Ways to protect plastic windows from breaking

Window security is one of the components of the protection of the entire living space. Often, intruders enter the apartment through the windows, so it is so important to properly secure plastic windows from "uninvited guests."

The use of gratings and roller shutters


Installing metal bars on windows is a universal means of protecting against burglary. They are removable and stationary, and the most effective are sliding grilles that do not require additional space to open. Lattice Advantages:
  • Long-term resistance to mechanical stress
  • Do not darken the room.
  • High level of ingress protection

  • There are also transparent gratings, the purpose of which is to protect the glass from breaking and from the penetration of "uninvited guests".
    Roller shutters are a modification of horizontal blinds that are mounted outside the building. They are operated manually or with a remote control. They are installed most often when you need to increase security without the use of gratings. It is advisable to use metal structures instead of plastic ones.

    Use of safety glass


    To protect plastic windows, impact-resistant double-glazed windows are often used, which are divided into 3 classes:
  • Stability 1st degree - withstand the load of a stone or other object.
  • Stability 2nd degree: able to withstand blows with a heavy object, such as a sledgehammer.
  • Stability of the third class—the strongest double-glazed windows in the world. They withstand shots, even from firearms.

  • There are also double-glazed windows in Triplex, the advantages of which are:
  • UV shielding
  • improved sound and heat insulation
  • Elimination of the risk of damage from broken glass

  • Use of protective fittings


    Security fittings not only provide protection against penetration but also involve the use of the following mechanisms:
  • Mushroom - shaped trunnions for loads up to 1.5 tons. Such elements prevent the sash from bending.
  • Carbide plate to prevent the handle from being drilled out.
  • increased the number of locking elements.
