Windows and doors are two areas in your home that are most likely to be\u00a0subjected to damage during high-force windstorms, earthquakes, tsunamis, or other severe weather.<\/p>\n<p>Flying debris during severe weather can impact the integrity of your windows or doors, especially glass doors or windows as it can shatter inwards, posing a safety risk to you and your family. Once a window is broken, more risk is imposed as additional bits of larger debris during the storm can fly in and damage the interior of the home and its contents.<\/p>\n<p>If you live in an area prone to severe weather, it is very important to make haste and not overlook protecting your windows and doors for storm season.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-670 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/crimsafe.com\/los-angeles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/crimsafe_security_protect_windows_blog_desktop-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crimsafe.com\/los-angeles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/crimsafe_security_protect_windows_blog_desktop-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/crimsafe.com\/los-angeles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/crimsafe_security_protect_windows_blog_desktop-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/crimsafe.com\/los-angeles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/crimsafe_security_protect_windows_blog_desktop-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/crimsafe.com\/los-angeles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/crimsafe_security_protect_windows_blog_desktop-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/crimsafe.com\/los-angeles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/crimsafe_security_protect_windows_blog_desktop-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/crimsafe.com\/los-angeles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/crimsafe_security_protect_windows_blog_desktop-1280x1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/crimsafe.com\/los-angeles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/crimsafe_security_protect_windows_blog_desktop.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Protecting your windows in severe weather<\/h3>\n<p>Protecting your windows is extremely important leading up to storm season. An impacted window can bring serious impact to the interior of your home. Installing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/crimsafe.com\/security-windows\/\">security screens on your windows<\/a>\u00a0is one of the easiest ways to counteract high-force winds and protect against damage.<\/p>\n<p>Crimsafe offers window security screens that provide extra protection during a storm and is a strong barrier against hailstones and wind-borne debris such as rocks or branches. Additionally,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/crimsafe.com\/protect-your-home-from-wildfire\/\">Crimsafe protects against wildfires<\/a>\u00a0by providing the highest level of protection from ember attack, radiant heat, and the impact of burning debris on glass.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/crimsafe.com\/hurricane-window-protection\/\">Choosing the right storm screen for your window is important<\/a>, Crimsafe storm screens offer additional benefits that traditional storm shutters do not. Security screens do not have to be turned on, rolled down, or engaged; they are ready to protect your home 24\/7. The durable integrity of Crimsafe screens protects and allows for unobscured views while being custom fitted to windows, unlike storm shutters.<\/p>\n<p>Adding a security screen to your window is essential protection for your home. Crimsafe screens will reinforce your windows against severe weather damage while providing additional lifestyle benefits. Crimsafe screens protect your family and home from insects like flies and mosquitoes as well as burglars or intruders. The Tensile Tuff\u00ae\u00a0mesh used for Crimsafe window screens blocks up to 53% of solar heat gain and 62% of UV rays, making your home not only protected from severe weather but more energy efficient. Crimsafe screens provide a stylish and fresh look without detracting from the value, appearance, or protection of your home.<\/p>\n<h3>Protecting your doors in severe weather<\/h3>\n<p>Protecting your doors is equally important as protection for your windows. Glass doors are especially vulnerable during severe storms as high forces of wind can shatter glass inwards, sending debris flying into your home at dangerous speeds.<\/p>\n<p>Crimsafe security doors keep your family safe 24\/7, leading up to seasons of severe weather. Crimsafe is much stronger than other security screen competitors on the market. The technology behind Crimsafe screens is designed to outperform and can withstand up to 550 foot-pounds of force. With super strong steel mesh and screw-clamp technology, Crimsafe security door screens are able the hold mesh in place during severe weather with a vise-like grip.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/crimsafe.com\/los-angeles\/contact-us\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-650\" src=\"https:\/\/crimsafe.com\/los-angeles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/Crimsafe_RGB_Iconography_California_Positive_Option1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crimsafe.com\/los-angeles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/Crimsafe_RGB_Iconography_California_Positive_Option1.png 222w, https:\/\/crimsafe.com\/los-angeles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/Crimsafe_RGB_Iconography_California_Positive_Option1-121x150.png 121w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"animate h2 text-grey-darkest mb-4 animate-in\">Your local Los Angeles security experts are here to help.<\/h3>\n<h5>Crimsafe is the industry leader in stainless steel security screen products, custom-made right here in SoCal.
