Window Security Grilles - A Compelling Security Solution


It's an unpleasant fact of modern life that crime, of one kind or another, is a constant background threat. Whilst there was some evidence of a tailing off in UK crime figures during 2011 - 2012, crime, and crime prevention are both still very much 'on the radar' of business and home owners. After all, only in 2010 it was reported that someone was being attacked in their own home by an intruder, on average, once every 30 minutes. Meanwhile, during 2011 a 14 per cent rise in burglaries across the UK was reported.

For some people who live or work in one type of premises or another, standard security measures will feel quite sufficient. High-quality door and window locks, and perhaps a burglar alarm, will fit the bill. However, for others, perhaps because of the area in which they are sited, or perhaps on word-of-mouth advice from neighbours, or because they are trying to lower their insurance premiums, more robust security measures are essential.

Window security grilles - a reassuring security enhancement

For such concerned individuals window security grilles may be just the solution. These grilles are literally an extra layer of security that are fitted, usually internally, behind a window. Sometimes they are attached externally, providing a real deterrent against any attempts to break glass. They are made of steel, and are designed to protect the room they serve while not obscuring the view into or out of the room. Sometimes they are configured as vertical or horizontal bars coming down or across the window area, but more usually they are shaped to create a latticework effect. Alternatively, there may be a diamond-shaped pattern that breaks up the straight lines at set points in the grille. Such aesthetic features help window security grilles to look attractive, and fit in better with their surroundings.

The benefits of window security grilles

• Proper window protection - windows are traditionally the weakest, most vulnerable security point of a property

• A powerful deterrent - window security grilles will make any property far less of a tempting prospect to any potential intruder. These industrial strength grilles make it all but impossible to penetrate a property via its windows

• Flexibility - in their retractable format, window security grilles offer great flexibility over more traditional fixed bars. They can be folded back, concertina-like, and can be temporarily hidden, or at least made a background feature of any room. This can be helpful when trying to let in air, or perhaps when trying to create a more relaxed feeling in a room

• Insurance advantage - many insurance companies are of the opinion that window security grilles are a superior addition to any suite of building security measures. These grilles may bring down premium costs or even be a condition of some insurance policies

• Security window grilles fit in well - these security grilles are increasingly being manufactured with aesthetic appeal in mind. They are often offered in a variety of colours, whatever works best with the surrounding decoration, furnishings and fitting. This makes them an attractive prospect to house-proud home owners, as well as to businesses trying to reinforce their brands.
