It is in our home that we try to find our own paradise; any and every comfort of the outside world seems to be a second fiddle to the comfort and happiness that we get in our house. We give in our best to make sure that our house is clean and beautiful. However it is equally important to ensure the safety and security of the house. A safe house is the key to a happy house. Certain points should always be kept in mind to ensure the safety of the house.

Implementing a few simple things makes the house safe and secure and relieves a lot of tension and worries of the owner.

• The architecture of the house should be designed keeping in mind the safety of the inhabitants. The design should be such that it becomes difficult for miscreants to easily enter the house or to break in very easily.
