People usually consider replacement window glass options to ensure they get the most energy efficient windows with the most appropriate glass choice based on their lot orientation, climate, surrounding structures and how they plan to use a room. However, there are several choices that automatically strengthen your home security system. Here are two examples.
Locks and latches deter uninvited guests from tampering with your home’s windows. Because you cannot access recessed locks from the outside of your home, many people in the industry call these locking devices, pick-resistant. In some cases, homeowners can design extra large windows with two locks.
Night latches, sash stops and child guards allow you to open windows a few inches for ventilation, without compromising safety or security. With just a four-inch gap, no one can slip in through the window and children cannot accidentally fall through an open window if left unattended. It is more common to see sash stops in double-hung and sliding windows, but some casement configurations have guards and security stops as well.
Fibrex composite window frame material is best known for energy-efficiency performance and low maintenance. The patented materials creates window frames that are similar in appearance to wood, without the susceptibility to damage from mold, rot, decay or other weakness caused by moisture and extreme weather events. Along with providing superior heat transfer control, Fibrex sash components deliver additional strength and durability not seen in most vinyl and metal frames.
