Are Sash Windows Really Safe and Secure?

Windows are one of the most important and definitely one of the most overlooked aspects when it comes to home safety and security. Poorly secured, weakened by wear and weather, easily accessible instead of protecting the occupant from prying eyes or even uninvited visitors, they increase the risk of getting stuck, breaking the locks or being toeasy to open by the average burglar.

The classic charmof sash windows, famousfor their aesthetic and gliding vertically up and down either single or double-hung are the very favourite type of windows nation-wide. They allow the convenience of offering one sash for ventilation and being a perfect finishing touch to your exterior.

They’re very elegant and desirable, but how you know that they are secure?

1.Manufacturer

2.Lock mechanisms

When deciding on a sash window you have to make sure that the operating and locking systems are solid. You should make sure that the window company allows you provide a reasonable level of security for your family. If you’re concerned about your children, you should ask for a simple mechanism that only allows the upper sash to open, which will guarantee that your children are extra safe.
