Is your life at risk because of substandard security?

30 March 2011

Is your life at risk because of substandard security? There is a lot of confusion amongst consumers about the difference between good and poor security, leaving local residents under the misconception that all security barriers work the same and that price is the only differentiator. This is far from the truth!

Trellidor offers a wide range of security barriers for your home from the windows and doors to the garage where your car and tools are kept. A ‘Trellidor’ for your home is the ultimate crime barrier. Even with the modern world being as bright, colourful and aesthetically driven as it is Trellidor has taken into account the wide varieties of tastes and have a wide variety of colour choice for their entire security range.

When times are tough it's tempting to ‘buy cheap' in the search for short term financial savings. When it comes to security, though, the costs could be far greater in the long run. In fact, only thieves see the value in buying cheap security barriers. A determined burglar can break through them in no time at all. The best way to avoid this is to make every effort to ensure your home is difficult to break into. This means securing every door and window with the highest quality security barriers you can afford. Trellidors’ Retractable Security range can be the first step to ensuring this unbreakable shield within your home.

The range consists of powder coated galvanised steel security barriers in Trellidor's familiar double trellis design. The product options include security gates for doors, verandas, passages and stairways and retractable security barriers for windows and shop counters. The Trellidor Fixed Security is a range of non-retractable powder coated steel security barriers. They are engineered to help protect windows, open balconies, glassed walls and glassed-in stairways from break-ins. We offer a choice of designs, some of which match Trellidor Retractable security gates, so there is no mismatching of barrier styles. Our Trellidor Fixed Security grilles can be custom-manufactured to fit almost any size opening, from large to very small. They can be installed in a number of ways including internally, face-on or in the reveal. All Trellidor Fixed Security products are suitable for both home and commercial applications.

External doors are more often than not the first and sometimes the only entry point to a home that need to be fitted with barriers, thus preventing burglaries. We tend to forget that windows can be a prime choice and entry point for burglars. Installing barriers on every opening in your home can be an expensive exercise which is why Trellidor have expanded their range to include a more cost effective burglar bar design for your windows.

Called Trellidor Burglar Guards, the new range has four different design options, one of which matches Trellidor’s security gates. We will still custom measure each window opening and manufacture a unique burglar guard for that window. To make them as unobtrusive as possible, Trellidor Burglar Guards can be powder coated to match décor and fitted in a number of different ways.

Another product in our range is the Trellidor Cottage Guard which is a premium quality, fully framed, fixed burglar guard that is manufactured to either match existing cottage pane windows or to create a cottage pane effect. They are custom made and may be fitted to any window style. Manufactured from a combination of aluminium and steel, they offer superior protection against attempted break-ins.

We are also proud to announce the launch of our newest product, Trellidor Clear Guard, the benchmark in home security. This new product is both beautiful and a brand new development in security technology, allowing clear views of the outdoors. This new product for doors and windows consists of an aluminum frame with a stainless steel high tensile mesh insert. It's primarily an attractive security solution as it allows unobstructed views of the outside while protecting your home from intruders. The mesh screen acts as a humane barrier but still allows one to enjoy their secure and open living lifestyle. The mesh screen filters out up to 60% of the harmful UV rays, decreasing the internal temperature of the home, improving energy efficiency and shielding furniture from our damaging sun. It also increases the natural airflow within the home. It is an attractive looking product and the fact that it is see-through has been a big selling point. As with all Trellidor products, we custom-make every Trellidor Clear Guard unit to fit the door or window style.

Why put your family at risk by installing inferior quality products simply because they are cheap?
