Security & Glazing

Door & Window Locks

Home security is becoming increasingly important and it makes sense to ensure that your home and property are adequately protected.  Allfit can advise you on appropriate security measures, and can supply and fit the best types of door and window security locks to suit your individual circumstances.  Front doors, back doors, windows, patio doors, timber frame, UPVC or aluminium - we will provide the best security lock solution to safeguard your home or business.

Security Glass

Windows are typically the weakest point in any building: the only thing guarding the opening is a pane of glass, which is notoriously easy to break, particularly in single-glazed areas including the glazed panels in or around front and back doors. If you don't want to compromise on home security, it may be worth your while to consider installing laminated glass. Laminated glass consists of two thin layers of glass bonded each side of a poly vinyl burate (PVB) interlayer. When the glass is attacked, even with a hammer, it may fracture but remains in place, held by the PVB interlayer. Even toughened glass can be broken with a sharp blow, and when it does break, it shatters into thousands of sharp pieces - laminated glass does not shatter, and therefore offers both increased security and safety over standard or even toughened glass. Because of its durability, laminated glass is standard in car windscreens, shop windows, skylights, and prisons, and has the added benefit of offering improved soundproofing over normal window glass. Give Allfit a call on 01708 510578 to discuss how the installation of laminated glass could improve your home security.

Glazing Repairs

Allfit do not fit window frames, but we do specialise in glazing repairs.  If you have cracked glass, or fogged or defective double glazing units, we will effect the necessary repair to restore your glazed windows or doors to "as new" condition. Cracked glass is a safety and security risk, and in the case of double glazed units, reduces the thermal insulation properties.  Give us a call to put your glazing problems right.  We can replace individual panes of glass or entire double glazed units in both timber and UPVC frames.
