There are many ways to secure your home against burglary. One of them is choosing the right windows. How are aluminum windows able to keep out even the most determined intruders, and thus provide a more peaceful sleep for residents?

Anti-burglary aluminum windows - what sets them apart?

Advanced burglar-proof solutions are increasingly effective in improving a building's protection against burglary. Key roles in ensuring the security of the home include:

  • multilayer anti-burglary glass,
  • fittings with anti-lift elements,
  • reinforced locking mechanisms.

Anti-burglary glass

To increase the level of protection of the house, special burglar-proof glass is used in the windows, which consists of several layers joined by a special film. This makes the glass much more resistant to impacts and attempts to break through it. Even if it breaks, the foil holds pieces of it in place, making it even more difficult to get inside the house.

Locking systems and alarms

Burglar-proof aluminum windows can be equipped with advanced locking systems that significantly increase the security level of the building. Multi-point locks, which lock the window in several places, are much harder to break than standard solutions.

Importantly, when integrating smart window locking systems with one's own smartphone or tablet, remote control is possible - from anywhere in or outside the home. With just one click, you can close selected windows or all windows, or set automatic actions for certain conditions (such as time or weather).

What else is worth mentioning in this context? The integration of the window control system with the alarm system - another step to better protect our home from “uninvited guests”.

Certifications and resistance classes

When choosing aluminum windows, it is worth paying attention to the certifications and classes of burglary resistance according to the European standard: PN-EN 1627. The highest grades, such as RC2, RC3, and RC4, provide a very high level of safety. 

  • RC2

This class indicates resistance to burglary with simple tools (such as a screwdriver, wedge, or pliers).

  • RC3

RC3 windows and doors are a suitable choice for single-family homes - they can resist attacks from tools such as crowbars and hammers.

  • RC4

Windows and doors in the RC4 class show effective resistance to burglary with saws, hammers, chisels, and cordless drills - it is used in facilities with a high probability of burglary.

Mechanical and electronic security features

For even greater protection of your home against burglars, in addition to aluminum windows, it is worth investing in additional mechanical and electronic security features, such as external roller shutters made of durable materials and often equipped with special locking mechanisms that make it difficult for unwanted visitors to lift them from the outside.

Durability and maintenance

Home security is also ... choosing durable materials. In this regard, it is worth noting that aluminum does not degrade when exposed to moisture (unlike wood joinery). As a result, solutions made of this material require minimal maintenance, as well as repairs or replacements. Durable, corrosion-resistant windows can also be a hindrance to potential thieves.
