Window Security
Window security is an important aspect of any security system. Windows are just as common an entry point for a burglar as a door, and as such should be protected. There are a number of ways to ensure your windows are secure.
Most electronic security systems use magnetic sensors as the main alarm trigger on home windows. While these are usually effective, many people take additional steps including installing bars over any ground-level windows. However, these are often not recommended as they block the window during fire emergencies.
Tempered or polycarbonate glass is also a great way to ensure window security, as they are much more difficult to break. However, replacing the glass in all of a home’s windows can be quite expensive. A common alternative is a protective film which can be easily applied to the window and is designed to keep the window together in the event that someone tries to break it.
