3 ways to keep your West Yorkshire home secure this winter

We here at Emereo wouldn’t be doing our due diligence if we didn’t inform local homeowners about the worries Winter can bring. Despite the excitement of Christmas lights and Snowmen, thieves and criminals utilize the cold month as an ideal opportunity to target homes. Fortunately, there is plenty you can do to keep your property secure while enjoying peace of mind. Here are three top tips for keeping your home secure…

1. Invest in a composite door

You may have heard the term “composite door” before – and for good reason! Simply put, they are by far the most secure and thermally efficient entrance solution around. This is because composite doors come engineered using a mixture of different dense materials, all of which act as a solid layer of defence against criminals (as well as the cold). With a 48mm solid core panel, composite doors from Emereo are roughly 10% thicker than most others available on the market, integrating cylinder locks from Ultion (the UK’s leading security brand) as standard to achieve two key certifications: Secured By Design, which means the product meets police standards set by the police, and PAS24 accreditation, which guarantees that your door can resist a high level of attack. Our composite doors have been put through their paces, and are the ultimate in front entrance defence as a result.

2. Reinforce your windows with multi-point locking

Windows might be the eyes of the home, referred to as such because they allow you to see out as well as in. However, as great as this is for light entry, this also makes them one of the most popular points of entry that thieves lurking in the winter will target. That’s why ensuring that all of your home’s windows are properly secure can bring absolute peace of mind, which we can provide by integrating multi-point locking to keep any unwanted visitors successfully warded off. Whether you want your existing windows upgraded or are in need of fresh frames outright, our team is equipped to fit modern lock systems that further eliminate the risk of being broken into.

3. Consider double or triple glazing over standard

Upgrading your home with either double- or triple-glazed windows and doors helps create entranceways that are extremely more difficult to break from the outside. No modern home should be suffering from the draughty discomfort that comes as a result of single-glazed frames anyway. For those West Yorkshire homeowners who haven’t had the chance to upgrade their old glazing just yet, we at Emereo are well-equipped to help you do something about it. Adding an extra layer of defence in the form of double- or triple-glazed frames ups security, but also has the benefit of reducing your energy bills, too. Everyone is a winner!
