'No More Arson' Letter Box

IdealGuard™ secure letter box is recommended by leading UK fire safety and green build specialists and nominated for international and national awards as Best Passive Protection Product (Fire Excellence Awards 2011) and best Retrofit Product (Greenbuild Awards 2012)

Look at your entrance door with a letter box or at the replacement 'secure' and 'eco' entrance door that you are offered by a supplier. Door material and hinges may be strong and durable, letterplate flap may be tight plus a secondary flap and a letter box draught excluder with brush strips may be fitted. Door locks, access control, burglar alarm, CCTV system, etc. - all may be in place and truly sophisticated.
And yet, ask yourself and the supplier: would this door be acceptable, as long as it cannot protect against letter box crime and vandalism, such as arson, firework attacks, access to door locks for burglary, theft of mail, theft of car keys, etc. and against loss of house heat when a rolled up newspaper or mail items are left half way through the letter box.
Once you recognise the problem, you will realise that such doors advertised as 'secure' and 'eco' doors, are not secure and not eco and the next step is to decide what can be done here.
Perhaps in this situation you may be offered fitting one of the available on the market 'anti-arson' or 'fire-proof' letter boxes or mail bags that come with or without a fire extinguisher. But beware its dark side: if such product that rely on containing the flammable liquid poured through the letterplate is fitted indoor, in effect you create a potential bomb in the premises. As it happens in real life, when the poured in liquid accelerant is contained and ignited this usually leads to explosion.
Would it solve the problem if the letterplate is replaced by the USA or European-style external mail box? Certainly it would not be appropriate in most cases. It may mean replacing the whole door in the existing properties, nuisance with getting to your mail, letting warm air out through the open door, frustration with the locks and keys that tend to get lost and there is a certain architectural heritage issue here. Plus the mail box is a well-known target for vandalism and mail theft.
LEARN ABOUT NEXT GENERATION LETTER/MAIL BOXES
The mail delivery through a letterplate is universal in the UK. However, along with advantages, this has a number of serious drawbacks. The letterplate is the only part of a property that is publicly accessible 24 hours. Therefore, if it is unprotected, the property and the occupants are exposed to all four main risks defined by the Insurance industry: from fire, water damage, malicious damage and weather-related damage.
The unprotected or under-protected letterplate endangers lives, undermines investments in property security and energy-saving and spoils the chances for reaching the UK's Government 2050 target of reducing CO2 emissions from all dwellings by an average of 80%.
The popular security products on the market, like CCTV, alarms, sophisticated door locks, emergency lighting, secondary flaps, etc. are useless for solving letter box physical security problems.
As currently there is no standard that would address the vital for the UK letterplate and letter box related problems, such as performance against arson and energy saving, the market is full of the outdated, inadequate and plainly nonsense products that are ineffective in the real world situations.
Quite often entrance doors with the letterplate, which is unprotected or 'protected' by the inadequate under-performing products, would fall short of the demands for fire safety and energy performance imposed by the current mandatory legislation, such as The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, Building Regulations Part B (Fire safety) and Part L (Conservation of Fuel and Power). These doors can be real killers for the property occupants.
Finding a low cost solution that would not require door replacement and would work along with the traditional letterplate without disruption to mail delivery was a serious challenge facing the security, energy-efficiency and cutting CO2 emissions in Britain.

LETTER AND MAIL BOX ARE COMMONPLACE PRODUCTS THAT WERE LIKELY TO BE IGNORED UNTIL THEY BECAME EXCITING ASSETS WITH THE IdealGuard™ LIFE-CHANGING REVELATION
Security

A letterplate is a sizeable hole in an exterior door and the major concerns are arson and firework attacks, access to door locks for burglary, theft of car keys and theft of mail. Since letterplates are universal in the UK, many properties are at risk of these shocking serious crimes where CCTV, alarms, good door locks and tight flaps cannot help.
Accidents where inflammable liquid accelerants are used are especially dangerous, as liquid accelerants give out twice as much heat from the same mass as solid ones, burn twice as fast and may produce large quantities of flammable vapours, which may lead to an instantaneous explosion.
Based on a revolutionary new generic concept developed by PowerPrize Limited, IdealGuard™ brand is not just innovative. It is groundbreaking with liquids expelled out due to the force of gravity and solid hazards filtered out at letterplate point.
By designing hazards out rather than trying to provide protection after there is a developed problem, IdealGuard™ secure letter box prevents most of the real world accidents, such as when litres of liquid accelerant are poured in and ignited. Problem solved.
Clearly, it is much more preferable to fence in the letter box from the hazards rather than relying on any measures, including a fire extinguisher, for dealing with them later on after the problem, such as fire, had started.
For this and a number of further reasons IdealGuard™ secure letter box is very cost-effective security product.
Energy saving and the environment
IdealGuard™ secure letter box physical security superiority is however only one dimension of this universal product. By fully insulating the letter box from draughts and massive heat loss when the letterplate is open (often for hours, when stuck by a newspaper or mail items) most properties will also benefit from reducing the energy bills and cutting CO2 emissions from the building, which will contribute to national CO2 reduction targets.
With the cost of energy rising IdealGuard™ secure letter box is designed to make properties more energy-efficient and therefore better shielded from rising energy prices.
Plus the mail will not fall on the floor, so the comfort, hygiene and internal aesthetic appearance of the property will be improved too.
As an integrated approach, IdealGuard™ retrofit solution is very cost-effective. It makes sense to insulating the letter box by fitting IdealGuard™ secure letter box before, or alongside, the installation of other products/technologies for security, energy saving and cutting CO2 emissions from properties.
A MUST - HAVE FOR HOME AND BUSINESS
Main benefits
IdealGuard™ secure letter box lifesaving, ethical and green products, which can pay for themselves, are built for those discriminating customers, who demand the most superior performance and the best value for money rather than superficial assessments and false promises.

As best value low cost retrofit products they are highly beneficial for improving comfort, security, energy saving and enhancing aesthetics of the domestic and non-domestic properties when delivered either as a standalone product or as part of wide-ranging home improvement/refurbishment packages and projects.
The retrofitting of IdealGuard™ secure letter box products can save lives, protect the property and the assets, reduce energy bills and cut CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. It would be an easy, practical and cost-effective step for maintaining the compliance with a number of the current pieces of legislation in the UK, such as The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, Building Regulations, the Housing Act 2004, The Housing Health, Safety Rating System (HHSRS) and The Climate Change Act 2008 if the UK is to meet its ambitious emissions reduction targets.
Also, IdealGuard™ secure letter/mail box products are unique in taking care of the mail delivery person's health and well-being at work.
Cost-effective
At the first glance it seems that fitting IdealGuard™ secure letter box would add up to the door security but to door costs too. This is true, initially. However, the product real effectiveness should be weighed up by considering its full-life costs.
Simple calculation proves that fitting maintenance-free IdealGuard™ secure letter box for physical security and reducing insurance premiums is much more economical than damaged property restoration, replacing contents and stolen valuables, paying increased insurance premiums and suffering the consequential loss.
With current energy prices IdealGuard™ can pay for itself in many properties in a couple of years and the savings on energy bills will escalate year after year. If you are a landlord, incredibly, you can get the draught proofing IdealGuard™ products for FREE by claiming energy saving tax allowance (LESA) on each property you own.
Therefore, amazingly, fitting IdealGuard™ is cost-effective and makes financial sense even if an accident would never happen at the property.

Uniquely designed as multi-purpose (multifunctional) the IdealGuard™ products are suitable for housing and deployment of various items and technology solutions, like Key Cabinet, an alarm, entry phone, electronic door viewer, etc. So, the true potential of the products is vast.
