Prioritize security without sacrificing design.

Introducing Clear-Guard Polycarbonate Window Slats, the innovative, revolutionary security barrier designed specifically for home or commercial windows with the visual appeal you’ve been waiting for.

Unmatched Clarity:

Clear-Guard features high-impact, 6mm thick polycarbonate slats housed within a sleek Aluminium frame. This unique design allows for maximum light penetration, meaning your home or workplace won’t feel like a jail. Unlike traditional steel bars, Clear-Guard doesn’t obstruct you view outdoors.

Superior Security & Peace of Mind:

Don’t be fooled by its transparency. Clear-Guard offers exceptional security. The 6mm thick polycarbonate slats are virtually unbreakable, acting as a formidable deterrent against robbery.

The slats pass through aluminium intermediate uprights with no visible fasteners on the outside. Uprights are attached top and bottom, and on the sides of the window frame. These upright members are slim profile with minimal bulkiness .

The slats are spaced vertically at 105mm (80mm gap) and horizontally have a maximum span of 800mm between supports, provides additional strength and stability.
(Windows bigger than this will have intermediate vertical supports mid-span, similar to the end posts)

Sleek Design & Customizable Appeal:

Clear-Guard does not reduce the aesthetics of your home or office. The clear polycarbonate slats and slim frame create a modern and sophisticated look that complements any style. Plus, you can customize the powder-coated aluminium frame either blend in nicely, or to perfectly match your colour scheme with a wide range of Dulux powder coat colours.

*Light transmission is derived from the polycarbonate spec sheet as 85%, but accounting for the space between slats the percentage is effectively 95%
** Effectiveness greatly enhanced by having more aluminium intermediate-uprights where possible.
*** Will usually be recommended in conjunction with additional security for your doorways.

Important:

Security level of Clear-Guard would be appropriate for any home application, and commercial office windows not in a store-front. For storefront applications we recommend our Invisi-Guard Polycarbonate system, as they are likely to face more violent attacks.
