Boost your home security this winter with strong windows and doors. Discover how modern upgrades keep your property safe, warm, and secure.

With burglary rates rising sharply during winter, now is the time to review how secure your home really is. The truth is simple: your windows and doors are the first line of defence. Weak frames, poor locks, or outdated glazing can turn them into an open invitation for intruders.
At GFD Homes, we know that modern upgrades make all the difference. Composite doors with solid timber cores and Ultion 3-star locks resist forced entry attempts, while aluminium windows with multi-point locking and laminated glass transform vulnerable points into robust barriers. Bifold and sliding doors, once seen as weak links, are now engineered with anti-lift tracks, shoot bolts, and PAS 24 standards, making them as secure as your front entrance.
This winter security guide pulls together our best advice — from customer success stories to expert tips on locks, accreditations, and layered protection. Beyond safety, secure windows and doors also deliver real comfort: improved insulation, reduced draughts, and lasting kerb appeal.
Peace of mind is priceless. Upgrading your doors and windows isn’t just about keeping burglars out; it’s about creating a home where you can relax, entertain, and enjoy the season with confidence.
