When we think about replacing windows, we often look at the color or how much we will save on heating. However, there is a factor that often goes unnoticed until it is too late: security<\/strong>. In Carpinter\u00eda Aluminio Ponsico<\/strong>, we know that a window is not only a light opening, it is the main barrier of your home. Here we explain what elements turn an aluminum window into an aesthetic “bunker” against intruders. <\/p>\n\n

\n\n

1. Hardware: The heart of security<\/h3>\n\n

Not all locks are the same. For real security, we recommend perimeter hardware<\/strong> systems. <\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Mushroom” type locking points:<\/strong> Unlike flat locks, these are hooked into the frame so that it is almost impossible to leverage the sash from the outside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Reinforced fasteners:<\/strong> We install multiple anchor points around the perimeter of the window, not just in the center.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Laminated safety glass<\/h3>\n\n

    The glass is the most visually vulnerable point. To avoid breakage, the solution is laminated glass (climalit safety glass).<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

    \n

    How does it work?<\/strong> They are two or more panes of glass joined by a PVB (polyvinyl butyral) film. If someone tries to hit it, the glass cracks but does not break or come off<\/strong>, keeping the physical barrier intact. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

    3. Self-locking shutters: The perfect complement<\/h3>\n\n

    If you want extra peace of mind, especially in first floors or villas, self-locking extruded aluminum louvers<\/strong> are the key.<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • Their design means that if someone tries to force them up from the outside, the slats block each other.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • They work like an invisible fence, but with the advantage that you can pick them up completely to enjoy the view.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      4. Handles with key or button<\/h3>\n\n

      A simple but effective detail. The locking handles prevent someone from reaching in and turning the handle to open the window, even if a small piece of glass breaks. <\/p>\n\n

      \n\n

      Conclusion: Your peace of mind is priceless<\/h3>\n\n
