This type of safety glass guards you and your home safely without altering its appearance, as it is completely transparent. Unlike thick and heavy conventional armored glass, it lets natural light indoors offers a clear and undistorted view of the outdoors. Would-be burglars are highly unlike to recognize it.

When planning to secure your home with safety glass, you should begin by identifying the windows and glass doors that are at risk. These are usually those that are accessible from ground level. Your local police and other security experts can help.

Specialized service providers can install this technology to secure your window frames. Professional glazers with experience in safety glass should be tasked with installation to ensure the panes are securely anchored.

You can also add an alarm system for additional security. The technology is invisible, and can be connected to an early warning solution in the event of a break-in attempt or to an alarm that alerts neighbors.
