YOUR COMMENT WAS PURE INSULT TO ALL OF US

"I'm sorry I don't understand."-------Really the window size will be smaller-
Windows protector will be smaller--- smaller window more profit

Are we really dumb here that you don't get it

People need to stop trying to protect other smart ass people here

Call us mumu
bro eh this thing weak me. Oga Ty01 is asking me why I didn't adjust the measurements he gave me to be smaller so it will fit his windows probably because of the alumaco guy and manson has dressed the window thereby making it smaller

Since the advent of these integrated burglaries, aluminum guys do make more monies and they do all they can to oust a welder from site.

Talking from experience.

What’s your opinion on integrated burglaries?

Michlins was right to say it's an error in communication.

I guess the word "modification" is misinterpreted.

All he needed was the measurement of the window fabricator and he will align his own welded burglary to conform to the size making it more precise. I guess this was done based on the type of burglary to be welded and fixed.


Professionally not looking at design plans this is way better. Otherwise every artisan works his measurements and come and fix and tell the client na the measurement of the window I use as agreed. Then when the time for dressing window come the maosn man finds who to blame when the client complains of improper size not aligned.

I don’t like it and I’ve never done it before.

I’m happy to see my welder reduce my burglary size to perfectly fit into the window opening.

For big man house we always use BIG things. Hence the big figures coming from a big upscale window company.

Don’t be surprised I’ve received a quote of N8m for glass. It’s a detached duplex with 5 rooms pere.



I can imagine if GoodFaith sees that kind of quotation what will he be screaming grin grin grin

Just upload the recorded calls on the thread. Anyone interested will download it and interpret.

From now on just be careful with other artisans when working on any build for any client. Try and work as independently as you can to give the client the best.

Let me talk Generally on burglar bars
I’m not using this to support any side.
As I was thought in sch as building tech student then which I’m also putting into practice at site.

Case of burglar bars
Let assumed your block opening is 1200*1200
You need to reduce 25mm from all four sides of the WALL OPENINGS.( this is for plastering gauge)

Then you will also consider 15mm reductions from all 4 sides agains ( for alignment)

Now you will left with 25+15mm =40mm
You final burglar size to be delivered to the site will be 1160mm * 1160mm.

This also applicable to door.

now this is exactly the reason I spoke with the alumaco guy. When I went to site, they were still building the carcass and no plastering has been done. I only asked him to help me with his measurements since he's the last person there to save me some time. In a sane world, it's not a big ask to make from a fellow artisan but I guess we live in a crazy world.


Please everyone, I didn't work so hard,see me called a thief and dragged here only to ruin it over window burglaries.

I'm here for the long run

I never see your brake light for the other side. We need to be having short lectures like this once a while to educate ourselves on why we do what we do.
