Are you thinking about adding a conservatory to your home but worried about how this might affect the security of your house? It is worth looking into the features of modern conservatories that make them much more difficult to break into than more traditional structures. The first way to maintain the security of your house is to keep the original outside door that leads into the conservatory, and keep it locked. This means that if someone were to break into the conservatory, they would still face the same barrier as they would have before you built the conservatory. If you do this, then the security of the rest of your house will not be compromised by adding a conservatory. In addition, conservatories are now built with security as an integral part of the design; a number of features of modern conservatories make them relatively difficult to break into in the first place. Conservatory panels are built with secure lockable units that are not easily broken. Modern doors have multiple hook points, making it extremely difficult to lever the door out of the door frame. In addition steel shoot bolts are used to lock the doors; these enter into steel keeper frames that are attached deeply into the frame, meaning the door is very tightly locked into the frame. The hinges of the conservatory door are also built to be robust enough that they would be very difficult to break and the joints of the door are also reinforced with steel. The strong construction of modern conservatory doors does not compromise their appearance; the superior materials used and construction techniques employed compared to older conservatories means they are far tougher without looking inelegant. Windows should always be lockable, with strong and well-crafted locks, and any windows that do not need to be opened can be screwed shut. Another important aspect of the security of a conservatory is how well-constructed the window frames are. It is possible now to buy conservatory window frames that are strengthened with galvanised steel. Modern PVC-U wall frames are also far from flimsy, consisting of multiple chambers such that the frame is very rigid, further toughening up your conservatory against intruders. Overall, it is very important to consider the security implications of adding a conservatory to your home, but if you keep your existing outside door, and buy from a company that puts security at the centre of their designs, security worries should not stop you from building your dream conservatory.
