Unfortunately UK Businesses are burgled everyday with robberies happening every 38 seconds, with commercial property a prime target for criminals. Whether it be the theft of money, stock, equipment or even important documents it can be a stressful and time consuming process to get your company back up and running.

EFFECTIVE PHYSICAL SECURITY SOLUTIONS

One of the most effective ways to prevent property crime is to make the property itself as secure as possible, creating an unwelcome delay to the intruder. Planning in quality physical security from the outset is an investment worth making and is usually much cheaper and easier than adapting a property at a later date. The robustness of windows and doors through the installation of security roller shutters, steel doors, security window bars and security gates should not be compromised as a means of deterring the criminal. Well designed, physical security products will quickly pay dividends by reducing criminal damage, theft and ultimately insurance premiums.

STEEL SECURITY DOORS

Steel doors make unlawful entry significantly more difficult. Steel doors are manufactured in various sizes to fit a range of structural openings. New Security’s steel security doors are filled with 60mm rockwool, providing excellent strength, durability and thermal properties. Security doors are available in white, light grey or olive green and have a U value of 1.4. with our standard steel door sizes available for immediate dispatch.

SECURITY ROLLER SHUTTERS

Security roller shutters provide a high level of security to both windows and doors and can be used in a variety of applications protecting homes, commercial properties and industry. Security roller shutters are manufactured from galvanised steel or if stronger security is required heavy duty aluminium. External roller shutters can be powder coated to integrate with the property and the surrounding area.
To allow light and create a more aesthetic appearance, especially in pedestrian shopping areas, transparent or perforated security roller shutters should be considered. Research into town centers that have been redeveloped, using improved lighting and transparent roller shutters, overall crime rates have been found to be dramatically reduced.

SECURITY WINDOW BARS, SECURITY GRILLES & GATES

An alternative and cost effective solution to security roller shutters are fixed and removable window bars. These window bars are ideal on offices that require medium security but allow natural daylight to stream through. Security window bars are ideal on vulnerable windows on the back of properties especially smaller windows.
Security grilles and gates provide an exceptionally strong security barrier when locked into position. Security grilles again allow light through and are unobtrusive in design as they are retractable during the day and can be easily hidden behind a curtain. These security gates are ideal in larger openings as they can be manufactured to fit any structural openings.

WHAT IS LPCB / SECURED BY DESIGN APPROVAL

Local development control officers may impose formal planning conditions requiring the use of security enhanced doors and windows such as those referred to by Secured by Design. Secured by Design is the UK Police Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) flagship initiative supporting the principles of “designing out crime” by use of effective crime prevention and security standards for a range of applications. These security products are an extremely effective, image enhancing and cost effective way of creating physical security.
The Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) has been working with industry and government for more than 100 years to set the standards needed to ensure that fire and security products and services perform effectively. The LPCB work with insurers, police, designers, manufacturers, contractors and end users to develop methods by which product performance and reliability can be assessed. All the products approved by the LPCB have been subjected to rigorous testing to assess their resistance to deliberate attack. New Security is proud to be able to supply a range of security roller shutters, security gate and roller garage doors that have been LPCB approved.
