A strengthened roof window design keeps your home extra secure

Breaking and entering through a roof window is extremely rare, and shouldn’t keep you awake at night. Only if the roof slope and location of your roof window allows easy access for persons to work safely and unseen, it could be deemed wise to consider a security upgrade.

The top-operated GGL/GGU 70Q VELUX roof window offers the highest burglary resistance class on the roof window market (class 2 acc. to burglar resistance requirements and classification standard EN 1627), hosting an array of security features that will help dissuade anyone from trying to break or dismantle the roof window. The GGL/GGU 70Q is the ultimate choice in terms of burglary resistant roof windows. 

1. An extremely sturdy design with strong, discreet locks in the frame and sash makes the GGL/GGU 70Q exceptionally resilient as well as aesthetically pleasing.

3. The construction of the maintenance-free variant GGU 70Q is further strengthened with reinforcement screws around the hinges.

5. The pane is glued to the sash and thus disallows anyone from forcing an entry by dismantling the window-pane assembly.

2. Compared to standard GGU windows, the GGU 70Q has an extra strong core of thermo-modified wood under the seamless PU coating.

4. The key is designed to be placed on the handle bar for your convenience.

6. The wooden variant GGL 70Q, available in white-paint or clear lacquer, is strengthened with reinforcement screws in the area around the hinges and extra-long anti-theft screws in sash and frame.

Security is a matter of raising the level of difficulty that the burglar has to overcome in order to gain access to your home. If the security level is high enough, the perpetrator will be discouraged and leave your home alone.
 
It has to be said that statistically the chance of experiencing a break-in through the roof window is extremely rare. Burglars prefer more simple an inconspicuous access ways like a façade window or a terrace door to gain access. Of course, if it’s easy to access the roof surface, if the roof has a low pitch, and if you live in an exposed area, the chance of attracting a burglar will go up, and we would recommend one of our security products, e.g. the new VELUX burglary resistant roof window.

EN 1627 class 2 is the highest burglar resistance classification obtained on the roof window market. This has been achieved by implementing numerous security features, which make the entire window construction extremely sturdy and resilient to the most common burglary attempts. One important feature is the use of laminated security glazing that complies with security standard EN 356, class P4A – testing and classification standard for resistance against manual attack. Class P4A means that the glazing can endure the effect of a 4.1 kg steel ball being dropped three times directly onto the surface from nine meters. Class 2 burglary resistance acc. to EN 1627 requires EN 356, class P4A glazing classification.
