 Posted: Thu Feb 15, 2018 12:46 pm Post subject: Jalouise Window Corner Guards |
 |
|
It's been many years and I'm sure somewhere on here I had seen a post about some guards on the Jalouise window corners. It helped alleviate some of the pain of nailing them in your head or clipping your shoulder. They were mounted on the corners of each window pane with screws or rivets if I remember correct. I've searched the last 30 minutes here using "Jalouise Guards, Window Guards". Anyone else have the link to them?
The picture is from a friend in Germany who has one window with them on. Still would like to read the thread where I saw them first years ago. Are these a rare option or homemade?

A couple of years back, someone on here did a run of repros in stainless.
I don't recall who it was but I'd be willing to part with the set I bought., as I decided that I hate those windows anyway.
I'll look around for details.

Thanks for the response. My friend in Germany just finished some up for me that he made. He's mailing them tomorrow. I would be interested in your sets of them too as I have a friend who would like them on his. ILL PM you. Still want to read the post from years ago if anyone has the link.

| I still have a scar on my shoulder from running into mine. Hopped out the sliding door and bang! Took a big scoop out of my skin there. Funny hearing it’s a thing. |
