The Security Benefits of French Doors

Home security is of paramount importance to us all, as we all like to feel safe when we are at home. Increasing crime statistics have meant that our efforts to keep our families safe in our homes have been stepped up. One way that you can strengthen the security of your home is by ensuring that you have high quality doors and windows.

Traditionally doors and windows were made and manufactured from wood but in recent years there has been an increasing rise in the popularity of PVC windows and doors. There are many potential reasons for this increase but perhaps the main factor is that of security. PolyVinyl Chloride or PVC is a highly valuable material used within the chemical and building industries. PVC is not only durable but it is also cheap and easy to manufacture making it one of the most popular materials in use today. It has also proven to be much harder to physically damage thus making it harder to break into.

French doors can make an elegant yet secure way to improve the look of your home. The French doors supplied by Planet South Lakes are a diverse assortment of quality PVC doors that are available in a mixture of colours, price ranges and can be custom made to suit any home. The design of the doors also ensures that each door has three hinges to distribute the weight evenly when they are hung. All French doors in Planet PVC’s collection are double glazed and come with a facility to lock both handles.

Security features high on Planet South Lakes specification list and as a result all French and patio doors come with ready fitted hinge protectors that prevent intruders using a crow bar to gain illegal access. There is also an option to fit restrictor hinges which can prevent damage to the door if for example, it is blown open by a strong gust of wind and all have multi-point locking systems as standard. Windows and doors that are made from PVC also protect your home from the damage that can be caused by the natural elements like the weather or condensation. All our products have weather seals and use energy efficient glass that can help to keep out noise and reduce condensation.
