When most people start looking for burglar bars, they usually have two concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They want to secure their home, but they don\u2019t want to lose the natural light, beautiful views, or modern look they have worked so hard to create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is exactly why Exolon\u00ae Clear Burglar Bars have become one of the fastest-growing security solutions in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But not all clear burglar bars are created equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are considering installing transparent security bars, here are ten things you should know before making your decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Exolon\u00ae is not just another plastic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the biggest misconceptions is that all clear burglar bars are the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They are not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exolon\u00ae is a premium German-engineered engineering material that has been developed for demanding applications where exceptional strength, clarity and durability are essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, the same family of engineering materials is trusted in industries such as aviation, aerospace, industrial safety equipment and machine guarding, where failure is simply not an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That is why SheerGuard chose Exolon\u00ae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not because it is the cheapest option\u2014but because it is one of the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Strength matters more than appearance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Clear burglar bars look light and almost invisible, but don\u2019t mistake that for weakness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SheerGuard Exolon\u00ae Clear Burglar Bars have been independently strength tested and have demonstrated performance that exceeds traditional steel burglar bars in impact testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The result is a security solution that offers exceptional resistance while maintaining a clean, modern appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because real security should never rely on appearance alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. They don\u2019t rust or corrode<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Traditional steel burglar bars require ongoing maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over time they can rust, chip, require repainting and deteriorate, particularly in coastal environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exolon\u00ae will not rust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Combined with high-quality aluminium components and stainless-steel fittings, it provides a long-lasting security solution designed for South African conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. The fastening system is just as important as the bars<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people focus only on the clear bars themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reality is that the installation system is equally important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SheerGuard uses a unique stainless-steel tamper-proof compression rivet fastening system that has been specifically designed to create an exceptionally strong connection between the Exolon\u00ae bars and the aluminium framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every component has been carefully selected to maximise strength and durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. They comply with insurance requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A security product should not only look impressive, it should meet recognised standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SheerGuard Exolon\u00ae Clear Burglar Bars are installed in accordance with insurance company spacing specifications, giving homeowners added confidence that their installation complies with recognised security requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. They let your home stay beautiful<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the biggest reasons homeowners choose Exolon\u00ae Clear Burglar Bars is simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They almost disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead of thick steel bars blocking your windows, you keep your natural light, uninterrupted views and the architectural character of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From the street, visitors often don\u2019t even realise security bars have been installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is security without compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. They are backed by a Lifetime UV Warranty<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n South African sunshine is relentless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lower-quality materials can become yellow, brittle or lose their clarity after years of UV exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because SheerGuard uses premium Exolon\u00ae, every installation is backed by a Lifetime UV Warranty, giving homeowners confidence that their investment will continue looking good for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 8. Exolon\u00ae does not support combustion like many people think<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people assume clear materials burn easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exolon\u00ae is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a high-performance engineering material with excellent fire performance characteristics. Rather than allowing flames to spread rapidly, Exolon\u00ae is designed to self-extinguish once the ignition source is removed and does not produce burning droplets under normal test conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This makes it a trusted material for demanding commercial and industrial applications around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9. Professional installation makes all the difference<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Even the strongest material can only perform as well as it is installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every SheerGuard installation is professionally measured, manufactured and fitted to suit the exact opening, ensuring the correct spacing, secure fixing points and a neat architectural finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Attention to detail is what separates a premium installation from an average one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
