PVC WINDOW SAFETY

Security in your homes and workplaces is one of the most important elements that directly affect your comfort as well as your peace of mind. Prioritizing security in your PVC door and window choices not only protects you and your loved ones against possible threats, but also increases the value of your property. For this reason, you should pay special attention to glass and accessory choices in your door and window preferences. The Resistance Class (RC) rating is a standardized way of determining the security level of your doors and windows and offers different levels of protection – RC1, RC2 and RC3.

RC1: Basic Level of Security

RC1 offers a basic level of security and provides a degree of protection against physical force. This level may be sufficient for windows that are usually located on high floors. However, a higher level of security is recommended for doors and windows on the ground floor or in easily accessible areas.

RC2: Advanced Security Level

RC2 provides effective protection against opportunistic thieves. This class offers 3 minutes resistance against attempts with simple tools. RC2 rated windows and doors are often equipped with features such as cork wedges and burglar-proof P4A glass. This level is particularly ideal for ground floor windows and easily accessible doors.

RC3: High Security Level

RC3 resists more advanced tools for 5 minutes, providing serious protection against more experienced thieves. This class is preferred in rural areas or where valuables are located. RC3 class products are enhanced with features such as high security glazing and multi-point locking systems.

Recommendations for the Right Choice

– Evaluate Your Location: The location of your home or business is an important factor in determining which RC class is appropriate. In densely populated urban centers, RC2 can be considered, while in more isolated or rural areas, RC3 can be considered.

– Glass Choice: Laminated or impact-resistant glass options offer additional benefits such as noise and thermal insulation as well as increased security.

– Locks and Accessories: Multi-point locking systems and lockable handles are effective solutions to increase your security. In addition, anti-theft alarm systems and lights with automatic timers can also be considered as additional security measures.
