Reliable Security Windows & Security Window Covers
While the holiday period is not yet here, you would surely wish to be able to leave with complete peace of mind. For this, it is preferable to secure your entire house, especially openings such as doors and, more particularly, windows.
Several solutions are available to you to combine with skill and ingenuity security and the fight against burglary.
Reinforcement of glazing with laminated glass
One of the solutions when it comes to window security is to focus on improving your glazing accordingly.
It is an operation which can be expensive, but which is extremely efficient and reliable. Your security is priceless, and that is why replacing your current glazing with burglar-resistant glass becomes such a rich idea.
Note now that there is an option with security films that can be affixed to the existing glazing for those on a limited budget. This solution allows you to leave pieces of glass glued to the film during an impact, making it more difficult for a burglar to intrude.
Laminated safety glass
The laminated safety glass is double reinforced glass designed to avoid that one is injured in the event of glass breakage. It is also a great solution to delay any intrusion.
Concretely, this glazing consists of two or more panes assembled by resistant transparent films (PVB).
With this type of glazing, the pieces of glass remain stuck to the films, which delays any burglar's intrusion.
While a break-in attempt lasts on average 3 minutes, the resistance time depends on its performance. With a single or even ordinary double glazing, the break-in is done in 30 seconds at most. With the laminated security glass, this drops to 6 minutes, which strongly discourages most burglars.
Reinforcement of shutters
Here is another essential step to reinforce the safety of your joinery.
Strengthening your shutters is not a step to be taken lightly, and to do that, you have two options:
Installation of a side safety bar
The installation of new shutters such as bayonet shutters or lock shutters or merely installing an engine.
Security bars
The security bar will mainly be used to limit shocks and breakages on the shutter itself. This bar is usually made of metal, and it usually fits over several removable media.
These security bars are metal rods that fit perfectly into the thickness of the shutters. There are some for single- leaf shutters, two-leaf shutters, but also louvred shutters.
Here is a very effective solution that deters any intrusion attempt. However, this solution is not very aesthetic because it removes charm from the windows.
However, we recommend this option for joinery in shower rooms such as bathrooms or toilets.
Rolling shutters
When it comes to accessories, the choice is yours.
The first solution may be to motorize your shutters. You thus gain in protection, security, but also in comfort. This is particularly the case with roller shutters, which often have options that traditional shutters do not have.
This can be an anti-lift system, an anti-picking system, an automatic locking system, etc.
Also, the blades of roller shutters can be reinforced to increase resistance.
Strengthen the pre-framework
By strengthening the frame of your windows, you improve their resistance to a possible intrusion.
It is, in fact, an aluminium frame that is positioned on the outline of the chassis. This considerably reduces the debonding of your window sashes, without forgetting that it improves thermal insulation.
Locks and locking systems
To improve the security of your openings and fight against break-ins, fitting an adequate lock makes it possible to gain efficiency.
There are many possibilities in locks and bolts, such as the key lock, the sliding lock, and the sash lock.
You can also add a lock to your joinery. If possible, opt for a keyed back-up lock model to make the attempted break-in more difficult.
Another solution to fight against break-ins
- A handle that can be locked with a key: a metal rod linked to the lock comes to rest on two fixing points, above and below the window.
- Of strikes security bolts: Can not go out the door from its hinges.
- A system with half - openers: this is a system that is usually found on glass entrance doors.
- A protective grid: for the joinery located on the ground floor, a simple and effective device allows you to secure your windows. The protective grid is found in the form of metal bars, which are sealed in the window's wall in question.
