Security Windows and Door Screens - Improve The Security of Your Home

There really isn't a need to tell you that securing your home is important. Burglary is rising from year to year (200 000 burglaries are recorded in Australia on an annual basis), thus securing your home with security window screens and doors is of vital importance.

Statistics show that you are most likely to be burgled around 5 pm on Friday when there is no one home, and the most popular items taken in home burglaries are money, laptops, jewellery, wallets, mobile phones, cameras, ID documents, credit cards, etc. Comparing to other countries, Australia can rate with the US, but it is twice as bad as countries like Spain, Japan, Sweden, and Germany.

All these facts can mean only one thing, securing your home with security window screens and doors is crucial. They are the easiest way to improve the security of your house against intruders and give you some peace of mind when at work or at night.

Security window and door screens are pretty easy to install, and some of them you can install on your own. Security screen windows can be made out of different materials and depending on the material and its thickness, they can stop everything from a small rock to a bullet.

But let's get back to another important thing, the main purpose of security window screens is not only to protect your home from thieves, but they can also save your kid's life. How so? According to many studies, thousands of children are injured each year from window falls. Residential windows are not designed with children safety needs in mind, and the usual insect screens offer little or no protection at all (depending on the material and type). Thus, investing in security screen windows made out of stainless steel or any other sturdy material are a permanent investment in your home that offers anti-theft and anti-fall protection, keeping both your home and children safe.

Mesh and window bars are the ideal way to protect both your door and windows from burglary. However, if you don't want to change the look of your doors and windows entirely, there are also other options. You could install sturdy blinders on your windows, and for the doors, you can choose the option to install security screen doors, because they are less secure than full-on security doors, but still offer a certain type of home security. Thus, any type of security is better than having none.
