Safety Features Every Home Should Have

November 3, 2022

There are so many different kinds of features to consider when designing your new home. One area you don’t want to skip is safety. With so many options to choose from, consider these possible features to help keep you and your family safe.

Smart Home Security

Smart home features are all the rage, and setting up an all-inclusive smart home security system is easier than ever. Control your home’s features from anywhere using your phone! The most common areas smart security systems can monitor include door and window sensors, motion detectors, alarm systems, cameras, and smoke detectors.

Lighting

Lighting can help keep your home safe in a few different ways. Outdoor motion sensor lights safely illuminate your path at night, making it easier for you to see. Floodlights can also help you to see any unwanted visitors on your property. You could even consider motion-activated stair lighting indoors to help you see where you’re walking when it’s dark.

Cameras

Front door cameras have been popular for a few years now and are a great safety feature for your new home. You might also include cameras inside your home to monitor family members when you’re not around. Additional outdoor cameras can help keep your home safe by providing additional visualization for all areas of your property.

Fire and Weather Safety

It might be smart to choose pre-treated or fireproof materials when building your new home. Another option to consider is to include a safe room in your floor plan to protect yourself from dangerous weather conditions. If your home has multiple levels, make sure to include additional smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and fire extinguishers on each floor.
