At Jewel Windows, we understand how important it is for you and your family to feel safe and secure in your home. You want your windows and doors to be as secure as possible to keep unwelcome visitors out and to give you complete peace of mind. That is why we advise that when looking for new windows and doors make security your number one priority!
Obviously windows and doors are a popular point of entry for burglars, whether they break the glass or your window or door simply has not been shut or locked properly, it can sometimes leave your home vulnerable. Whether looking for quality windows and doors company in Woking, Guildford or London, at Jewel Windows we cover the whole of the South and guarantee our customers the highest standards of security available on the market. That is because we are part of a scheme called ‘Secured by Design.’
This scheme has been set up by The Association of Chief Police Officers to focus on crime prevention for homes and commercial premises and has security standards for a vast range of products, including windows and doors. The objective is to reduce burglary and crime in the UK and we are proud to part of such a great scheme. Be sure to ask your window company if they too are part of this scheme and if they have had a certificate issued by The Association of Chief Police Officers to state that their windows and doors have undergone sufficient testing to prove that they will withstand a burglary attempt. This will ensure that you are getting the most advanced locking systems available and the highest level of security possible!
Another point to remember if replacing windows is to install ones that are certified to British Standard BS7950 Windows of Enhanced Security. You could also consider using laminated glass for windows that are in vulnerable areas such as on the ground floor and accessible windows such as those above a flat roof. The benefits of laminated glass is that it holds together when someone attempts to break in or if it shatters.
Small windows and sky lights are often easily forgotten when it comes to security, so ensure you remember to put locks on these also as if a burglar can get their head through, with a little bit of effort their body can follow.
