Home Security Options For Windows

Lots of people have various ideas when it comes to home security

. Most of them are familiar with certain types of security grilles no matter if these are traditional wrought iron external window bars or the heavy-duty steel window grilles. These grilles do offer some protection; yet, it appears that they are a little bit unattractive. Also, they require regular maintenance and due to the fact that they are installed externally they can be tampered with providing only a visual deterrent level of security.

You can achieve the highest level of protection if you set up window grilles internally behind the glass. This way you can be sure that you have protected your place the best you could as an invader will have to break the glass before the window grille can be tampered with. There are lots of various types of internal security grilles from retractable grilles to removable window bars. Depending on the model you are looking for you can get the retractable grilles offering different levels of security, from low security up to high security insurance rated. It is very easy to use and maintain them. Besides, they come in lots of different colors.

Internally installed window bars appeared on the market after the first traditional heavy-duty jail bars had been installed in banks. However, the removable window bars system offers a traditional vertical bar grille design, but it also has a very cleaver feature built in which actually allows the removal of the bars from the frame, providing a totally open view through the window.

If you must install a security system on the outside then the security window mesh seems to be a safe and discreet option. The security mesh is constructed from a steel sheet that is perforated with 4mm holes and then framed with an aluminum box section. It looks like tinted glass and allows for up to 60% of the light through it making it almost undetectable.

But, there are some areas which are exposed to risk more than other, and for that reason people who live there choose to install roller shutters instead of window grilles, window bars or window mesh. The roller shutter is a better option since it provides a more physical looking obstruction, and if you install it externally it will also protect the glass. Roller shutters are divided into commercial roller shutters and domestic roller shutters.

Domestic roller shutters are produced from aluminum unlike commercial roller shutters which are made from galvanized steel with steel guide rails. Also, they contain a large shutter hood or box that the curtain will roll up into and be housed in when the shutter is in its open position. However, aluminum shutters use an extruded slat which is every bit as strong as steel, if not stronger. Also, they roll up into a tighter coil and due to that they have a much smaller neater box.
