November 1, 2024

As the chill of winter approaches, there’s something undeniably comforting about retreating to a warm, cozy home. But if your windows and doors are letting the cold air creep in, you may find yourself battling drafts, higher energy bills, and a less comfortable living space.

That’s where our Decorio range of external heritage windows and doors comes in, offering not just timeless beauty, but exceptional thermal efficiency that keeps the warmth inside, exactly where it belongs.

When choosing windows and doors for your home or building project, security is a paramount concern. In the UK, the building industry adheres to stringent standards to ensure the safety and security of residential properties. One such crucial standard is PAS 24. As a leading manufacturer of aluminium windows and doors, we prioritize meeting and exceeding these standards to provide you with products that offer peace of mind. This blog post will delve into what PAS 24 entails and why our aluminium windows and doors are your best choice for compliance and security.

What is PAS 24?

PAS 24, short for Publicly Available Specification 24, is a UK standard for enhanced security performance of windows and doors. It sets out rigorous requirements for resistance to various forms of attack, ensuring that windows and doors are robust enough to withstand attempted break-ins. PAS 24 is a critical benchmark for ensuring that residential properties are secure against potential intruders.

Why PAS 24 is Important

  1. Enhanced Security: PAS 24 certification ensures that your windows and doors provide a high level of security, making it more difficult for intruders to gain entry.
  2. Building Regulation Compliance: Meeting PAS 24 is often a requirement for new builds and certain renovation projects, ensuring compliance with local building regulations.
  3. Insurance Benefits: Homes with PAS 24 certified windows and doors may qualify for lower insurance premiums due to the reduced risk of break-ins.
  4. Peace of Mind: Knowing that your windows and doors meet the highest security standards provides peace of mind for you and your family.
