What do do shod grids of?
Any metal which is subject to forging can become raw materials for production of grids. But, most often use iron rod with square section.

- classical;
- Gothic;
- modernist style;
On windows the shod grids are most often mounted in window aperture that looks good visually and reliably protects. The grid fastens to walls of the house or fence by means of welding. There are still so-called laid on grids. To fix them quicker, but they here protect many times worse. In wall openings become, there then insert anchor and by means of cement slurry assembly elements of shod grid are fixed. Further by means of the same welding the grid fastens. If desired, the design can be cut off. Therefore if the grid intends in the protective, but not decorative purposes, it is better to give preference to the first mounting mode.
The shod grid will make even the most sad building interesting. Many options weaving, thickness and heights allow to choose easily product according to the interests.
