Conservatory security...

Home security has never been more important and so we recommend PVCu profiles which are covered by BS74 13. This will ensure the materials used are of the highest quality, are colour-fast, impact resistant and also have immense corner strength.

You should also ensure that your conservatory is covered by BS7950/7412 which is awarded for improved security requirements of BS74 12, for mechanical loading, human intervention and glazing security.

Locking handles should be manufactured from heavy duty frame sections. Other security features tolook out for include shoot-bolt locking systems and force - resistant hinges, with each locking device having shoot bolts that secure casements and fanlights deep into the frame.

Doors should be supplied with a multi-locking system that means applying force around the central lock itself is a fruitless waste of time to potential intruders.
