What Makes a Window Secure?
There are certain features that you can look out for to decide how secure windows are, from accreditations, to locking systems and hardware:
Secured by Design: Helping to Design Out Crime
A great feature to look out for is whether windows have Secured by Design (SBD) accreditation. The scheme works alongside the police and aims to design out crime by advocating products that have the highest levels of security. PVCu windows earn their SBD status if they offer these police preferred security. The secure windows are rigorously tested and checked to achieve the accreditation.
We have police approved options available on our range of PVCu windows, for an enhanced layer of security.
Multipoint Locking Systems
Multipoint locking systems secure PVCu windows in several places with one turn of a key. This not only makes the system extremely user-friendly, it also increases the resistance of the windows against attacks.
We include high security shootbolt locking systems as standard on our secure windows, giving the best possible layer of security and protection.
Secure Hardware
Window hardware is designed to feature both great looks and security benefits alike. We provide robust Fab ‘N’ Fix inline handles for our secure windows, which are available with a range of finish options, including white and chrome to give windows a stunning look for years to come.=
