There are many reasons for replacing your old windows. Aesthetics, energy efficiency, increased home value are all common reasons for replacing the windows on your biggest investment.
Sometimes safety is a concern. If you want to keep your family and your most prized investment safe you may want to consider burglar proof windows.
Windows can be your favorite feature of your house or they can be a major security risk. How much protection are your windows giving you? If you have conventional windows in place, probably not very much.
Storm windows also make great burglar proof windows. The double paned glass that is shatter resistant makes a smash and grab burglary practically impossible.
Laminated glass windows are another option. They are very hard to break due to the extra security layer of glass.
Tempered glass is commonly used in windows if the safety of your home is a main concern. Tempered glass is five times stronger than conventional glass and very difficult to break.
