Windows are a favored point of entry for burglars because they shatter easily when some force is applied to the glass. If you reside in a crime-stricken area, you may be wondering if the time will come when you are faced with a dangerous intruder. Replace standard glass panes with security windows, which include bulletproof panes, non-shattering glass, or metal bar coverings.

Stay One Step Ahead Of The Hoodlums

You aren't necessarily going to encounter a possible theft, but it is always best to be safe than sorry. Besides, you will be able to rest easy each night by knowing that you have burglar-proofed your house.

Multiple layers of glass and a frame that contains a steel inlay are the components used to manufacture residential glass. This glass is usually bulletproof and that won't shatter when force is applied to it. Storm or hurricane panes are another type of safety product that is used to ward off thieves and protect a home from high winds and flooding.

This type of glass has a coating applied to it that will prevent glass shards from flying loose if a pane is damaged. The sharp edges, which could injure someone, will be secured to the coating. In conjunction with either of these types of panes, you can have metal bar covers installed over the exterior side of each window.

Although the panes by themselves are pretty hardy, it can be scary to contemplate a burglar walking upon your property and trying to gain access to your residence. Bar covers will be visible from the edge of your yard and a person who is looking for a place to break into may immediately keep walking or driving down the road when they notice that your home's windows have metal covers over them.

Receive An Assessment

If you are uncertain about which types of panes to purchase or are wondering if you are going to benefit from having additional security features installed, request that a glass or security product technician completes an assessment of your home. If your house is multiple levels, maybe you will only want to upgrade the glass panes that are on the lower level.

Additionally, inquire about windows that contain locking mechanisms or separate locking devices that can be installed on all of the windows and doors to your home. Security products may come with a warranty or a money-back guarantee, so make sure that you ask the technician about any perks that are associated with purchasing products.
