Allguard’s mission is to enhance the security of your home. We have been striving hard since we opened our doors in (1988) to deter criminals away from homes through various safety measures. While plantation shutters are a product that we offer our customers, we do not recommend them as a security measure.

The report claims that home burglary and motor vehicle theft are at an all-time low. This highlights our homeowners have become more diligent and precautious in ensuring the security of their property. Secure shutters go a long way in keeping your home safe and secure and ensuring you have peace of mind.
