Home Security: Keeping Old Windows Safe
A feature that is common in almost every dwelling built is the window. Windows come in all shapes and sizes, are in various locations in the dwelling and are made with different materials. Since a lot of windows are large enough to signify an entrance to your dwelling, be it a home, apartment, condo or dormitory, keeping them secure from intruders entering through them is essential in home security.
Single pain windows are common in a lot of older homes in America. Glass was expensive and an added expense for contractors and the standardization of double pain windows had yet to occur. The glass may be old and beautiful set in its original frame, but it poses several threats. First, in the event of severe weather rolling through town, a single pain window is much more likely to crack or break under pressure. The glass could easily shatter into the home posing a threat to those inside. Single pain windows are also much easier for potential thieves to break into because they are usually thinner than even a single pain of a double pain window and are easily broken in order to break into a home. Stained glass windows are also usually made with relatively thin glass and are only one pain in thickness. Like single pained windows in old homes, they pose a threat to home security for the same reasons.
Since both are beautiful and unique additions to homes, most often the occupants do not wish to do away with either, and especially not with stained glass windows. There are several things that you can do to keep your home safe, but also retain the original beauty of the home. First, you can fortify the original windows with another pain of glass from the interior or exterior of the home. By doing this, the window will be stronger to withstand the elements from outside and will be a harder entrance to the home for burglars to target. Second, you can re-apply window sealant between the window and the frame to fortify the connection between the glass and the frame, as well as prevent rotting which would also make the window less sturdy in the frame. Third, you can set your home alarm to sound should someone try to tamper with it or if a thief actually does break it. If your home or apartment has any single pain windows that you do not particularly care for, then it would be wise to get that window replaced with a stronger double pained window. These days they are relatively inexpensive and are cheaply installed if you don’t want to do the installation yourself.
Again, old homes often have beautiful old windows that the homeowners a lot of the time do not wish to remove. The old windows are part of the charm of the home or apartment. But it is even more important to be mindful of these single pained and stained glass window’s security than a standard double pained window.
