Ensuring your sash windows are locking correctly and securely is a great way to check the condition of your windows.

If they have not been looked after, over time your locks may have bent or begun rusting, not locking as securely as they should.

Ensuring you have modern, quality glass for your windows is a vital way to add security to your home. Many older sash windows may feature single glazed windows, and although the traditional style looks great, it can be a major security risk. Opting for double glazing or even toughened safety glass is an excellent way to add an extra level of security to your property while keeping the great traditional look synonymous with sash windows. One of the extra benefits of toughened safety glass is the special, visible mark that appears on the glass, proving a great deterrent for intruders.
