Hi, I viewed a flat for sale and I noticed in one room a metal bar across the interior of the window opening which puzzled me. It didn't look strong enough to be structural/reinforcing, but didn't seem to be anything to do with the window/blinds and being a bit ugly I wondered if it was a sign of some reinforcement having been done. The other windows in the flat don't have this as they are french windows. Looking at photos of another flat in the block it also has one of these in one room. The wall outside is brick and opens onto a balcony (so it's not a bar to stop people falling out of the window!). Any ideas would be great! Thanks!!! The picture is here
