If you live in Las Vegas or Henderson you already know single story homes are an easy target. It is part of the desert lifestyle. Open layouts. Wide lots. Easy access. But what many homeowners do not realize is that this design also makes the home much more accessible to someone trying to break in.
On a single story house every single window and sliding door sits at arm level. This means anyone walking up to the home can reach a window lock twist a latch or break the glass without needing a ladder or any effort. It is fast quiet and exactly why so many residential break ins happen through ground level entry points.
Police reports across the valley show the same trend year after year. Intruders choose the easiest access point and most of the time that point is a window on a single level home.
Why Regular Window Screens Offer Zero Real Protection
Most homeowners believe their standard window screens add a slight barrier. They do not. Traditional mesh can be pushed in with a single hand or cut in seconds. A sliding door screen offers the same level of protection which is basically none at all. They are built for bugs and airflow not security.
When you combine easy access with weak screens it becomes clear why single story homes are targeted first. Intruders know they can get inside quickly and quietly.
How Security Screens Change the Game for Single Story Homes
Our Secuirty Screens are made with stainless steel mesh is strong enough to withstand up to 380 pounds of force. Our custom frames have no visible outside screws that can be tampered with. Our triple locking system on doors prevents the easy pry attempts that criminals rely on. When you put this level of protection on every reachable window it turns the weakest point of the home into the strongest.
Instead of an intruder testing your window and slipping in within seconds they run into a barrier that cannot be kicked in or cut through. Most criminals give up immediately because they want fast access and single story homes with security screens no longer provide that.
The Mental Side of Living in a Single Story Home
One thing homeowners often mention after a break in is how exposed they felt knowing that a stranger entered their home without effort. The fear does not go away quickly. A single story layout is wonderful for daily living but it also means your family is closer to every window and door. It is comforting to know that you have a real barrier between your home and the outside world especially at night.
Security screens give homeowners peace of mind simply by knowing that every first floor entry point is reinforced with something that cannot be forced open by hand.
