Window Guards
Woven Wire is the standard of protection for gymnasium windows and lends itself readily to any style of window construction. These window guards have proven their ability to protect stores, churches, schools, homes, and factories against thievery and breakage of glass and fire embers over a period of years. When constructed properly, they will last the life of the building.
We custom-fabricate for your desired opening. Kenco Wire & Iron Products Inc. recommends hot dipped galvanized after fabrication. We can also paint over galvanized to match your window trim to give an architectural blend with the windows and building. Polyester Powder Coating and other coatings are available.
