What Are The Benefits Of Stained and Leaded Glass Window Guards

In this blog, we’ll explore the different benefits that window guards can have on your stained and leaded glass windows. Window guards are metal or aluminium screens that are installed on the exterior of your windows and provide many benefits. Some of which include:

Prevents window damage

Leaded and stained glass windows are delicate and can be easily damaged by impact from objects hitting the window or harsh weather conditions. Having guards can protect your window from situations such as flying debris, hail, vandalism, and more. The physical barrier of the guard prevents anything from coming into direct contact with the glass to reduce the risk of breakage and subsequent cost of leaded window or stained glass repair.

Added security measure

When trying to enter your home, intruders can target easily breakable areas of your home, such as stained or leaded glass windows. Having your windows unprotected means that they can be easily tampered with or broken. By installing window guards, there is an added layer of security to protect your home and belongings from any unwanted visitors.

Increases safety

Another benefit of window guards is that they increase safety. Not only do they protect against people getting inside the house, but they also prevent people from falling out. If you have young children or pets, having guards on your windows creates a protective barrier that minimises the risk of injury from any accidental trips or falls. The strong and durable guards take away the worry of your child getting too close to the window and provide peace of mind.  

Protects the heritage

If you have historic leaded or stained glass windows as part of your home, installing guards can maintain the historic, cultural, or artistic value of your windows. Their long-lasting protection helps to preserve important heritage pieces that could be damaged by accidents and weather conditions. It can also become difficult to have your stained glass repaired if it becomes too damaged, so having an extra layer of preservation is beneficial.

Maintains the structure of the window

The metal rods that are part of the stained and leaded glass windows can begin to weaken over time. However, window guards can reduce the pressure put on the windows which can make them weaken faster. They help to maintain the overall structure by protecting the glass from warping or sagging. Having your windows stay stronger for longer, will minimise the maintenance that your windows will need.
