Could we not find a useful job for Window? As Window has experience of being a window could Window still be a window even if window looks somewhere new or has decorative iron work to share the window space? |

What about a nice stain glass window. Any suggestions for a theme, Maybe the club badge or a target? |

That would be nice, with the club badge (in glass of course before anyone asks). |

The original reason for blocking in the window was because it would be a weak point which would need security shuttering, at extra unnecessary expense, and it's really not needed for light. |

Guess the best thing to do is brick it up then, but wont that look a bit odd with different/newer bricks? |

The cost of removing and filling the hole with matching materials would not be much different to a new window with a boxed in roller shutter. But even then a window with toughened security glass would be sufficient to delay and deter an intruder for some significant time whilst the alarm system is playing its happy tune to give them a headache. Couple that with an auto dialler on the alarm summoning assistance and its well covered. The topic is drifting into security issues. So I will throw in an idea of a pre-announce system, you may have experienced them on car sales forecourts. I would suggest that on detection of someone on the premises it announces a message informing the person that they have been recorded on CCTV which has been recorded remotely off the site, They are asked to leave now or the system will enter a full alarm condition. This will give sufficient time for a legitimate person to enter and disable the alarm. With a phone line and internet access all this is possible and is off the shelf DIY equipment.

For stain glass complying with current building regs for thermal and security take a look at this link. http://www.buildingconservation.com/directory/prodlist.php?category=Grilles%2C+security%2Fwindow+protection |
