Figures from the latest Crime Survey for England and Wales state that between the months of March 2016 and March 2017, 650,000 households were estimated to be victims of domestic burglary.

Since the mid 1990’s there has been a downtrend in the likelihood of experiencing a home burglary, yet there still resides a 2.7% chance of it happening to you. A total of 13,650 households reported that more than one burglary had occurred at their home in the space of a year.

It is these high-risk areas where security roller shutters are required to provide protection. Not only do they provide a deterrent, they also give homeowners the highest level of security for their property as well as peace of mind if they should have to leave their premises unattended at any time.

Home Security

You only have to walk down any high street to realise the importance of roller shutter security; almost every business in a town centre will have roller shutters installed on doors and windows to protect their wares from intruders out of working hours.

Enquiries increase every year from homeowners curious to how installation of a shutter system can help bring added protection to their home.

Security shutters have come a long way over the years and one of the main reasons homeowners were so sceptical about installing shutters on their home in the first place is because of their bulky and unsightly appearance.

Modern shutter systems are made to measure and are therefore highly customisable. Some options include:

• Compact slat size for a less intrusive appearance
• Ventilated profiles which allow more air to pass through into your home
• Colour matching on both the slats and housing so it can match your window and door frames
• Motorised operations with a choice of controls, wall switches, remote controls and integration into home automation systems.
• Various security levels from certified designs which are all insurance-approved.
