There are many reasons to use custom doors and windows in your home. Among the most obvious reasons are energy-efficient functioning and personalized aesthetics, but there is another benefit to using made-to-order fenestrations from a window and door manufacturer: home security.
Keep reading to learn more about the role of custom windows and doors in home security.
Lock
Whether you live on a busy street or in a secluded home in the country, home security begins with windows and doors that are locked. Modern door and window manufacturers include various locking mechanisms to enhance protection against intruders. For custom doors, this includes full 16" lock blocks, while custom windows frequently feature secure locking systems to prevent unauthorized access. They also offer secure casements that are difficult to pry open and multi-paned glass that is more difficult for intruders to break.
Strength
Strength is indeed a quality of modern custom windows and doors. Many door manufacturers now offer a selection of front and side doors made from durable and resistant materials such as steel, fibreglass, PVC, and even glass. Yes, glass. No longer just for windows, impact-resistant, laminated, and other safety glasses are commonly used in custom doors to enhance protection against break-ins while providing a view of the outside, which allows you to be aware of your surroundings and any potential intruders.
While glass doors in the front of the home may be relatively new, glass doors have long been used in the back of homes to provide access to the backyard or patio. Sliding glass doors, also known as patio doors, made with durable PVC-wrapped frames contribute to the longevity and integrity of glass doors, which in turn helps prevent intrusion while maintaining the passage of natural light and enhancing the aesthetics of your home.
Strong, multi-paned glass also makes custom doors and windows more secure than ever before.
Impact resistant or laminated glass make strong barriers for all openings of any home.
Enhanced Features
Custom window and door manufacturers can offer advanced technologies to further protect your home. Smart locks can provide keyless entry and monitoring from inside the home or across the globe. Built-in window sensors that connect to a home security system can also allow for real-time notifications of suspicious entry attempts.
Customization
Working with a window and door manufacturer allows for the strategic placement of windows and doors for better visibility from inside and impeded access from the outside. Custom doors and windows can be reinforced at strategic points or have other specialized features like impact-resistant glazing or security screens easily added to match your home’s design without impacting the aesthetic.
