17 Sep MD Clear Polycarbonate Bars for KZN Home Security
MD Clear polycarbonate burglar bars block both wildlife and human intruders in the KZN Midlands by creating a virtually unbreakable, transparent physical barrier over window openings. By installing these high-tensile clear strips, homeowners can stop invasive vervet monkeys or baboons from entering in search of food and prevent opportunistic criminals from gaining entry, all without blocking the scenic views of the Midlands. The secret lies in the structural strength of polycarbonate, which offers high impact resistance while remaining completely see-through. Let us look at how these clear guards protect local properties.
The Double Defence Against Wildlife And Intruders
Properties in areas like Hilton, Howick, and Nottingham Road often face a unique dual threat: opportunistic home invaders and clever local wildlife. Vervet monkeys in the KZN Midlands have become highly accustomed to human habits, routinely entering open windows to raid kitchens. MD Clear burglar bars solve this problem by closing the entry gap while letting in fresh air and natural light. To safeguard your home, choose the physical security systems from Gorilla Door to secure every open window frame.
These transparent guards are spaced specifically to prevent even small monkeys from squeezing through. Homeowners benefit from several protective features:
- Narrow spacing prevents pests and wildlife from squeezing between the bars
- Extreme tensile strength resists cutting, kicking, or blunt force attacks
- UV-stabilised material ensures the bars do not yellow or weaken under the sun
Engineering Strength Without Sacrificing The View
Unlike traditional steel bars that can make a home feel enclosed, clear polycarbonate bars maintain the open aesthetic of your property. This is highly valued in the Midlands, where green hills and mist belt views are key features of local homes. Choosing polycarbonate over traditional metal burglar bars provides several practical advantages for the Midlands climate:
- Total resistance to rust and oxidation caused by mist and high humidity
- Unobstructed views of the rolling hills and natural surrounds
- Maximum light transmission to keep interior spaces bright and welcoming
High Impact Resistance
Polycarbonate is incredibly tough, boasting an impact resistance many times greater than glass or standard acrylic. This means that even if a large baboon throws its weight against the window, or an intruder uses a heavy tool, the bars flex slightly to absorb the impact without snapping.
Rust and Weather Proofing
The humid mist belt of KZN can cause traditional iron and steel burglar guards to rust quickly, leaving unsightly orange streaks and weak points. Polycarbonate does not rust, corrode, or react to coastal humidity, making it an incredibly durable choice for long-term security in the region.
How Installation Methods Optimise Security
Proper installation is key to ensuring that clear bars perform under pressure. Without a secure anchor point, even the strongest material can be dislodged by a determined intruder or a clever wild animal.
Professional installers utilise specific techniques to mount MD Clear guards securely:
- Direct frame mounting into aluminium or wooden window frames using industrial fasteners
- Structural channel installation that recesses the bars into heavy-duty aluminium tracks
- Expansion-allowance drilling to ensure that temperature changes do not warp the bars

FAQs
Can monkeys break polycarbonate burglar bars?
No, monkeys cannot break or bend high-quality polycarbonate bars. The tensile strength of MD Clear bars is exceptionally high, meaning even the largest male baboons or vervet monkeys cannot snap or pull them apart to gain entry.
Do clear burglar bars turn yellow over time?
Our MD Clear bars are manufactured with advanced UV-stabilised polycarbonate. This special coating protects the material from the harsh South African sun, preventing the yellowing, clouding, or brittleness associated with cheaper plastic alternatives.
How do you clean polycarbonate burglar guards?
To maintain their transparent clarity, simply wash them down with warm, soapy water and a soft microfibre cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive scrubbers, or ammonia-based products, which can scratch the surface.
Are clear bars as strong as steel burglar bars?
While steel is stiffer, polycarbonate offers incredible impact absorption. MD Clear bars are highly flexible and virtually unbreakable, presenting a massive obstacle to intruders who attempt to cut or force their way through a window.
