At Droylsden Glass Ltd, we’re always striving to offer our customers the best in home improvement – not just in look and build-quality, but in security too. That’s why we’re proud to support and offer upgrades using the smart system from Kubu — a high-security solution that works hand-in-hand with the windows and doors we supply and install.

Here’s how Kubu, when paired with our products, helps keep your home secure — and why you should consider this upgrade for your next door or window project.

Why we’ve chosen Kubu

• Kubu is described as a “range of high-security smart sensors that monitor the status of your doors and windows in real time and will alert you if there’s anything to worry about.

 

• At Droylsden Glass we’ve been serving homeowners for over 40 years in Greater Manchester with high-quality windows and doors. It makes sense that when we install a new door or window, we also provide the option to integrate modern smart-security upgrades rather than leaving the opening as simply “locked or unlocked”. 
• By combining our secure physical products (doors, windows, locks) with Kubu’s smart sensors, you get a layered defence: strong hardware and intelligent monitoring. 

What Kubu brings to your doors & windows

When we supply and install your door or window, you can choose Kubu-sensors as an upgrade. Here are the key features you’ll benefit from:

• Real-time status monitoring: Kubu sensors tell you remotely whether a door or window is locked, not just open/closed.

 

• Instant alerts: If a window is left in vent mode, or unlocked by mistake, or opened unexpectedly, you’ll get a notification on your smartphone or tablet.
  

 

• Historical data & analytics: The system keeps a log of events, so you can review past activity (e.g., “which doors were opened/unlocked at what time”).

 

• Weather-resistant, built for the UK: The sensors are designed to cope with British weather and be reliable year-round.  
• Compatible with homes: Kubu works with a wide range of door/window types — uPVC, aluminium, composite frames — so when we install your new product we can ensure compatibility.
  

How we integrate it in your installation at Droylsden Glass

Here’s how we handle the process to make sure the smart upgrade is seamless:

1. Design & Order Phase – When you visit our showroom, we’ll discuss not just the door or window style, but the optional smart-security upgrade. We’ll check the door/window frame is compatible for a “Works with Kubu” sensor. 
2. Survey & Fit – When our surveyor visits your home, we check that the locking mechanism and frame can accommodate the Kubu sensor. Then at installation, we fit the door/window as usual and install the Kubu sensor module so that everything is aligned for secure locking + monitoring. 
3. Setup & Activation – Once installed, you connect the sensor via your WiFi (or hub) and set up the mobile app. We give you instructions or can assist setting it up to ensure you receive notifications and can view status. 
4. Aftercare & Support – With our strong track record (5 stars on Trustpilot from many customers), we also support you if any sensor alert or hardware issue arises. The smart sensor is an extension of the service we provide. 

Why this matters in day-to-day security

• Many burglaries happen through doors or windows that seem locked but maybe aren’t properly secured. Kubu addresses that risk by telling you exactly their status. 
• Even if you’re away from home, you can check: is the side door locked? Is the upstairs window secure? That gives real peace of mind. 
• With darker evenings and longer nights (especially in winter), the “someone might be watching your home” factor grows. Smart monitoring enhances the deterrent. 
• As glazing experts, we know that good frames, locks, and glass are vital — but technology like Kubu takes you one step further, adding visibility and control. 

Consider this upgrade if you:

• Are having a new front door or patio/sliding door installed and want it to be as secure and smart as possible. 
• Want to retrofit smart monitoring for windows (especially accessible ones) so that you know if they’re been left open or unlocked. 
• Travel or spend long hours away from home and want real-time alerts about your entrance points. 
• Are concerned about energy loss (windows left open) or want to maximise both security and efficiency. 

In summary:

At Droylsden Glass, we’re not only installing doors and windows that look great and perform well — we’re also ensuring they work smartly. With Kubu’s smart sensors integrated into our installations, you get physical quality and intelligent monitoring. If you’re thinking of upgrading your home’s windows or doors — especially ahead of the darker months — now is a great time to ask about the “Kubu ready” option. Contact us to know more.
