We not only want to offer our customers the ultimate peace of mind when it comes to security, we want to give them a service that has a proven track record for lowering the risk of crime.

Below, we take a look at the background of Secured by Design and how our products comply with their requirements.

What is Secured by Design?

Secured by Design, or SBD, is the name given to a collection of national police projects that concentrate on the design and security of refurbished and new homes, car parks and commercial properties. A core principle of their approach remains the idea of ‘designing out crime’.

To achieve this, SBD works in conjunction with various industries to raise the levels of security standards and to respond to trends in crime. A significant aspect of this is the design and improvement of security features in products like the uPVC windows and double glazing that we fit in Oxshott, as well as those at other access points like front doors and aluminium bi-fold doors.

Companies that prove adherence to the standards set by SBD gain status as a Secured by Design member company. This primarily involves passing tests put forward by the relevant police services, the results of which demonstrate an effectiveness in reducing or preventing crime, usually in the form of resisting a physical attack.
