Windows That Keep Trouble Out
A window is the easiest way into a home — and, with a small child or a cyclone coast, the easiest way for things to go wrong. No window is burglar-proof; security is layered. This is the 7-guide safety library: burglar-resistant windows, locks and hardware, child-safe design, IS 2553 safety glass, smart sensors and cyclone-resistant windows.
