WERU Windows

Protect Packages

Did you know that the main point of attack during attempted burglaries is not, in fact, the glass? In more than 70 % of cases, it is the window hardware via which the window is mainly opened? Did you also know that most burglaries (approx. 80 %) are perpetrated by so-called opportunistic thieves who quickly move on to somewhere else if they encounter the slightest degree of resistance?

In light of this, all Weru windows feature high-quality hardware and robust frame construction. And those who are looking to increase this resistance, for example, to protect specific windows on the ground floor or near a balcony, can opt for the Protect packages which can be tailored to their individual needs.

When a burglary happens, it not only results in material loss and damage, the phycological consequences can be hard to overcome. But things don’t have to be this way. The three Protect package levels give you peace of mind and increase the security of your window comprehensively. This means your window has greater resistance, a higher degree of protection and is a more intimidating prospect for would-be intruders, offering more security and piece of mind for your family.

What Do The RC/WK Classes Actually Mean?

The standardised resistance classes WK 1–3 as per DIN EN 1627–30 (new resistance classes RC 1–3 as per EN 1627–30) describe the minimum time a window must be able to withstand an attack using a set of tools defined in each case. Recommendations for the corresponding resistance class of a window that may also be relevant to insurance matters are normally based on the location of the residential property. These start with security class WK 1 for a town and estate house and continue to WK 2 for a detached single-family house through to WK 3 for secluded homes, villas or exclusive property.

In What Situations Should I Take No Chances?

Windows on the ground floor and patio doors are the most vulnerable. 70% of burglaries are attributable to these two areas. Weru has responded early to this development, with a comprehensive range of tried-and-tested effective components for patio doors and ground floor windows that are designed to prevent burglaries. However, burglary-deterrent windows and doors can only work effectively if they are installed correctly. Your Weru specialist can take care of this. Our in-house experts will be pleased to advise you on which burglary protection features are best for your house or apartment.
