Why You Need Security Roller

Shutters for Your Home

For most homeowners, enhanced security doors and windows with a

monitored intruder alarm and adequate external lighting will be a sufficient

deterrent to prevent most burglaries.

However, if your home already has these security features and you have still

suffered a burglary or if your home contains extreme valuables and you just don’t feel secure enough, you may want to consider the installation of metal rolling shutters on your doors and windows. There are several advantages to

installing rolling shutters on your home.

Rolling shutters can be lifted and pulled down by hand or be equipped with an

electric drive for more convenience and security. Most of the shutters for

homes are corrosion resistant and come in a wide variety of colors and

finishes to look appealing while adding a layer of extreme security to your

home, its contents and most important, its occupants.

Advantages of Security Shutters

Security rolling shutters create a virtually impenetrable barrier on your doors

and windows that will delay or dissuade intruders. This allows them to

prevent the quick entry, grab and exit type of crime to steal something

specific. They also prevent thieves from seeing what is in your home so they

can get an idea of whether or not it is worth their time and effort to break into

your home.

During hot days, the shutters can shade your home, keeping it cooler, which is

what they are mainly used for in central and southern Europe. They will also

protect your home and its contents in the event of major storms with high and

damaging winds that threaten to shatter windows and damage the contents

inside.

Which windows and doors need protection?

At the very least you need to protect all of the easily accessible windows,

along with the side and rear facing doors. You would leave the main, front

entrance door and the upper floor windows unprotected.

The thought here is that the front door is within sight of the road and thus not

the best way to break into your home without being seen and the upper floor windows are more difficult to gain entrance to, so they won’t be a thief’s ideal way to enter.

However, if your home is in a remote area and there is little chance a thief will

be seen or disturbed, then you may want to think about some or all of the

upper floor windows and the front door as well.

Where you install your metal window and door shutters is based on your

individual requirements for the security of your home, the main thing is that

you seriously consider this option to obtain the highest possible line of

defense for the complete security of your home.
