Beat the heat and beat the burglars

August 2003 : Beat the heat and beat the burglars

BEAT THE HEAT AND BEAT THE BURGLARS

As we throw our windows open in blissful abandon to invite a cool breeze into our homes we are also making life easier for the opportunistic burglar.

The current heat wave has unfortunately also brought with it an increase in burglaries as homeowners leave windows and doors open creating an easy point of entry for burglars.

The good news is that we do not have to be stifled by the heat. Continental style working external shutters are now available in this country. They are an excellent deterrent against crime and look good too.

When closed, they make it safe for windows to be kept open – the louvered slats allow for ample ventilation, which is especially pleasant at night and gives peace of mind while asleep. During the day they also provide shade to protect furniture and fabrics from direct sunlight.

Real working external shutters offer good security when away on holiday or to properties left unattended for any length of time.

The new range of St Tropez external shutters are custom made in a wide range of colours. Made from aluminium, they are very strong and above all – maintenance free.
