More security, better privacy

MANILA, Philippines - It’s no secret that everybody wants to live in an attractive house but living in an attractive house sometimes entails a bigger security risk. Even if you live in a gated community with roving guards, you can never be too careful.

Security continues to be a big concern among homeowners — and even commercial establishments — today. It is in the homes where people feel most secure and it should always stay that way, and Ralph Tanco, marketing manager of Portal East Inc., maker of premium uPVC doors and windows in the Philippines, knows this too well.

Style, Tanco says, is important but functionality, quality, safety and security should never be taken for granted, that’s why he makes it a point that Portal East products should fuse beauty and style with quality and security.

This mandate echoes through all of Portal East’s products. Inside the attractively finished uPVC casings are reinforced steel cores and security mechanisms such a burglar-proof “multipoint point locking system” to keep potential threats out.

Aesthetically gorgeous on the outside but reinforced hard steel on the inside, Portal East’s doors and windows are also soundproof and provide protection from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays.

By using unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC), a highly customizable material that is at the same time tough and environment-friendly, energy-efficient, excellently water-tight, conveniently maintenance-free, have noise reduction and fire-resistant qualities, Portal East is able to design, customize, and fabricate doors and windows that will suit the style, design and security requirements of its discriminating customers.

Portal East Inc. is an affiliate of a multibillion-dollar global corporation in China, the Shide Group. For the past years, Portal East has gained a reputation for innovation and providing outstanding products, coupled with quality, customer-centric service that results in high satisfaction among its roster of contented clients.

Tanco says the company sees to it that it remains committed to discover newer technologies and, at the same time, observe a deeper concern in the manufacture of its products that help protect the environment.

To reach even more customers for them to experience the beauty and quality of Portal East products, the company recently opened its Cebu showroom to be able to cater to Cebuano clients.

According to Tanco, the overall objective is to bring quality products, a result of the fusion of both of Asian creativity and European standards, all over the country in the near future.
