In
Mexico, door and window designs are for
securit y.
Typically, bars are placed about every 17cm. to deter theft. I try
to come up with designs that don't look like church or jail windows
and that have large opening sections.
I have designed about 20 doors using an iron framework with hammered
iron sheet, ferro-cement, and lightweight aggregate. These doors
are heavy (about like a solid oak door) so they need to be well-hinged
and hung. They could be fire rated to serve as the "other" door
in a garage. They may have a market in upscale garden construction.
All metal screen doors may have possibilities.
My doors and windows here in Mexico are single glazed and are suited to the climate. They can present energy code problems when used in other countries. |
