Active Partnerships with Police Forces & Crime Prevention Organisations

Over 120 Years Expertise & Experience

LPCB accredited security levels (when �tted in accordance with guidlines **)

Why Securilath ™?As potential break-ins through doors and windows have been ‘target-hardened’ by grilles, shutters and alarms, would-be intruders have turnedtheir attention to forced entry through walls, partitions, ceilings and roofs.

To counteract this, the Securilath™ system has been developedas a discreet method of signi�cantly delaying the most determinedintruder from creating an aperture large enough to gain entry to yourclient’s premises.

Securilath™ can be installed at the time of construction into internal orexternal walls (solid or stud), ceilings and roofs, or can be retro-�tted whilstrefurbishment is carried out. The option of �nishing with dry lining or renderis not lost with Securilath™, as our range covers both options. Details oftypical installations are shown opposite.
