During this day and age, we all want to protect ourselves and our families. From their health to their physical safety, we do our best. We try our hardest to make sure our homes are the safest places for our families. One way we can ensure our home is safe is by making sure our windows and doors can handle impact and tampering. Here are some reasons why to install vinyl double-hung windows.
- Multiple Safety Locks.
Double-hung windows have multiple frames and sashes, this is one of the primary security features of these windows. Traditional windows only have single-point locks, this can make them weaker to forced entry. With these windows, there are multiple locking points along those sashes and frames.
- Fusion Welded Frame Corners.
EcoView® double hung windows are welded in the corners. This is to provide security from nature’s elements or forced entry. Other double-hung windows are screwed together in corners, which makes them more vulnerable to external forces
- Impact-Resistant Glass Options
These windows have the option of installing impact-resistant glass, which can protect your windows from high winds, flying debris, and even attempted entry. This type of glass doesn’t shatter like traditional glass. This makes it a valuable security feature for your home.
- Window Opening Limiters
Window opening limiters restrict how far the windows can be opened. This is a useful security feature that can be found in your double-hung windows. This prevents entry while also allowing for ventilation. These are particularly useful for upper-level windows.
Overall, double-hung windows offer a multitude of different security features for you, your family, and your home. From multi-point locking mechanisms to security screens, you can add security without compromising on your home’s style or functionality.
