How to protect windows from breaking without installing gratings

Window opening - a favorite loophole of experienced thieves. To avoid possible theft, windows should be protected from opening. This is especially true for owners of private houses and those who live on the ground floors in apartment buildings.

How to protect windows from breaking?

If there are almost never problems with the front doors, the situation with the windows is completely different. The grilles installed in the window openings are reliable, but from an aesthetic point of view they are completely unattractive. But few people know that there are other ways to protect windows from breaking.

It is very difficult to crack a securely protected window, and in some cases it is completely impossible. So, in addition to installing simple metal gratings, there are other protection methods.

Using windows equipped with protection mechanisms

Some manufacturers of plastic windows offer ready-made solutions for their customers:

• Windows with security level WK1. They are distinguished by the presence of mechanisms that make their locking more reliable. For example, if a thief tries to enter a room through a window, using ordinary tools for this, he will not succeed. The mechanism holds the bar securely outside;
• Windows with security level WK2. They use more advanced window mechanisms. For example, with the help of a chisel, a thief will definitely not be able to open the window. Hacking will take a lot of time. In addition, it is guaranteed to cause noise and attract attention;
• Windows with security level WK3. The most reliable window protection. It is characterized by the presence of additional locking pins. A thief will not be able to open a window even if he uses a crowbar for this.

Installation of anti-burglar fittings and protective loops

To enter a house through a window, in most cases thieves squeeze one of the leaves of a window block. The use of anti-burglar fittings will avoid this. Accessories are a plate made of durable metal. It will reliably protect the window handle from drilling.

Protective hinges and a locking pin are also recommended. These devices do not allow attackers to squeeze the window sash. In addition, they do not need to hire specialists to install them. Everything can be done independently.

Remember, any hardware can be easily replaced with anti-burglary. Standard windows are easily converted into protected. Therefore, if you have not yet taken care of your own safety and the safety of property, then it's time to do it.
