The places in your home that these home window security bars could be used, are as follows: • Basement windows are the most vulnerable entry points in your home & due to this fact, along with their size & location, home window security bars may want to be considered. • Some basement windows may be more vulnerable then others & if this is the case in your home, these windows should obviously be considered first. What makes one window more vulnerable than another is certain windows may have a blocked view. An intruder may break into a basement window without been seen, due to a privacy fence or some other structure on your property. In such cases these windows are more likely to be targeted by a would-be intruder making them more vulnerable than other windows. Basement windows that can be seen by a neighbor or from a public area, you may want to consider having a security film applied to the glass. The security film will protect the windows from been broken. In the case of any windows that cannot be seen a security film may not be the best security measure for these windows. The security film may certainly help but if an intruder can spend time on a window because he/she cannot be seen may be able to dismantle the window completely. If any basement windows in your home has a blocked view, home window security bars should be considered. An intruder seeing the bars may be enough to make most would-be burglars seek out a different entry point or possibly a different home.
