Hi
I am looking at a groundfloor flat, trouble is the windows are nearly the size of patio doors and the top half hinges open (hinged at top, basically like a big cat flap), obviously easily big enough for someone to hop in, or at best for the local rabble to put fag ends or whatever they choose through.
I like to sleep with a window open so obviously this leaves a big security concern.
I cannot fit window bars internal or external as these would require drilling.
So i wondered if anyone has had similar situation and if with your welder you came up with some ingenious solution!?
I have considered window stays to restrict the opening but there not really going to be secure enough.
I was considering making a grille that can be locked into the window mechanism, almost like a door wedge shape if that makes sense, that could fit in the apeture. I have had look for removable window grilles but most require some sort of brickwork fixing.
any constructive ideas welcomed!
