In addition the windows are internally glazed. This means that the glazing beads that hold the glass in place are on the inside and cannot be removed by would be intruders.
For the safety conscious, tilt and turn windows in the turn position provide a large unrestricted opening for use as an emergency exit in case of fire. Special hinges are available for casement windows so that they too can be opened wide and used as an escape route.
All windows produced by using REHAU profiles present a serious deterrent to all but the most determined burglar, however if you require extra peace of mind, we can incorporate extra security features into the windows. For example, REHAU offers RAUSECUR, a unique adhesive security gasket system. RAUSECUR bonds to the glass once in position, preventing its removal, even assuming the burglar manages to get past the secure outer bead.
So good is the system that a REHAU designed S706 externally beaded window manufactured to include RAUSECUR achieves BS 7950 type test certification, the most stringent British standard for window security. We can fit Externally and internally beaded windows. The externally beaded REHAU secure gasket gives the same security rating as the internally beaded window.
