Laminated glass window is the best option for any kind of home
This article takes you through aesthetic glass windows that also offer residents enhanced security against break-ins.
The beauty of a glass window can enhance the interior décor and brightness of every home. Be it for an abundance of natural light, a stunning view of the surroundings or a way to make your interior look more open and inviting, glass windows are a must for every home. However, these aesthetic structures can also compromise the interior security of your home if not installed in the correct manner. With modern solutions like laminated glass and GuardVUE frames, residents can enjoy all aesthetic benefits without worrying about compromising their security.
Staying safe and secure with laminated glass
Traditional glass used for windows was extremely fragile and would shatter at the slightest impact. Further, it would break apart into long sharp shards that enhanced the risk of injury making clean-up a hassle as well. Now, with the advent of toughened and laminated glass solutions, this material has emerged as one of the strongest and most durable solutions for the homes.
Laminated glass comprises of two or more sheets that are fused together with a PVB interlayer, thus also known as PVB laminated glass. The layered system of this glass adds to the strength and durability of the window making it almost impossible to break through. In addition, in case of severe impact that can damage the glass, it does not break apart into pieces. Instead, the cracked glass remains stuck in place on the PVB interlayer leaving no gap or hole for the thieves to enter.
Thus, windows made of laminated glass ensure safety and security of the residents at all times without compromising on aesthetics. Further, the thickness of this glass isn’t significantly different from regular glass windows, allowing individuals to secure their home without worrying about thicker frames. This solution also keeps the family safe as the glass pieces do not shatter on breakage eliminating the risk of injury.
As modern glass is highly customisable, this laminated solution can be adapted to offer numerous advantages. Apart from security, this can also be customised to offer heat and sound insulation. For those hassled with the harsh glare of the sun leading to messy drapes, a tint coating in a natural shade can allow for optimised amounts of light.
Burglar proof and resilient GuardVUE frames
A good window system cannot be completed without the right frame. Traditional options like wood or metal, though widely used, start to look shabby and deteriorate soon after installation. In addition, these frames often leave tiny gaps or spaces around the structure that can let in dust, dirt, heat and even noise. Further, it also compromises security as thieves are able to detach the frame completely to gain entry. In such cases, even the best glass won’t be able to defend the interiors as the frame is weak enough to be removed.
However, now with strong and durable uPVC window frames, homes can secure their interiors in a complete manner. This material is highly resilient to environmental elements and does not swell up or rot with time. Further, it is fusion welded to the wall and double sealed in a manner to provide maximum insulation and security. With this window frame there are no gaps or spaces ensuring complete protection from outside elements.
For spaces that require additional security like on the ground floor, uPVC frames like GuardVUE can also be customised with a galvanised steel core that is unbreakable and can resist a high amount of impact without getting damaged. A major advantage with these frames is also their sturdy hardware. Along with handles and levers that allow for easy operation, uPVC window frames come equipped with single or multi-point locking systems that deny entry to any uninvited intruders.
Further, as uPVC is available in numerous shades and finishes, residents can enjoy stylish aesthetics that complement the interior décor. Be it light pastel shades or the warm tones of wooden frames, uPVC offers residents style without the hassle of repair or maintenance.
Thus, with modern glass and GuardVUE frames, residents can open up their home to natural brightness and light while at the same time securing their interiors from burglars or break-ins.
