When it comes to the Covid 19 pandemic, although in many ways we have learned to live with it by now, we have been faced with many unpredictable turns and consequences in all areas of life, in the last couple of years now. We can therefore say that although it is difficult to predict anything for the coming autumn, there are a number of factors that we can consider based on past experiences. It certainly makes for an interesting discussion, so let’s see what we can expect in terms of home security this fall, against the backdrop of this long drawn out pandemic.

With over 25 years experience manufacturing concertina security grilles for homes and businesses, we have seen all types of domestic and commercial burglaries, so we tend to be on the more cautious and realist end of the spectrum in such discussions. We are seeing every day first hand, that everybody tends to think a burglary won’t happen to them, until it does. So here are a few thoughts that concern us for the next coming seasons.

Further job losses are inevitable in the economy unfortunately with furloughs ending in sight. All sorts of supply shortages continue to overshadow a number of businesses and entire industries. Whilst the upheaval of lorry drivers in only one side of the story, this has much more far reaching effect on a wide range of goods coming into the country, generally slowing everything down. In turn, prices are increasing. Building products is one of the worst hit industries, with everyone doing DIY during the pandemic it has forced supply problems, leading to considerable price increases. Christmas itself of course is another factor that is easy to predict what will happen and where shortages are most likely to impact businesses. All of these factors presumably further impact the economy, bringing more uncertainty, after an already unsteady few years.

In addition, there are all the other usual factors that are inherent at this time of the year. These include darker nights drawing in, with longer hours of darkness building up, and people leaving their homes for extended holidays. In view of these, crime rates are expected to increase by around 20% this fall and winter. Interestingly we can also mention here the price of gold, that remains steadily high, that burglars also actively look out for at times of uncertainty.

Concertina Security Grilles

Having been working in the security industry, and having seen a lot of burgled homes and businesses over the years, we firmly believe that our expandable security grilles are the best deterrent to stop any potential burglars entering a property. CCTV, burglar alarms, security lighting are all valid forms of upgrading security measures on a property. However the reality is, and drawing from our experience the only way to really stop any potential burglar is installing a physical barrier. We can attest however that door and window security grilles do not have to look unsightly. Safeguard Security sliding grilles are aesthetically pleasing, easy to operate, and when locked they do give the protection required.

Even without the added consequences of the pandemic, crime rates almost always see an increase during the winter months. The dark nights are on us and this is the time to start thinking about home security.

We find that in times like this, it is very easy to let our guards down with everything going on: the easing of lock down, the nice weather, the opening of retail and entertainment industries, the restarting of the economy & tourism, the declining covid19 cases, and our cravings for social life again. Yet, we all know that the more we let things go from our minds, the easier target our homes, businesses and any valuables may become for burglars. Let’s therefore remind ourselves some of the potential risks, and most important security considerations.

With the holiday season approaching, and people returning to workplaces, many homes will be left empty regularly, and for longer periods of time. This undoubtedly makes an easy target for opportunistic burglars. Leaving all windows and doors locked securely, activating alarm systems, regularly emptying letter boxes, hiding any valuables, & leaving any keys in a safe place is all standard, but very important precautions we can take.

Sliding Security Grilles

Warm weather will also often call for windows and doors be left wide open during most of the day, and even during the night. Whilst it is great to enjoy the fresh air again, it is even more important to still bear safety in mind. If windows and doors do not have any security grilles yet, it may be a great time to consider upgrading such security features of both homes and commercial properties. Security window and door grilles are simply the ultimate security solutions, that not only act as a visual deterrent for burglars, but also present a physical barrier that will immediately overpower any attempt to break in.

As market leaders in manufacturing window and door security grilles for over 25 years, we are confident that our sliding security grilles provide the ultimate security solution, where property owners can feel relaxed and safe, knowing no intruder is likely to ever break them. Made of durable aluminium, they are super easy to operate, yet, will never erode like iron or steel.

All our products are made to measure, so perfect fit is also guaranteed for every shape of window or door. Our collapsible security grilles are also the neatest high security solution, with very discreet and elegant design, that also take very small space when retracted.

Finally, best price is also guaranteed as we manufacture our products ourselves, leaving out any extra figures for any sales man. When it comes to looking into security upgrades, we feel it is always an important priority to ensure a safe environment, but before the holidays it is even more highly recommended to look into. As they say, the best time was yesterday, but the next best time is today!

Research shows that staying in a regularly aired room may reduce the risk of spreading infected particles by 70%, therefore significantly preventing transmission of the coronavirus indoors. It is well known that airborne viruses, including Covid-19, are spread by people speaking, sneezing, coughing, blowing their noses, etc. Considerable amounts of air droplets and smaller particles are generated this way. These can then accumulate and linger around in enclosed spaces for hours, ready for other people to breath these in, and get infected. It is therefore crucial that we ventilate our spaces regularly, and throughout the day and night, so these particles are diluted thoroughly.

Airing Safely with Security Door Grilles

Fresh air is extremely beneficial as it not only helps to reduce the risk of infection, but also aids recovery once someone is infected. Government and NHS provide clear guidelines that it is advised to keep lounge doors, and bedroom windows slightly open to aid a healthy level of fresh air circulation indoors. Our security door grilles provide an optimum solution throughout the day, and even during the night for this, whilst still staying secure at home.

Our security door grilles not only serve us well during those breezy summer nights, when we can sleep safely with our windows open, but it seems ever more important now when our health is at constant risk in any enclosed space. With the self-installation option of our security window and door grilles we can also guarantee the easiest, socially distant and safest solution on the market for both our customers, and our employees. So and let’s air that room continuously, and especially before, during, and after any visitor in our spaces. Let’s allow that ventilation to flow nicely and do its best in keeping us healthy, whether or not we already have people with symptoms in our household. As always however, let’s not compromise on safety!
