Police authorites throughout the country all agree that most theft is opportunisitc and burglars will take the line of least resistance in identifying potential targets.
Typically, single glazed windows in aras that are not visible to passers by and neighbours such as basements or ground floor, side & back of property, windows accessible form flat roofs, sash windows and French doors are all particulary vulnerable to potential attack.
The secondary windows solution
Secondary windows are, by the nature of their design, extremely difficult to open from the outside.
Once they are fitted with additional security locks and laminated security glass they become a huge challenge to even the most determined intruder. Given enough time any window can be broken through but the time it takes and the noise it makes means that the potential burglar will go elsewhere and look for easier pickings than a robust secondary windows present to him.
