Last month we gave you our Buyers Guide for Security Grilles. Though we were rather thorough with that post, you can’t always fit every bit of information all in one place. So, to remedy that, we’re following up this month with everything else you should consider before purchasing a new security grille for your property.
Below you’ll find all you need to confidently choose a security grille that’s right for you.
Colour
Of course, security grilles are in place to do an important job. They protect your home or business from intruders and thieves. However, have you considered the aesthetic opportunities available to you when having grilles installed?
If you’re a business, it’s a missed opportunity if you don’t choose a colour that is on brand. It will highlight your business’s unique style, even when your premises is closed to the public. If you are looking to protect your home, then you are doing it a disservice if you choose a drab colour. Spice up your kerb appeal with a colour that complements your home.
Design
It is little known that if you choose to commission your security grilles, rather than buying them off the shelf, you can customise and personalise them to some degree. Of course, this is down to the skills and discretion of the security expert who is making your grilles. Unique designs, awkward window shapes and company logos can all be considered when buying bespoke. But you will have to enquire with your security grille specialist to work out whether your ideal security grille is achievable.
Size
The height of your security grilles will depend on the height of your windows and other openings. However, you have a decision to make regarding the width of the grilles. Grille width is up to the purchaser, and it can have an impact on security ratings and aesthetic appeal.
Most grilles are tough, narrow and therefore popular because they afford the best view from inside the premises. Wide grilles are stronger but not so readily available and will hinder the view ever so slightly more than a narrow equivalent.
Cost
If you find a particularly cheap security grille on offer, make sure to check its security ratings and specifications. You get what you pay for when it comes to security. So, increases in strength and durability will always be reflected in the price. If you value your security, then be prepared to pay a little more. Don’t worry, the additional benefits will be worth it should the unthinkable happen!
