In today’s world, security is more important than ever. Gone are the days when you could leave your front door unlocked without worrying about break-ins. Unfortunately, we now live in a time where break-ins and home invasions have become all too common. Whether it’s a stolen car, a break-in, or a home invasion, almost everyone knows someone who has experienced this or has been affected themselves.

Why Traditional Security Systems Aren’t Enough Anymore

Most homes and businesses today have some form of security system in place—whether it’s locks on doors and windows, cameras connected to monitored alarm systems, or even bars on ground-level windows. However, we’ve noticed that these traditional security measures are becoming less effective in today’s world. Thieves have adapted, and common deterrents like those mentioned above often don’t stop determined intruders.

Why Choose Laminated Glass for Maximum Security?

With over 30 years of experience in the window and door industry, Encore Home Improvements has seen it all. Throughout our history, we have been supplying and installing security windows and doors that provide superior protection for both homes and businesses. One of the most effective materials we offer is laminated glass, which has been used in windows and doors for decades.

Laminated glass is the same material used in automobile windshields. If a rock hits your windshield, the glass may crack, but it won’t penetrate, keeping you safe. This unique material consists of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) sandwiched between two layers of glass. Heat is applied to bond the PVB, making it completely transparent. As a result, laminated glass looks like ordinary glass but offers exceptional protection.

The Benefits of Laminated Glass

• Resistance to Break-Ins: Laminated glass can withstand repeated blows from tools like bats, hammers, and crowbars, making it much harder for intruders to break through.
• Total Transparency: Despite its strength, laminated glass is completely transparent, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your windows and doors.
• Bullet Resistance: Multiple layers of laminated glass can be made to be bullet-resistant, providing an extra layer of security.
• UV Protection: Laminated glass offers 99% UV protection, helping to protect your furniture and interiors from sun damage.
• Noise Reduction: Laminated glass reduces noise better than any other type of glass, ensuring a quieter home environment.
• Cost-Effective Protection: The added cost of laminated glass is minimal compared to the potential loss of property or safety, making it an affordable option for enhanced security.
