The extent to which window security influences purchasing decisions primarily depends on the planned location for the product. Particularly large windows in a less safe neighbourhood or those installed on a ground floor will often require more enhanced break-in protection than smaller models placed higher up. At windows24.com, window and door security can be ideally adapted to your needs thanks to our wide range of customisable products and add-ons that can be easily selected in our online configurator.
Configure nowHigh-quality windows, like those from windows24.com, feature most more than just single-pane glazing surrounded by a frame. Rather they are precisely manufactured with a range of innovative, high-tech parts and treatments, from glass polymer interlayers to steel reinforcement and locks, allowing them to meet specific customer requirements and preferences.
We offer windows with a choice of five quality frame materials:
Each material comes with its own unique benefits. When it comes to security, uPVC and wood, for example, can provide sufficient strength against break-in attempts given wood’s natural density and sturdiness, and the additional steel reinforcement built into many of our uPVC profiles.
The metal is anodised during manufacturing, for instance, which gives it anti-rust and anti-corrosion properties. Aluminium's natural strength therefore stands the test of time and can durably resist the elements, providing an impressively impact-resistant casement for the window’s sash or glass.
To benefit from a combination of materials, choosing wood-alu or uPVC-alu, with their external metal cladding, can also provide many of these security advantages paired with the bespoke grain patterns of timber or the excellent thermal insulation that uPVC affords.
Because glass takes up a large proportion of a window’s surface, its quality and make-up should be expertly manufactured and well-aligned to the product's planned purpose and final performance. To achieve this we therefore offer the safety glasses listed to the right. These glass options can be split into two types: TSG (toughened safety glass) and LSG (laminated safety glass).
Our windows can come as a fixed product that doesn’t open. This provides maximum security and usually features glass fitted directly inside a frame, without an operable sash. If you do select one of our openable windows, these can come with an innovative tilt and turn opening system, which is excellently secure and can be adjusted to suit requirements.
This means that users can confidently leave the window tilted open during the night to let air in. Steel plate locks, hinges, and mushroom pins ensure a secure lock and provide an RC1 burglar resistance class of very good standard security. To enhance this class to an impressive RC2, the number of locks and fittings can then be increased in our configurator.
Beyond the glazing, frame material, opening type, and fittings, at windows24.com window break-in protection can also be improved by choosing a specific handle or by adding a roller shutter.
Our windows can come with a range of premium metal handles that can optionally be lockable with a key.
Such handles improve child safety as a further restrictor while also increasing break-in protection.
In terms of shutters, we offer bespoke German roller shutters.
These shutters feature a box installed above the window or door on the property’s exterior or hidden inside the reveal. The box contains a uPVC or aluminium blind curtain that descends over the outside of the window or door along guide rails.
Primarily the shutter shades the interior from the sun, darkens rooms by the preferred degree for sleeping, and adds style. In terms of security though, it also provides an extra layer, reinforcing the outside of the window. This is particularly the case for aluminium roller shutter blinds made from strong metal.
Our windows have been professionally tested by the accreditation body IFT Rosenheim, proving their strength and impact resistance. Thanks to their strong metal fittings from premium German suppliers, they can also reach the burglar resistance classes RC1 and RC2. Additionally, we are so sure of the quality and durability of our external aluminium cladding, that it comes with an impressive 10-year guarantee.
Because our windows are made-to-measure and can be customised in numerous ways, both in terms of function and aesthetic style, prices differ depending on the exact selections made. In general though a basic uPVC window with few add-ons will be cheaper, for example, than an aluminium model equipped with additional fittings, safety glass, lockable handles, and finished in a premium decor. To calculate the cost of your product, just head to our configurator and make your selections or get in touch with our expert team for further advice.
