Safe and secure doors and windows

If there is one thing that scares most people, it's the prospect of being burgled. Now, if someone is determined to get into your property, there is a good chance that they will succeed, particularly if you happen to be out at the time, but by having good quality windows and doors fitted, with the correct locking mechanisms, you will put off the vast majority of burglars, who are mostly opportunistic thieves, looking for a soft and easy target.

Remember, that your home is only as secure as its weakest point of entry. That's why it's so important to have doors and windows that are as secure as possible.

Whether you live in a flat or a house, your front door will always be an indication to a potential thief as to the levels of security installed on the rest of your home. If it looks really secure and burglar-resistant, then they'll think twice about trying to gain entry, moving onto an easier target. Remember that no burglar wants a challenge; they want to get in and out as quickly and quietly as possible.

Good quality doors from Aspect will be secure and very robust, with superior locking mechanisms. All of the locks and hinges fitted to our windows and doors are British Standard approved.

Aspect windows and doors are secure by design

Sliding patio doors are notoriously vulnerable to forced entry, but ours have an anti-lift device fitted so they can't be lifted out of the frame.

Some uPVC doors are fitted with locks that protrude from the frame on the outside. Our door and window locks are shorter, so can't be snapped off.

When it comes to a letterbox, a guard fitted to the rear of the door will prevent someone reaching in with an implement to try and hook any nearby items such as a handbag or keys. We always suggest keeping these things well away from doors with letterboxes anyway.

Remember that windows can be reinforced by using special film or by installing laminated panels. We can advise you on any extra security measures.

Know whose at the door before opening it

Many of our exterior front doors are pre fitted with spy holes. We also suggest fitting security chains too, so that anyone visiting can be identified before you open the door.

Always remember to use both locks and check to make sure that the mortice lock is double-locked every time you leave your home. Also, a simple turn of a double-locking night latch gives you added security and peace of mind.

Although not fitted as standard, if you live in a high burglary area, or are generally concerned about your safety and security, door bars, such as a London Bar or Birmingham Bar greatly reinforce the doorframe and provide excellent protection against anyone trying to force a door open or kicking it down. Please ask us about the possibilities of these extra security measures.

Some doors come with a lock guard. These devices protect the doors keyhole and lock from being tampered with and are a great deterrent.

At Aspect Windows and Doors, we always fit security accredited products as these are tested to British standards and approved by the insurance industry.

Some things to know before you have your windows replaced in Knebworth

Knebworth is a lovely little village in Hertfordshire, immediately south of Stevenage. The civil parish covers an area between the villages of Datchworth, Woolmer Green, Codicote, Kimpton, Whitwell, St Pauls Walden and Langley, and encompasses the village of Knebworth, the small village of Old Knebworth and Knebworth House.

There is clear evidence that people lived in Knebworth as far back as Neolithic times and it is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 where it is referred to as Chenepeworde, meaning the farm belonging to the Dane, Cnebba. Knebworth had a population of about 150 at the time. The original village, now known as Old Knebworth, developed around Knebworth House stately home.

Since 1974, Knebworth has been the home of numerous major open air rock and pop concerts at Knebworth House. Memorable performances include Queens final live performance which took place in 1986 and drew an attendance estimated as high as 300,000, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Oasis playing to a quarter of a million people for 2 nights in 1996 and more recently Robbie Williams, who for three nights in August 2003 performed to the largest crowds ever assembled for a single performer.

There are so many good reasons to replace your old windows, particularly in an area such as Knebworth which has a relatively high number of older properties. Maybe your old windows have shifted or warped over time, allowing draughts or even water to enter the property. Often new windows will be of a modern design that can tilt in for easy cleaning.

New windows will also be more efficient than your old windows at retaining the warmth in your house, not to mention being better at adding security because the locking mechanisms are superior to old fashioned windows.

A lot of older properties in Knebworth were originally fitted with timber framed windows, so why would you want to change completely to modern plastic frames? Unfortunately, the solid wooden window frames sold these days are simply not as durable and will not stand up to the elements as well as the wood that was used many years ago when the Knebworth properties were built. The reason for this is mainly because the timber today is usually farmed quickly to meet the high demand rather than being left to grow naturally and slowly. A slowly grown, natural wood will be harder and far more durable than one that has not matured over time, so an alternative material is preferable.

uPVC replacement windows for your Knebworth property

uPVC replacement windows are the most affordable choice for your home. You can even get different colours and even wood textures and grain patterns. The colours are UV stable for a long and durable life. There are even choices available that replicate some old fashioned window styles so you can maintain the aesthetics of your Knebworth property.

uPVC or PVCu window frames for your Knebworth property

So many people get confused with these terms, but they refer to the same product. uPVC and PVCu are the same thing! uPVC changed its name to PVCu and sometimes PVC-U in the late 1980s to fall in line with Europe. It is called PVCu there because most European languages place the noun, or the term PVC in this case, before the adjective of U. The PVC part of it stands for Polyvinyl Chloride, the U stands for unplasticised.

It is also worth remembering that you could get up to seventy percent of the cost of replacement windows back when you sell your house. This figure only applies to good quality replacement windows, so if you choose the wrong windows from the wrong company, the window replacements could reduce the resale value of your home.
