To enhance the safety of glass in PVC windows, several reliable solutions are available.
1. Anti‑vandal double‑glazed units (laminated glass / triplex).
This is a multi‑layer glass with sheets bonded by a protective film. If impacted, the glass does not shatter into loose shards — they stay attached to the film. Triplex resists impacts (including tool attacks) and reduces the risk of injury.
2. Tempered glass.
It undergoes special heat treatment, making it stronger than ordinary glass. If broken, it crumbles into small, blunt fragments that are less dangerous to people.
3. Safety film.
Applied to the inner glass surface, it holds shards together if the glass is damaged and makes forced entry more difficult (it takes longer to cut through). It’s an affordable and quick way to boost security.
4. Anti‑theft hardware.
Handles with locks, blockers, and mushroom‑shaped cams prevent the window from being opened from outside. They also help prevent accidental opening by children.
5. Metal grilles or roller shutters.
These create a physical barrier. Grilles can be decorative and openable from inside; shutters can be remote‑controlled. Important: these must not obstruct emergency evacuation.
6. Sensors and alarms.
They detect glass breakage or attempted forced entry, alerting homeowners and security services.
Additional important points:
regularly inspect hardware and seals — worn parts reduce protection;
never leave windows open unattended, especially on upper floors;
for ground‑floor apartments, combine several methods (e.g., triplex + roller shutters).
A comprehensive approach — combining durable glass, reliable hardware, and additional barriers — ensures maximum protection.
