    Besides a alarm how exactly do i secure these?

    Are there burglar resistant windows and doors you can get installed from people in the psa listings?

    I know there is a diy forum but i would rather pay someone else to install this for me.

    This would have nothing to do with alarm installers or the PSA.
    I doubt any manufacturer would even claim to be burglar proof.

    This does not come under Home Security Systems .
    I have moved to Construction & Planning, the guys here may be able to help you more    .

    You could speak to a few window suppliers/manufacturers for some advice, KRG may be an option for the glazed areas but my guess is that price would be prohibitive.

    You could always consider shutters.

    I dont think you will get anyone in the PSA that covers anything like this.
    Things I would recommend are secure locks plus windows glazed from the inside rather than the outside. It is so easy to take glass out of a window glazed from the outside.

    Is this for a new build or are you trying to secure existing windows and doors?

    All windows and doors are burglar resistant to some extent.

    Are you seeking to replace old windows with new and more secure items ?

    There are different levels of security window gear. In Germany and across Europe they use a classification system for security levels.

    WK - Standard, WK1 - Medium Security, WK 2 - High Security

    There is no classification system in Ireland, this is so that we keep carefully in line with the government policy for having NO SYSTEM of building control ;)

    If you PM directly me I can probably assist you in finding the right type of product for you requirements.
