Safe windows for childcare.

In many countries there are special requirements regarding the safety of windows in children's institutions. In kindergartens and schools they install windows, which necessarily equipped with special locks and the way of opening, which provides safe ventilation.

Unfortunately, cases when children fall out of windows due to disappearing from the sight of adults are not so rare. Not to worry about children, it is better to make such attractive window openings secure. Special interlocks provide the impossibility to open the window widely. Special locks are mounted from the side of the window handles on the underside of the sash. The price of the lock is very reasonable. However, it will provide the inability for a child to fully open the window, leaving only the possibility of opening it in tilted position. 

To ensure safe ventilation slide-out method of opening can be used. In this case, the sash can be moved away from the window frame to a short distance (about 1 cm) and fixed in this position. Through a slit of such width children will not be able to pull the hand out or throw out from the window any item, as children of school age like to do so. 

Thanks to modern technologies the level of security in kindergartens and schools can be significantly enhanced. Choose windows with the care of children.
