. I've used plastic window to retrofit a house here in SoCal but can't remember why I chose plastic over aluminum. |

FastShipping: 5 years running without burglary in the guest area of my chateau. Any masked men who could breach level 1 & 2 security without awakening the dogs and the motion detectors must be a Tom Cruise. No single burglar proof in the guest area not even the kitchen and ancilliary rooms. #CeaseFire #WeCanStillBeFriendsYouKnow

n3xt:is there any material that can be used to disguise as burglary but can be removable without stress? We can just use it in one of the rooms in our house as escape route incase of any kasala and only family members will know its an escape route to avoid intruder noticing. Is there any? |

I've been doing some research on what we discussed last week, cement block. Despite the fact that the "Big Boys" use the same QT10 Chinese automated block machine, the end product is still not up to par. The Nigerian blocks that came out of the machine still pales in comparison to the blocks that came out of the sample QT10 machines in China. Is it us or the materials that we use? Is it intentional or lack of adequate training? For anyone interested, please read this valuable blog. https://cementtrust./2013/06/27/cart-aways-report-on-nigerian-block-production/ #RequestDenied #NoRetreatNoSurrender 1 Like |

agarawu23: Yes, there is. Over here it is against the law to have burglary proof that can't be removed from the inside by a child or disabled person. I will work with a local welder when I am home next. https://www.goodbarsecurity.com/quick-release-window-bars.html |

agarawu23: There's no point disguising. You only need a good fire exclusion strategy and good security system. All my rooms run on DC Power from the Solar-Powered inverter. Unless there's a serious fire I really don't know what will cause spread of fire from room to room. They all have POP, fire-rated laminated floors and tiles and mainboard is placed in the lobby. I really don't want to share this floor plan until I'm sure the coast is clear and the enemies camp don cease fire ![]() The guest area is completely cut off from the family area. #What'sAtStake

Hopefully the welder will have idea. for example, a burglary that can be fixed witb screews and can be easily unscreew in case of emergency. Or steels that will look like iron but can bend easily. |
