Window security comes from a few layers working together, not one feature. Here's what actually makes a window secure.
Multi-point locking, engaging along the sash, is far harder to force than a single latch. It's the foundation of a secure window. Lockable handles add a key-secured layer on accessible windows.
Laminated glass holds together when struck, making it much harder to break through than ordinary glass — a strong security upgrade for ground-floor and reachable openings.
For genuinely accessible windows, a grille adds a physical barrier. Combined with good locking and laminated glass, it makes a window a serious deterrent.
Match the layers to the risk: ground-floor and reachable windows justify the full stack; upper floors need less. The aim is sensible protection where it counts.
Layer it: multi-point locking as the foundation, laminated glass so the pane holds when struck, and grilles on genuinely accessible windows. Match the layers to how reachable the window is.
