When choosing where to
build your home in Perth, you might want to get a good idea of the
security profile of each prospective neighbourhood beforehand. Yet
regardless of the relative lack of security concerns at a particular
site, it pays to be involved in your home’s actual design and make
sure it has adequate precautionary measures in place.
For instance, many
homes have window grills installed to serve as deterrents against
theft. To avoid limiting fire escape routes, some families opt for
retractable grills. Laminated glass is also an excellent material for
windows as it provides added strength without obstructing the view as
well as potential egress points.
While a perimeter fence
can keep burglars out, it may not be such a good option for homes
with limited space. Fortunately, windows and doors made of
impact-resistant materials like carbon fibre can help deter thieves.
Mesh security screens, which have been tested to hold their own
during forced entry, would also make good choices.
Finally, it is
advisable to install the optimum number of lighting fixtures on your
front yard. Most burglars like to work in the dark, after all, so
shining a few lights on strategic points will leave them exposed and
unable to do their dirty work.
