ᐅ Did you have RC2 windows installed?

Hello,

we are currently looking into the windows for our planned house. The police recommend installing RC2-rated windows for security, but these seem to be quite expensive. Have you installed such windows, and what additional costs should one expect for a window or patio door? For example, if only the patio door is made with RC2 security, will the glass panes look different compared to the other windows? How did you handle this?

Best regards
Sabine

We had the accessible windows (ground floor) installed to a standard similar to RC2N, but without a certification. In my opinion, RC2N is sufficient; RC2 is not necessary. And this should apply to all (accessible) windows and patio doors.

RC2 or RC2N?
Personally, I don’t think much of it. I prefer to always make sure the windows are closed when no one is home, the front door is locked, the shutters are down, and so on.
This has resulted in our garden being broken into three times, but no one ever tried to enter the house.

The link is good.
Why didn’t you post it directly? It comes from a public/governmental source without any advertising.

We have also installed RC2N, which means without the safety glass. With triple glazing, it is not so easy to break the glass without making noise. Most people try to pry it open, and in that case, it is already effective.
