Best Security Features for Modern Windows and Doors

At Warwick Glass, we understand that your home is your sanctuary. Ensuring it is safe and secure is a priority for every homeowner. With rising concerns about burglary and home invasions, investing in secure front doors and secure windows is more important than ever. Modern home improvements offer a range of advanced security features designed to keep your home safe without compromising on style or energy efficiency. Whether you’re considering uPVC windows or front door upgrades, choosing the right security features can provide you with peace of mind for years to come.

Security Starts with Quality Materials

 

The first line of defence for your home begins with the materials used in your windows and doors. Our uPVC windows are manufactured to be highly durable and resistant to forced entry. uPVC, or unplasticised polyvinyl chloride, is not only weather-resistant and energy-efficient but also provides a robust framework that can support multi-point locking systems. This makes them an excellent choice for secure windows in any property.

 

For front door upgrades, solid composite doors coated with high-quality uPVC finishes combine strength with aesthetic appeal. These doors are less prone to warping or splitting compared to traditional wooden doors, making them harder to breach. At Warwick Glass, we offer a variety of composite door styles that can be customised to suit the character of your home while enhancing its security.

 

Multi-Point Locking Systems

 

One of the most effective security features in modern windows and doors is the multi-point locking system. Unlike single locks which engage at one point, multi-point locks secure the door or window at multiple locations – along the frame and locking into the door edge or window sash. This significantly increases resistance to forced entry and makes it much more difficult for intruders to pry open your doors or windows.

 

Our uPVC window range features high-quality multi-point locking as standard, ensuring that your secure windows provide maximum protection. Similarly, front door upgrades from Warwick Glass come with advanced locking mechanisms that provide you with greater control and safety.

 

Toughened and Laminated Glass

 

The glazing used in windows and doors plays a crucial role in home security. Toughened glass is designed to be much stronger than regular glass and, in the event of breaking, it shatters into small, less harmful pieces. Laminated glass, often used in combination with toughened glass, contains a special interlayer that holds shards in place if the glass is broken, creating a formidable barrier against forced entry.

 

We recommend specifying laminated and toughened glass options when considering secure home improvements. Warwick Glass offers a selection of secure glazing solutions designed to withstand impact and deter potential burglars. Choosing these glass types does not mean sacrificing natural light or the visual appeal of your windows and doors; rather, it enhances their overall performance.

 

Security Hinges and Hardware

 

Beyond locks and glass, the hardware of your windows and doors must be secure to prevent manipulation. Modern hinges, particularly in doors, should be designed to prevent removal from the outside. Security hinges often include non-removable pins or are fitted with hinge bolts that make it difficult for intruders to force doors open.

 

Additional hardware such as reinforced handles and anti-drill lock cylinders further improve your secure front doors and windows. Warwick Glass ensures that every component integrated into our products meets or exceeds relevant British security standards, giving you confidence in the quality and reliability of your secure home improvements.

 

Smart Security Features

 

As part of the move towards smarter homes, some modern windows and doors can be fitted with integrated alarm sensors. These sensors detect if a window or door is opened or tampered with and can be linked to your home security system. Though often installed by security professionals, it’s encouraging to know that your windows and doors can be part of a connected security network.

 

At Warwick Glass, while our focus is on providing expertly manufactured windows and doors with built-in security features, we are always happy to discuss how these products can complement external smart security systems to enhance your home’s protection.
