Under the concept of protecting plastic windows, each of us invests its meaning. So, for the young mother, the protection of the metal-plastic window implies to ensure the safety of its child. For a man, first of all, it is important that his house will be protected from penetrating inside intruders. And there are people who care that the windows will serve as longer and did not have to spend extra money for service and their repair.

Depending on the wishes, the windows protection options may be several:

• protection windows from children;
• protection against thieves;

Protection of windows from children

You recently installed new plastic windows. You like that they are reliably protected from the sun, wind and frost. But did you think about the protection of your children? How to protect them from an independent opening of the window and from falling out? To talk about what you can not open the window yourself and look out into the street, perhaps there will be little. Children are arranged in such a way that if they ban them something, they will certainly achieve their own. And only you will be distracted or go to another room, the children's curiosity will take its own.

Pen with castle

To secure your family from an accident, you need to install special protection on the windows - a handle with a lock. Window manufacturers call such an anti-tank protection. Its principle is quite simple: the window closes the key to be removed away in an inaccessible place. Now no one can open the window completely.

The window handle with the key has recently gained popularity. It can be put on both new windows and for previously installed.

Installation of protection will not be a lot of Labor:

• with a screwdriver, unscrew the bolts (they are located under the plate) of the old handle and remove it;
• install a new handle to the old place (just do not change its position) and tighten the bolts.

Attention! When replacing the handle, make sure that it is installed in the same position as old. If it is wrong to install it, the handle will not protect the window.

The photo shows the replacement diagram of the handle:

Advantages of protection against children:

• blocks accessories outside;
• if the glass is broken, it is still impossible to open the window without a key;
• the key handle guarantees absolute security for children;

From the disadvantages, you can select the following: if the window is constantly open and closed, it will be uncomfortable to apply the handle, because every time you need to get the keys and open the lock.

Principle of work handle with lock:

1. Closed window cannot be opened without a key.
2. If the window is on the ventilation, then it is impossible to return it back or translate it, because the handle will not turn it out.

This position of the window is considered more acceptable, because in this way you can ventilate the room and not worry about the safety of the child.

From the shortcomings of the handle with the lock, it is noted that the lock prevents only the rotation of the knob when the window is closed. And if it is translated into another "swivel-folding" mode, you must not forget to close the castle. At first, many consumers about it forget.

Kiponate blocker

Provides a reliable fixation of the door sash in one position. Limits the opening of the lock. The block is used in the case when it is necessary to protect plastic windows from children in a swivel and folding position. The established limiter will create a small slot between the frame and sash. This will be enough to ventilate.

It should be remembered that the hard fixation of the window will not work.

Lattices on the windows

For child safety, as well as against hacking, metal grilles are installed on the windows.

The windows fences distinguish such:

• solid grilles protect the room from theft and hacking;
• half - cover the lower part of the window, thereby preventing the fallout of the child;
• plug-in - it is convenient to leave the window open.

When choosing a lattice, it is necessary to take into account the distance between the rods, it should not exceed ten centimeters so that the child does not glance the head and not stuck.

Chain

In the case when each penny is on the account, and many windows have installed in the house, you can do the simple, but quite a safe way - to install a chain on the window. The window can only work in one mode - ventilation, but it will be completely impossible to open it.

Protection against hacking plastic window

Protection on plastic windows from fraudsters is different. The more obstacles to the thief will be, the longer will "mess around" with the opening of the windows, which means that you will have a chance to preserve your property.

Consider popular ways to protect windows from fraudsters:

1. Metal grilles. They look beautiful, but have a high cost. The welded grid, unlike the wrist, it looks not so beautiful, because of this has an affordable price. Often such designs are covered with varnish or painted in different colors.

2. Installing role on the windows. Roller shutter is a metal curtain consisting of bands that are attached to each other as well as a metal box installed above the window. Strips can be steel, aluminum or with polyurethane filling. Aluminum rolets have a small weight, but not so durable as heavy metal. Roller shutters can be opened using a special device or manually.

3. Installation of shockproof glass windows. Strong packages have such a degree of protection:

• the first degree of sustainability. Glass can withstand the minimum punch stick, stone or other object;
• the second degree of sustainability. Glass can withstand a stronger blow, while it does not form a hole so that the person can penetrate inside;
• the third degree of sustainability. Impact resistant glass can withstand a shot of firearms.

4. Triplex is a design of two or more hardened glasses, each of which covers a special chemical storage or film. We are almost impossible to break or damage such glass. Even if the glass would be hitting a hard object a few times, the glass can be damaged, but the pieces will not fall out and remain in the frame. During the strikes, such noise will be heard that even the neighbors will hear the thief.
