Child Safety Features to Consider for uPVC Windows and Doors

May 20, 2024

At Aparna Venster, we design our uPVC windows and doors with child safety features. To prevent harm, window restrictors use a hook mechanism to limit the window’s opening distance. Installing uPVC windows with safety locks is a great way to keep unwanted guests out and accidents at bay. Thanks to see-through doors, parents can keep tabs on their children even when they are not physically there.

Choose uPVC windows with interior glazing, child safety restrictors, tempered glass, and strong frames. These windows have several locking points. With these uPVC window safety features, you can protect your family and make your property seem more cohesive. Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) windows reduce noise, are energy-efficient, and are perfect for houses with children or pets. Adding these conveniences to your home might make your family feel safer.
