Aluminium windows and doors have gained in popularity due to their contemporary, slimline aesthetics providing a larger glazing area. Today’s modern aluminium windows and doors are inherently strong and purposely designed to suit both modern and heritage style properties. But when it comes to security, are aluminium window and doors secure?
Security by design
Aluminium is an exceptionally strong material. But when combined with market-leading locks, handles and hinges, it means your home and loved ones are safe and secure.
But this strength brings other advantages too. Aluminium isn’t affected by changes in temperature in the way wood and PVC-U are. It means aluminium windows won’t flex, twist, expand or contract, no matter how high or low the temperature gets. But apart from that, this stability helps give them a longer lifespan than alternative materials, so you’ll be making a wise investment.
From a security aspect, aluminium windows and doors are some of the best-rated products on the market today. Even if they are struck or attacked repeatedly, the frames won’t crack and it’s near impossible to cut or saw through them.
Without compromise
We know the importance of security to you and your family. This is why all of our aluminium windows and doors either meet or exceed the latest
industry standards for security and testing. It’s a further level of reassurance for your peace of mind.
By law, aluminium windows and doors need to meet certain security standards. This includes PAS24:2016 certification. PAS24:2016 is a standard of testing to measure the security performance of windows and doorsets to ensure they can resist a level of attack from an opportunist burglar. As a responsible PAS24:2016 manufacturer, all of our aluminium windows and door products meet or exceed this standard.
For a further level of security, all of our aluminium windows and doors use multipoint locking hardware giving you the best in door and window security. Every product is precision manufactured and finished by hand with the latest high-security locking systems.
All the hardware fixings we use are chosen to resist corrosion so there are never any weak points. Multi-point locks and purpose designed hinges have been precision engineered to perform consistently every single time, year on year and internal beading removes the traditional area of weakness for aluminium windows and doors. It’s why all our aluminium windows and doors are backed by a 10-year product guarantee.
