A full house in Protec, Ormeau

The brief

The owners wanted every opening on the house secured in one go. Like a lot of homes in Ormeau's newer streets, the house sits close to its neighbours, with tall street-facing windows at the front and side windows looking straight at the next house.

What we fitted

• 14 Protec security window screens
• 1 Protec hinged security door on the front entry
• 1 Protec sliding security door
• Frames colour-matched to the window frames

Why Protec

The owners chose Protec for two reasons: extra privacy and added value. During the day, Protec's perforated aluminium sheet makes it hard to see in from the street or the house next door, while they can still see out. And a full set of tested, welded security screens with a 10-year replacement warranty is a genuine feature when the house is eventually sold.

The perforations also let the breeze through, so windows can stay open without giving up security.
