October is National Home Security Month, a timely reminder for homeowners to take a closer look at the safety and security of their properties. At Fitter Windows, based in Essex and serving areas including Chelmsford and Harlow, we understand that your home is more than just a place to live – it’s a sanctuary that deserves every level of protection. As a leading provider of high-quality uPVC windows, aluminium doors, composite doors, and more, we’re here to help you improve your home’s security with style and substance.
Why National Home Security Month Matters
National Home Security Month, organised by Yale, focuses on raising awareness about home safety and encouraging simple, practical measures that homeowners can take to reduce the risk of burglary and intrusion. It’s important to remember that a secure home starts with strong, resilient entry points. Doors and windows are the most vulnerable areas in any property, yet they also offer the greatest opportunities for upgrading your home’s protection without compromising on aesthetics or energy efficiency.
At Fitter Windows, we recommend using this month as a prompt to review your current doors and windows. For example, if you’re still using old timber or single-glazed units, upgrading to uPVC windows or aluminium windows with double glazing or even triple glazing can dramatically improve security, as well as thermal efficiency. Our windows have been designed with multi-point locking systems that not only provide peace of mind but also help reduce energy bills throughout the colder months.
If your front door looks worn or lacks robust locking features, this could be an open invitation for unwanted visitors. Our range of uPVC front doors and composite doors combine excellent security standards with eye-catching designs, ensuring your home is both attractive and well protected.

Secure Your Home with High-Quality Doors and Windows
Doors are the first line of defence against intruders, which is why choosing the right material and security features is essential. Modern uPVC front doors and composite doors from Fitter Windows come fitted with multi-point locking mechanisms, making them incredibly difficult to force open. Composite doors, in particular, are renowned for their strength, combining traditional aesthetics with a core of insulating materials that resist impact and weather damage.
For homeowners looking to maximise both security and style, our aluminium doors and bifold doors offer a perfect balance. Aluminium is a strong, lightweight metal that provides excellent resistance to break-ins. Aluminium bifold doors are a popular choice for modern homes in Chelmsford and Essex because they can open up entire rooms to the outside while maintaining security with toughened glass and advanced locking systems.
Our doors are also designed to complement the bespoke windows we install, allowing you to maintain a consistent and secure appearance across your property. Looking to upgrade your doors?

Double and Triple Glazing for Enhanced Security and Efficiency
When it comes to windows, upgrading to double glazing is often the first recommendation we make to homeowners in Harlow, Chelmsford, and across Essex. Double glazing provides an extra layer of protection by utilising two layers of glass separated by an insulating space. This design not only keeps the heat in but also makes it more difficult for intruders to smash through.
For those who want to go one step further, triple glazing offers even greater security and insulation. At Fitter Windows, we supply and fit both uPVC windows and aluminium windows with options for double and triple glazing to suit your requirements and budget.
Both double and triple glazed windows are fitted with high-security locks as standard. This leaves your home not only warmer and more energy efficient but also much more secure.
If you’re interested in increasing your home’s security with high-performance double or triple glazing, contact our friendly team to learn more about our windows and glass options.
