How to Prevent Break-Ins with Stronger Glass Options
In Toronto, break-ins and vandalism are a growing concern for both homeowners and business owners. One of the most vulnerable points of entry? Glass doors and windows. While glass adds light and style, the wrong type can leave your property exposed.
At Elite Door and Glass, we specialize in installing security-grade glass that improves safety without sacrificing appearance. Here’s how you can protect your property with the right glass choices.
Why Standard Glass Isn’t Enough
Traditional glass panels are easy to smash, giving intruders quick access. Even double-pane glass, if not reinforced, offers little resistance to forced entry. Upgrading to stronger security glass is one of the most effective ways to reduce break-in risks.
Stronger Glass Options for Break-In Prevention
- Two or more panes bonded with a durable interlayer.
- Holds together when shattered, making forced entry much harder.
- Commonly used in banks, schools, and high-security storefronts.
- Four times stronger than regular glass.
- Breaks into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards.
- Ideal for doors and high-traffic entrances.
- Dual-pane glass reinforced with protective films.
- Adds both energy efficiency and break-in resistance.
- Cost-effective upgrade for homes and offices.
- Multiple layers of laminated glass and polycarbonate.
- Used in government buildings, jewelry stores, and sensitive facilities.
Additional Ways to Strengthen Glass Security
Install reinforced aluminum frames to support glass panels.
Use security films for added shatter resistance.
