Keeping your home safe

Every minute there is a burglary in the UK, an incredible yet shocking statistic. And not only at nights, but also during the day, when the occupants are not at home. Above all, burglars enter homes through windows or balcony or terrace doors. And it is precisely here where many burglary attempts are foiled by the right security technology. If the burglar fails to enter within a very short time, they quickly start looking for another building. So it is always worth your while to invest in modern security measures. Not least of all, security also means living quality.

Safe windows and doors are fitted with special glazing, burglar resistant frames and fittings, and additional locks or grilles. Depending on your individual security needs, you can choose from a range of security standards in your new windows and doors. We have a complete range of products that can acheive Secured by Design and satisfy the rigorous demands of PAS 24 testing, including our patent protected and revolutionary PremiLine Pro patio door. 

Yet you too can do something to protect yourself and your home – with quite simple means. Close all windows and doors, even when you are out for a short time only. Never leave the windows in the tilted or ventilating position – not even on higher floors. Burglars will otherwise feel invited, especially when garden furniture or ladders make it easier for them to gain access.

Secured by Design (SBD) is the official police security initiative that works to improve the security of buildings and their immediate surroundings to provide safe places to live, work, shop and visit.

SBD’s product based accreditation scheme – the Police Preferred Specification - provides a recognised standard for all security products that can deter and reduce crime.

There are currently many hundreds of companies producing thousands of attack resistant crime prevention products, across 30 different crime categories, which have achieved Police Preferred Specification.
