How your home's Security can improve kerb appeal
Category Advice
Most of us accept that home security measures are a necessity, but did you know that your choice of barrier can affect your home’s kerb appeal when it’s on the market?
First impressions count
People approaching your home for the first time may not be aware of it, but they’re mentally storing an impression of what they see. Buyers are looking for clues as to what lies beyond the front door in terms of their aesthetic requirements; home robbers will be checking out the security measures they need to breach. Trellidor offers some security barrier designs that will help keep the thieves out but also add to the home’s kerb appeal.
Trellis-style gates and window protection
Trellis-style security gates and burglar bars are perennial favourites. They can look fresh in white or stylish in matt black or bronze. They can be designed to secure just about any type of door or window and you can choose between fixed units or retractable ones for windows.
Trellidor manufactures several models, each with varying strengths under attack, and with help from your Trellidor franchise you can select the one that best suits your home’s risk profile or vulnerability. They are highly visible from the outside and will certainly help to deter opportunistic robbers.
Sleek and contemporary security screens
Trellidor Clear Guard security screens not only look very attractive and totally unlike security barriers, but also provide excellent protection against a break-in. They consist of a stainless steel mesh panel framed in aluminium and can be made to work with your door or window no matter how it works.
One of the biggest selling points of this range is that you can see right through the security gate’s mesh panel, so you won’t be caught by surprise by anything happening out there, potential buyer or possible thief. Another great feature is that the mesh helps to screen out strong wind, sunlight, mosquitoes, miggies, monkeys, flies and baboons.
Lock-down aluminium roller shutters
Aluminium roller shutters are another modern alternative . Trellidor Rollerstyle is a particularly attractive design as they have a discrete roller shutter box that can be recessed into a cavity above the door or window. This means that it rolls up completely out of sight when you want your home to look open and airy.
When you need to close up and secure your home, the closed shutters look smart, clean-lined and present a formidable obstacle to house robbers trying to find a way inside. The shutters can be automated and controlled from a hand-held remote or wall mounted panel.
