A metal visor is also attached from above, which will protect the air conditioner from falling ice and large objects.
The air conditioner with anti-vandal grille is reliably protected from attempts to pick it, break it or steal it.
The grill is attached to the wall with powerful bolts. To dismantle it, special equipment is needed. Which is hardly worn by street bullies.
Air conditioning grilles look very neat, do not spoil the facade of the building. All components are factory painted white with moisture-resistant powder paint. Therefore, it will not be necessary to paint it for at least 5 years. Bolts and screws for attaching to the wall, most often, have to be purchased separately. Indeed, for different types of wall materials they are different.
Custom anti-vandal grille
To conditioner with anti-vandal grille even became a kind of decoration of the facade, you can order a design of any design. As a rule, decorative lattices with curls, monograms and intricate forged patterns are made without visors. Their color depends on the wishes of the customer. For air conditioners located directly above the sidewalk, they build a kind of boxes, the front wall of which is covered with a decorative grill. The roof is sheet metal, and the sides are static metal shutters. This will protect the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

Therefore, before going to the store, it is necessary to measure the dimensions of the external module.
The price of the anti-vandal grille for the external unit of the air conditioner ranges from 2.5 thousand to 6.5 thousand rubles. Some firms make lattices of any size to order.
