Building Better Security for Architects & Spec Writers

Architects and specification writers face the critical challenge of selecting security solutions that effectively address potential threats without compromising aesthetic integrity or functional quality. These professionals must carefully balance security requirements with design vision, ensuring that both interior and exterior security products seamlessly complement the building’s architectural character. Beyond immediate appearance and functionality, there’s an equally important need to verify that security systems will deliver reliable, long-term performance for years to come.

Security challenges facing architects and spec writers:

• Design Inflexibility
  Architects require security products that can be customized to meet their specific architectural designs.
• Inconsistent Standards
  The chosen security system must adhere to industry standards and codes.
• Unclear Specifications
  Architects and spec writers need information that is easy to import and understand to ensure the best results.
• Complex Installations
  If the solution is difficult to install, the project schedule will be pushed back, affecting deadlines and potentially costs.
