Security in the Home.
Security in the Home.

With the ever-present threat of burglary a mounting concern, home-owners are beginning to take more extreme precautions to deter intruders and safeguard not only their possessions, but themselves as well. The Home Office British Crime Survey 1999 found that the majority of burglaries occur as a result of insufficient security, with more than half taking place when no-one is at home, and a quarter occurring when someone is at home and aware of what is happening. As a result, installing internal secure doors to protect guns and other valuable possessions has become an increasingly common security measure, as well as a safe place for families to retreat to if intrusion occurs.

Silvelox offer a range of secure internal and external doors that provide the home-owner with consummate peace of mind.

Silvelox' range of secure doors include integrated security features which have passed rigorous tests to rank them up to a class 4 insurance rating, depending on which level of security strength you opt for:

  • Certified for burglar-resistance class 3, Medea offers the most affordable option without compromising on quality. This high-performing range is insulated with sound absorbent material and a draft excluder, the visible edge of the door finished with an aesthetic, pre-varnished strip and the handle created as standard in anodised aluminium.
  • The Perseo series is available at classification 3, offering a higher degree of security, complete with an internal double electro galvanised steel body and steel-finished door edge. Having passed tests in water resistance, air permeability and noise resistance, Optima is an excellent choice for those wanting something a little more comprehensive.
  • Finally, for the ultimate in security, the heavily reinforced Maxima range ranks highest at classification 4 and demonstrates the finest in architectural performance. Despite being the priciest option, Perfecta's double electro galvanised steel body ensures a long life and optimum protection against intruders, as well as air permeability, water and noise resistance. Other features include a motorised lock and electronic key function, complete with backup system in the event of a power cut.

Thanks to their commitment to design, Silvelox doors can also be individually designed to complement or enhance the architectural design of your property, inside and out, meaning that as well as providing unparalleled security, they do not have to be an unnecessary eyesore on your home.
