The safety of our family and home is the top priority for homeowners.
Unfortunately, homes in Oakville, Burlington, Milton and Hamilton are susceptible to burglary and theft due to things like:
- empty houses while on holidays
- simply forgetting to lock your windows and doors
- early darkness, which makes it harder to spot a potential intruder
So, if you are thinking about updating your home with Fasada, here are some of the most secure options out there:
Casement Windows
Casement windows are relatively secure because they can only be opened via a hand-crank mechanism that is located on the interior side of the unit. Casement windows also feature multi-point lock systems, which make them even more challenging to open.
Double Hung Windows
A classic appearance combined with a rugged design, double-hung windows glide vertically up and down. When closed, the windows are secured using the same locks found in sliding windows, keeping both parts secured so they can’t be forced open.
Fiberglass Doors
Most would-be thieves will try to pick a lock in order to open a door. Failing that, they’ll attempt to break the glass – which is easier said than done if you install fibreglass doors into your home.
Here’s why:
- Extremely durable with high-performing lock block systems
- Fiberglass doors can be fitted with shatter-resistant double or triple-pane glass
- There’s a layer of solid insulation between the glass panels, making the door thicker
- Fiberglass doors are designed to look like solid wood. By looking at them, intruders will be deterred and may look for another target.
French Doors
Exterior French doors are elegant, but they are also strong. That’s thanks to the tempered (meaning they’ve been thermally and chemically strengthened) dual panes of glass built into them. You can also add decorative wrought iron between the panes for a touch of class and an extra layer of security.
Finally, French doors also feature:
- Aluminum construction for durability
- Polyurethane core for strength
- Wide stiles (the upright, outside panels on either side) for added toughness
Secure your home for the season – and beyond
Updating your Windows and doors will give you a fresh look while boosting your curb appeal, safety and security of your family for years to come. And there’s no price you can put on that peace of mind.
