TIP OF THE WEEK

Burglar Proofing Windows — In addition to glass, steel bars can be put over all the windows in your house. The downside is that some individuals really feel the steel bars make their house look more like a jail in comparison to a residence. There are also laminated films that can be put over a window. The films bond to make them very strong. An intruder will not likely recognize the glass is shielded until they attempt to damage it. Reinforced glass is an option. This kind of glass can be really pricey, but there are other selections such as plexiglass. Some residences have glass that slide open on a track. By installing latches, you make them much tougher to open. Not impossible, but tougher and that is what you are looking for – deterrence. Also, see to it you have the capacity to get out via a home window quickly if you need to.
