Armed Bars

What are Armed Bars?

Armed Bars are transparent burglar bars fitted with Smart Bar technology that has the impressive ability to protect the home and inhabitants with physically strong, clear bars that are integrated with a 24/7 active alarm monitoring system. This will provide the client with a permanent armed perimeter protection.

These aesthetically pleasing physical security barriers completely eliminate the imposing prison-like feel, that traditional, “third world” metal security barriers give. Armed Bars will provide the customer with the kind of freedom they deserve.

Transparent Burglar Bars Fixing Options

The fixing position of the polycarbonate bars is known to be the weakest point of the installation.

Therefore is it important that the customers are informed on the options available and understand the value of each range.

The AluRail fixing system is a specialized extruded aluminium profile that is designed to improve the fixing strength of the polycarbonate bars.

Direct fitment was the norm to install polycarbonate bars to the window frames, but this method had some challenges. Therefore ViewProtect invested in the development of a stronger fitment option for the industry and came-up with the advanced AluRail system.

During our testing period, we identified that the AluRail will not only improve the fixing strength but also the aesthetical look of the fixing of the bars.

Tests that were performed by the University of Stellenbosch Structural Engineering facility, shows that the AluRail improve the fixing strength with up to 28%.

The AluRail system is used for the installation of the safety as well as the Armed Bars.

The AluRail benefits are as follow:

• Aesthetically pleasing;
• Stronger fitment due to clamping of the bars between AluRail sides;
• AluRail improve strength by creating a solid unit with bars;
• No fixtures or wires visible;
• Can be premanufactured off-site before installation;
• No more holes in window frames required;
• Bars receive tension during installation;
• HotLock can be installed.

The EziBar is an economical option to protect your loved ones with ViewProtect patented Smart Bar technology. This product was developed to save manufacturing and installation cost and therefore we can provide our customers with a more secure option than the safety bars as well as saving them money.

ViewProtect has again raised the bar in the physical security industry by developing the EziBar. This product includes the Smart Bar technology that will provide the customer with a 24/7 alarm protection without activating any accidental false alarms. The sleek design of the EziBar makes it possible to provide the ultimate protection at the lowest price and allow more options to the customer when window trimmings (blinds, shutters, curtains, etc) need to be installed.

Further savings are possible by adding a specially designed magnetic switch on fixed glass panes that are connected to the EziBar unit. This limits the need for additional bars on these windows. The alarm will be triggered should the fixed glass pane be removed during an attempted burglary.
