Clearview Door Panels - Preparing Your Home For Winter
As autumn gets closer Clearview is busy helping homeowners prepare their home for winter by providing replacement front and back doors. Burglars often target older doors as they are easier to gain access through.
Our aluminium bifold doors allow Bromley homeowners to connect their home seamlessly with their garden. The glazed panels function as insulators preventing heat loss and cold transfer.
Multi-point locking systems
A safe door is an essential component of any home, and installing a multipoint locking system will improve the security of your home. Contrary to a conventional single-point lock, multipoint locks feature deadbolts that are located at multiple points along the entire length of the door panel. This makes them harder to get into and can provide you with peace of mind that your home is protected against unwanted intruders.
Multipoint locks are available from many different manufacturers and can be used on french doors, single entry doors and sliding doors. Some systems feature a central deadbolt and live bolts with hook bolts at the top and bottom of the door panels. They can be locked with keys or handles, and the locking points are swiveled into place to create an airtight seal.
Selecting the best multipoint lock for your home will rely on several factors. Be aware of the level and type of security you need, as well as the lifestyle and requirements of your family. If you have children who are small the lock that is simple to use for them, but is difficult to use for intruders to access, might be the best option.
Our high-security, insurance-approved multipoint locking systems are a great option to improve your home's security. They are also great for increasing efficiency in energy by creating a more secure seal against cold air and rain.
Sash jammers
Sash jammers are now a popular security feature for windows and doors. They can be fitted to either outward or inward opening uPVC windows and doors. They are an easy to install, affordable alternative to increase your home's security. They are easy to operate with just simply turning the Jammer Arm locking or releasing the sash.
They're a powerful deterrent to burglars as they offer an additional obstacle for criminals to climb over when trying to gain entry into your home. They also prevent windows from being opened in a forced entry scenario to protect your home from potential burglars who could use the window as an escape route if they were caught inside.
Sash Jammers are also useful in protecting your uPVC door or window from being pushed open by children, pets or other occupants. With a simple turn of the wrist, they can be installed and removed to provide peace of mind for you and your family.
You can pick between locking and non-locking jammers for the sash. It is essential to conduct your research before selecting the best one for you. You should consider a higher-end model with key locking that is more secure and is accessible from the outside. Consult a reputable lock expert when you're not sure what sash jammer to purchase. They'll be able to provide guidance and suggestions to fit your home.

patio doors bromley , from Bromley, wanted to replace his timber front door with a contemporary one. He wanted the appearance of his home to be diminished. Clearview created his new French door using frames made from strong aluminium, 4mm toughened glass that has an argon-filled cavity for excellent insulation. He picked the Comfort Plus glass option, which also helps to reduce noise and protect furniture against fading from damaging UV Rays.
Final touches
Homeowners are looking to make some improvements before winter arrives. James Mailey, from Bromley in London was contacted by Clearview to learn what new French doors would be the best for his home.
The team designed three panel doors, with frames made of strong aluminium and toughened glasses. The glass was also fitted with an argon cavity which offers great insulative properties.
Mr. Mailey chose an overlay stained glass panel instead of the traditional design that involved fixing small pieces of fragile tempered glass together using 'H" lead strips that were soldered in place. Overlay stained glass gives greater durability and security, as well as an improvement in the aesthetics.
