Want to help burglar proof your home? Secure your windows and doors.
You wouldn’t leave your car unlocked or drive around without insurance, so why leave your home open to unwelcome intruders? As a homeowner, security should be a top priority. Security not only safeguards your personal possessions but also protect yourself and your family.
With burglaries on the rise here in the UK, ensuring your property is secure has never been more important. You can improve the security of your home by upgrading your windows and doors and ensuring you have the latest security features such as multi-point locking systems.
Vulnerable Entry Points
Your windows and doors are the two main entry points to your home. For that reason, it is absolutely crucial your windows and doors are up-to-date. That way you can benefit from the convenience of modern security technology. It also pays to consider your material of choice when installing both new windows and doors or replacing old ones.
Doors
As the primary entry and exit point for unwelcome intruders, it is vital that your doors are secure. Adequate locking systems and other security fixtures are pivotal in keeping your family safe and secure inside while keeping potential burglars locked out in the cold where they belong.
It is recommended that your door is at least 45mm thick and fitted with a 5 lever mortice deadlock, with a frame strong enough to withstand a sustained attack.
Composite doors are highly secure, with solid timber cores that have proven to withstand repeated attacks with a sledgehammer. Covered in durable thermoplastic skin, composite doors are resistant to both adverse weather and unwelcome intruders.
Windows
The secondary entry and exit point for your property is your windows. While windows are a fantastic way to create wide vistas of your exterior spaces and maximise natural light, ensuring your windows have up to date multi-point locking mechanisms and resilient double glazing is crucial when securing your property.
uPVC windows and doors
uPVC is available in a wide range of styles and colour options. The material is an incredibly popular choice on the window and door market. Highly secure and engineered for optimal energy efficiency, uPVC windows and doors come with multi-point locking systems and are manufactured with durability and strength in mind.
