Did you know that there have been over 250,000 reports of recorded burglary offences in the UK in the last year? At The Nottingham Window Company, you can relax knowing that all of our double glazed windows are designed with advanced security features to keep you and your loved ones safe.
From robust door locks to advanced security systems, homeowners are constantly seeking ways to improve their home’s security. One often overlooked aspect of home security is the type of windows installed. This is where double glazing steps in not only as an energy-efficient solution but also as a potential enhancer of home security.
Understanding double glazing
Before delving into how double glazing can contribute to home security, let’s first understand the concept of double glazing. Double glazing refers to two panes of glass that are designed to stop heat escaping from your home. Double glazed windows create an air gap between the panes of glass which slows down heat loss, therefore increasing your home’s thermal efficiency and leading to energy savings.
Reinforced strength
One of the key features of double glazing is its reinforced strength. Traditional single glazed windows are more vulnerable to breakage and potential entry points for intruders. However, double glazing provides an additional layer of protection due to its structure. This makes it significantly harder to break through. What’s more, double glazing often features toughened or laminated glass which is specifically designed to be more resistant to impact. This adds an extra level of security, and attempting to shatter or break the glass becomes a far more challenging task.
