When you are buying new windows in Stamford, you should not have to choose between a beautiful window and one that actually keeps your home safe. With Legacy uPVC Sliding Sash windows, you actually get the best of both worlds. You get the appearance of classic wooden sash-style windows with the reassurance of modern safety features.
What safety features, you ask?
Advanced locking mechanisms
Legacy uPVC Sliding Sash Windows have multi-point locks that latch at multiple places along the window frame. This makes it much harder for anyone to pry the window open. The locks are also reinforced with strong “keeps,” which are like anchor points for the locks to dig into.
Each uPVC Sliding Sash window also comes with top sash security blocks that stop people from lifting or sliding the sash open. If you want your windows to be even more secure, you can choose the PAS 24:2016 security upgrade. This certification proves that the window has passed specific tests to resist opportunistic burglars.
Tilt and travel restrictors
Fresh air is always good, but should you even consider a window that opens too wide if you have kids running around in your home? Well, Legacy sash windows include built-in tilt restrictors that let you open them just enough for some fresh air, but they will not tilt so far that someone (or something) can fall out.
There is also a travel restrictor that limits how high the sash can actually slide up. This means you can still enjoy good ventilation without accidentally creating a big opening that someone could climb through.
Double glazing and laminated options
The window glass itself also needs to be strong, and that is why Legacy Sliding Sash Windows use 24mm double glazing as the standard option. This glass is impact-resistant and even reduces noise from outside.
If you are actually serious about safety, you can choose laminated glass. This glass has a plastic layer sandwiched between two panes, so if someone tries to break it, it does not just shatter into sharp pieces. It stays in place, which is great because broken glass can be a safety hazard and make it easy for someone to force their way inside.
Emergency escape access
Legacy uPVC Sliding Sash Windows can be made to open wide enough for a safe escape in a fire or any emergency where you need to get out quickly.
Weatherproof uPVC construction
Legacy Sliding Sash Windows are made from weatherproof uPVC and can last for many years without much work. You don’t have to paint, stain or regularly repair these windows, and this is exactly what you want from a security solution for your Stamford home.
