Protect the house with shatterproof glass and railings

To ensure the safety of goods contained inside your home and of the people who live there, it is important to protect the house with shatterproof glass and railings.

The alarm systems are able to scare the thieves away. But if they are tampered with, they can not adequately protect your home. On the contrary, railings and shatterproof glasses are able to completely eliminate the risk of burglary or at least delay it, just enough for the burglar to be discovered.

Thefts in apartments and villas happen very often, with peaks in certain periods of the year, linked to when we are away from home. The news reports over 500 thefts per day, with a higher incidence in some geographic areas.

Of these, about 80% takes place by breaking into doors and windows. The thief manages to slip into the house by breaking through the glass or into the door, robbing us of our assets and also of our safety.

So if we want to enjoy a dinner out with friends or our holiday in serenity, we must protect the place where we live with effective solutions such as railings and shatterproof glass.

Shatterproof glass

Shatterproof glass is a consolidated and increasingly perfected solution to prevent burglars from entering the house.

It is proven that a skilled thief can tamper with even the most complex locks. However, when we talk about house security, we are dealing with a sensitive issue, because the search for protection in the home involves not only an economic aspect, but also a psychological one. When we are at home and when we are not there, we want to be sure that we live in a protected place.

As we said, since there is no lock so complex to make a good burglar surrender, we must increase the difficulties he will find in his way.

Shatterproof glass represents one of these obstacles. The slab of these glasses has uncommon resistance properties and the number and thickness of the plates creates glass that can be classified in different degrees of protection.

Among the shatterproof glasses, laminated ones are certainly the most performing. They consist of sheets held together by multiple films. In the event of an attempt to break through, the sheets remain compact, presenting only cracks. The stratification process itself determines the excellent impact resistance and makes it an optimal solution not only against thieves and criminals, but also for home security. In fact, according to the stratification, this type of glasses are classified into:

• anti-injuring (thickness about 8mm);
• anti-vandalism (thickness about 20 mm)
• bulletproof or explosion-proof (over 30-35mm).

The thinnest is not enough to protect us from theft and aggression, but it is sufficient to prevent the glass surface from collapsing to the ground.

Railings for the safety of your home

Choosing the railings for the safety of your home is very important.

Some homes need more protection than others. There are several reasons that make a home vulnerable, including the luxury appearance, the isolated or low-floor location and many other variables that could make the home more inviting for thieves.

In some cases, shatterproof glass only does not make homeowners feel serene. They require a visible barrier, effective and capable of dissuading the burglar from the beginning.

The railings fulfill this role. Although in the past they used to visually transform the house into a sort of prison, today they can have a much finer aesthetics, integrated with the building and in some cases they even manage to embellish the facade.

Railings combine safety and design, without depriving those who live in the house from a sense of freedom.

In fact, there are fixed and movable railings, capable of guaranteeing a high level of safety.

The former, highly protective for indoor environments, can be a bit oppressive. Generally in the home they are intended only for one or more windows considered very vulnerable.

On the other hand, the movable railings allow you to experience the window as a normal window. It can be opened completely, you can look out and enjoy full freedom when you are at home or, at least, when you are in the room with the window open.

Clearly, the movable railings have a weak point which is the lock, but they are the most suitable solution for blending safety and livability.

Railings are designed and tailor-made according to the level of risk. This is an essential feature for the harmony of the facade, home comfort and safety.

Thus it may be necessary:

• safety railings;
• armored railings.

Safety railings are the most common for preventing intrusions, representing a demanding physical obstacle for burglars. In the movable solution they can have a double joint to facilitate opening towards the inside and outside or they can be retractable.

Armored railings constitute a higher level of protection. Unrivaled in terms of robustness, they meet the highest safety standards.

The best solution to protect your home

Looking for the best solution to protect your home means relying on experts who can turn your worries into strengths.

The perception of domestic vulnerability is an emotion that affects a large portion of the population and, as the news shows, it is a reasonable fear.

So, to live in a house with serenity, it is important to choose a solution that allows us to protect our private spaces and at the same time makes us feel at ease.

Therefore it is essential that shatterproof glass and railings perfectly comply with their primary function, that is to protect the house, and respect the overall aesthetics of the building and apartment in which they are installed.

This is what good design is made of:

• risk exposure assessment;
• drawing.

Architect and window designer must combine skills to create a tailor-made product that satisfies the customer from every point of view.

They must be able to propose a solution that is compatible with the style of the house, with the habits of those who live there and above all with the level of vulnerability of the place.

Experts are able to do it by demonstrating to the client that safety and aesthetics can coexist. They can also surprise them with ideas, materials and products capable of embellishing the facade and interiors.
