Importance of Security Screens for Doors and Windows

In today’s world, you must recognize the importance of securing every potential entry point in your home or business. When protecting your loved ones or your property,  doors and windows are the first line of defence against intruders.

*Did you know? According to a survey from the International Association of Home Inspectors, burglars have predictable patterns:

  • 81% enter through the first floor
  • 34% of burglars enter through the front door
  • 23% enter through a first-floor window
  • 22% enter through the back door

Security screens for doors and windows are more than just deterrents, they provide a robust physical barrier that ensures an extra layer of protection. Quality screens and doors are specifically designed to withstand forced entry attempts. They’re tough, resilient, and capable of standing up against harsh conditions.

Adding security screens to a property doesn’t mean sacrificing aesthetics. Modern security screens come in various styles and finishes to complement your property’s exterior. So, you can now enhance security and curb appeal simultaneously.

Security Solution #1: Roller Shutters

Roller shutters are the most practical and versatile investment for enhancing your home or business’s safety. Here are the top three reasons why:

Security

In residential and commercial applications, shutters can be added to doors, windows, or both. These shutters come in various sizes and strengths, tailored to your needs. You can operate them manually or motorize them for ease and convenience.

They create a solid barrier that deters potential intruders when entirely lowered at night. Since the shutters are controlled from the inside, unauthorized operation is virtually impossible. To further boost your property’s security, choose automatic locking mechanisms.

Weather Protection

Roll shutters are a strong barrier against inclement weather, safeguarding your windows and doors from high winds, heavy rain, or hail. They’re particularly beneficial if you live in an area prone to storms or if your property stands vacant for extended periods. In addition, you can look forward to saving money in repair costs from damage to your property caused by storms!

Energy Usage

Beyond safeguarding your property from storms and potential intruders, roll shutters also act as an additional insulation layer, significantly impacting your home’s or business’s energy efficiency.

In the heat of summer, roll shutters reflect the sun’s rays, reducing the heat absorbed by your windows. This reflection keeps your interior cool, reducing the need for air conditioning. In winter, they prevent heat loss, helping your heating system work more efficiently and saving you money. So, they don’t just protect your property, they also protect your wallet and the environment. 

Security Solution #2: Security Gates

Security gates, a formidable ally in safeguarding entry points, are a testament to Pacific Awnings’ commitment to comprehensive security solutions.

Why opt for a security gate for your business? 

  • In the event of an attempted break-in – breaking windows or doors,  the intruder would be met with our robust ½” steel door security gate. The noise of breaking glass and the challenge of cutting or breaking through tough steel would trigger alarms and alert passersby. While these deterrents may dissuade most thieves, imagine a determined professional intruder. Even in this scenario, an additional security gate around your most valuable assets adds an extra layer of defence. Easily closed and locked by your last employee, this gate forces the intruder to navigate through more steel, delaying their progress and increasing the chances of police intervention.

Security Solution #3: Folding Grilles

Folding grilles are another effective security measure that provides robust security without detracting from your property’s visual appeal. Here are some reasons to consider a folding grille for your business:

  • Grilles are crafted from durable aluminum, built to withstand harsh conditions and potential break-ins
  • Whether you’re securing a storefront or a home entryway, thanks to their unique track system, folding grilles can accommodate curved openings in almost any configuration
  • They are a visible deterrent to potential intruders while showcasing your business or home
  • Grilles can be easily folded back when not in use, providing unobstructed access during operating hours
  • You can choose from tempered glass inserts or solid aluminum panels for enhanced privacy and security

Security Solution #4: Security Bars

While you may think security bars are only for high-risk areas, they’re a versatile and effective security solution for any home or business. Specifically designed to deter intruders, security bars provide an effective physical barrier that significantly enhances a property’s security.

One main advantage of security bars is their visual deterrent factor. The sight of them alone can often discourage would-be burglars from attempting a break-in. The bars signal that your property is well-protected, increasing the risk and difficulty of an intrusion.

Security bars are incredibly durable and made from aircraft-grade aluminum. This material is maintenance-free while resisting tampering and forced entry attempts, providing a robust defence investment for your home or office.
