Replacement Windows

A window manufacturer uses different materials during construction. And to break through these glass windows, the thief will have to strike repeatedly on the same spot alerting you and your neighbors. So, ultimately such windows act as an excellent thief deterrent. If you are thinking of having a cutting-edge security, consider installing the following replacement windows in your home –

Reinforcing the glass windows with the secured material is not a difficult task. You can ask your manufacturer to use any of the following glasses during construction –

· Tempered glass is more durable than a traditional one which is not easy to break. When it comes to reinforced glasses, it is one of the least expensive options.
· Laminated or glass windows consist a layer of vinyl sandwiched between two or three sheets of regular glass so you can have double glazed windows or triple glazed windows for your home.
· Bullet-resistant glass or wire mesh glass gives an added safety net. But, both of these are quite expensive and do not provide any other security benefit.

Acrylic Plastic Windows

They are also known as Plexiglas windows and come with the same thickness as that of a traditional window but with a difference. Replacement upvc windows are 10 times stronger and secure and 250 times more impact-resistant than the traditional ones.

Window Bars
Place heavy iron bars on your windows that will make your home not just attractive but will also help in keeping burglars at bay.

Window Alarms
With advancement in technology, you will find state-of-the-art window alarms that are easy to install and the simplest one being a sensor alarm. This detects the motion around the wall and alerts whenever the window is opened or broken. Another sophisticated window alarm uses infrared motion detector which monitors the area around the window and activates when even the slightest motion is detected.

Therefore, the time is ripe to think of installing home safety features before an unwanted incident takes place. A secure home will always be a happy home!
