625 Celeste St Suite 504-E,
When people think of the best place to secure your home, they don’t often think of windows, beyond, perhaps, adding an extra lock. Danger from UV rays is rarely considered, and cleaning can be a nightmare.
Here’s the truth: there are more pressing security issues than adding a lock to your window. Big Easy Iron Works, as a premier provider of New Orleans security windows, we work to make sure our clients’ windows guard against many types of threats, including but not limited to split screens and shattered windows.
Many of these options are invisible or aesthetically attractive as well as secure, and some even block harmful UV rays (that can heat your home and cause skin damage).
We even have security-minded designs that can be tilted inward for easier cleaning, which is especially helpful for second and third-story windows. And if you have young children, your windows may benefit from window guards: metal devices that fit into your window and keep children from dangerously falling out.
Your home is your castle, let us help keep it protected, so check out our windows in New Orleans.
Read on to learn about the types of security windows we offer or give us a call today. We’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have or give you a free quote on new window installation for your home.
“Security windows” is a term that encompasses a wide variety of window improvements that can increase your home safety, including but not limited to:
A few of the most popular include security window bars, tinting, window guards, security screens, and wrought iron windows. Below, you’ll find some details on these custom security windows services.
If you want increased privacy without obstructing your view, consider tinting your home windows. Window tinting doesn’t necessarily obstruct light significantly, with modern window tinting films comes in a variety of grades, including darker and lighter shades.
Not only will these films increase your privacy, but they’ll increase your safety against harmful UV rays (and boost your home’s energy efficiency). UV rays can be responsible for a variety of skin problems, including skin cancer. By installing window tinting, you can protect yourself and your family from UV rays, keep intruders from watching your family life, and cool down your home.
Cars are a common place to be exposed to UV radiation. To protect you from radiation even while driving, we also install mobile tinting for car windows. Call us to learn more about how we can protect you both on the road and at home with our tinting services!
If you have young children, they’re probably curious. They may enjoy opening windows to look outside. They likely don’t realize the danger of leaning out of the window too far. Likewise, these windows can present the perfect opportunity for would-be robbers to break-in.
To provide peace of mind for parents and grandparents alike, we offer window guards to prevent children from falling from windows.
Window guards are screens or metal devices added to the lower portion of a window to keep children from falling out. Even a first-floor fall can seriously injure or kill a child, so if you have a young child in your family, window guards are a must.
Hearing a window shatter (often the first sound of a burglary) is every family’s nightmare. There are a variety of options for preventing a window from shattering, including security films, but a favorite option of our clients is security screens. Security screens provide security window features for New Orleans windows while allowing for ventilation.
It’s hot here in Louisiana. Many of us like to sleep with our windows open, so having a shatterproof film over your window glass might not be an effective measure of protection against burglary.
However, a security screen can protect you even if your window is open at night.
Security screens’ mesh material is made of a powerful metal alloy (the specific alloy used differs from screen to screen) and holds up to knives, crowbars, bats, mallets, and sometimes even gunshots.
We all hope we will never need a screen to protect ourselves against intruders who would carry those types of weapons, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry. A security screen can give you the freedom of airflow in your home while providing protection against intruders.
As an iron works company in the area, we’re proud of the beautiful wrought iron security windows that we create for our clients. All our custom wrought ironwork is created for you, in-house, right here using only quality materials.
These residential Metal security windows can be infused with beautiful designs to match your home’s aesthetic, from floral patterns, to ornate designs, to traditional crosshatch bars.
Even if an intruder smashes your glass, they wouldn’t be able to break through your wrought iron window bars easily. These windows provide a strong deterrent and safety feature that can give you and your loved one’s peace of mind.
We don’t just offer security features for windows; we also provide homeowners with windows in many different styles.
For example, our double-hung windows allow easy cleaning of both the inside and outside of the window. The pane of these windows tilts in, allowing you to simply wipe down the outside surface before returning the window to its original position. You won’t need to climb a ladder to clean your windows anymore!
