The Importance of Shield Security Windows
Traditional residential windows are prone to breakage due to their inherent weaknesses: lousy locks, wood construction, and fragile glass. Even advanced manufacturing processes designed to mass produce windows typically don’t emphasize security in the design. Large windows, double or triple-pane glass, and wooden or composite frames with basic locks are especially at risk, as criminals can exploit these features to gain entry.
According to the FBI, there are:
Over 1 million residential burglaries annually | 56% are through forced entry | Amounting to $30 billion annually in property losses
