Beat the burglars

Protect your property during the darker nights, says SAM WYLIE-HARRIS

WHILE we look forward to wintry warming gatherings, the longer nights have their dark side.

“There’s a noticeable link between the onset of longer nights and heightened concerns about home security,” says Anthony Threlfall, head of marketing at Everest.

“Beyond the financial implications, the emotional toll of a burglary can be life-altering,” he adds. “We want to empower homeowners with practical advice to help them feel more secure and regain peace of mind.”

UPGRADE YOUR WINDOWS

“For most domestic burglaries, adding levels and layers of ‘annoyance’ is going to provide a much-needed deterrent,” says Anthony.

He says today’s high-performance windows are precision-engineered for resilience - and play a vital role in home security.
