Window grilles can be an incredible security investment that can benefit your home in a variety of different ways. After all, they serve as a brilliant burglary deterrent by making it much harder for thieves and law breakers to gain entry to your property and they can also make you feel much safer in your home as a result. With this said, window grilles may not be for everybody which is why we have decided to use this blog in order to weigh up the different considerations you should factor into your decision… Emergency Safety The most attractive feature of window grilles is their ability to boost your security and make your property safer and whilst this is true, it is important to remember that this doesn’t make your property completely immune. In fact, sometimes people consider them a safety concern in emergency situations like a fire as you cannot simply smash a window and escape. With this said, new modern adaptions with retractable grilles are providing a solution to this issue. Planning Permission Having window grilles installed is a fairly simple task and can even be done by the most unexperienced DIY builder. With this said, it is important that you ensure that you gain planning permission before you begin making moderations to a property. After all, landlords often like to be consulted with by their tenant and listed buildings are strict when it comes to modern adaptions like window grilles. Damage Whilst the security features of window grilles often outweigh any downside, having them installed does mean that you will have to drill into the brickwork. Although this doesn’t damage the structure of the property, it could present an aesthetic downside if you were ever to sell up the property. Luckily, it is often easy to fill in the holes that are created if the window grilles were ever removed. Here at ABC industrial we believe that it is important to make sure you don’t put all your eggs into one basket. After all, just because the security benefit looks enticing, it doesn’t mean that window grilles are a magical elixir that can stop all crime and burglary from taking place. With this said, the ABC team believe that the benefits outweigh any negatives! To find out more information, get in contact with a member of the ABC team today!
