The safety of the house is always a concern for homeowners, especially when you have children. Here are a few tips to help keep the windows of your home secure:
- The window screen’s primary function is to keep insects out. If you want to prevent all forms of creepy-crawlies getting into your home when you’re out, never push against those screens. They aren’t built to support the weight of a child or a pet
- If you aren’t using the windows, keep them locked. This can dissuade potential intruders from breaking in. This can also prevent curious children from trying to open them.
- Try not to paint or nail windows shut. All of the windows of your home that are designed to be opened should be functional should an emergency situation arise.
- Refrain from putting decorative lights onto the frames of your windows. Should there be any problems with faulty wiring, this can be a fire hazard.
It pays to follow the above-mentioned tips to keep your windows intact and functioning. You may also need to consult an expert to check the condition of your windows.
