Holiday Time Is Burglary

Security Windows keep out the heat in the House and the burglar. Many citizens take their summer vacation in the next few weeks. Many travel for one, two or three weeks. In addition to the autumn and winter, the time of summer vacation is the time in which most of the roughly 250,000 burglaries take place. But even who not going away and maybe just a few hours at the Lake spends, is at risk. Only who effectively has backed up its Windows and balcony doors, keep out uninvited guests.

Balcony doors and large Windows on the garden side or on the side of the road, which are obscured by dense green to open easily and silently if they are not burglar retardant fitted are main attack point for burglars. Now it is part of the standard that Windows and balcony doors on the bottom with a mushroom head locking be equipped. Who definitely wants to go, can be additional locking points fitted his new Windows and balcony doors with 4-10. It costs about 30 euros and each of these Mushroom has a pull-out resistance of several hundred kilograms. Almost like a safe. Standard handles usually have no burglar resistance.

The fitting can be adjusted from the outside and open the window. By tilted Windows, this takes only seconds. Not so with the use of so-called handle olives with lock button. These can be activated only if at the same time a button is pressed. Other leaders such as LBS Market offer similar insights. Who is outside, this is denied. Also protect the so-called SECUSTIK are handles. Last but not least also an impact-resistant safety glass is backed-up Windows and balcony doors. This is at least a slice of the heat protection glazing as laminated safety glass. As in the windshield when the car provides an invisible and tear-resistant foil, which is stuck between 2 sheets, that prevents quick and easy through and hitting out of the glass. Mushroom head locks, security handles and safety glass are offered often together in one package. These packages with the name SECURA, SAFE and others, are cheaper than retrofitting usually a lot cheaper than the sum of the individual components and always several times. The security packages can be used with plastic, both wooden and wooden-aluminium Windows. The window and door Studio Wintro in Ulm (www.wintro.de) in his exhibition shows the relevant security options and provides more information for interested developers and renovators. Alexander Lippert
