Staying Secure

Although access control systems are incredibly important to control the traffic that comes in and out of your building, these efforts are for naught if the building itself is not physically strong. For example, what good is a front door that requires a swipe card and pass code to unlock if your back windows can be prised open by any keen opportunist?

The fewer windows a facility has the more secure it will be, but unless you are building a military bunker this will be severe overkill – and not too popular with your staff either! The best solution is to ensure you invest in well made, strengthened double glazing. The technology used in double glazing has come on leaps and bounds over the last couple of decades, allowing for panes that will withstand anything short of a breezeblock without compromising on the clarity of the light that is let through. Your double glazing can also be installed so as limit the aperture when the window is opened, ensuring fresh air can be let in without risk.

Another area that a lot of companies overlook is their air conditioning vents. Although the concept of a thief crawling through air-ducts is very much rooted in the fictional worlds of movies and novels, it doesn’t stop people from trying, potentially causing some real damage in the process. Therefore securing all external vents with heavy duty grills should also be a priority.
