ᐅ Which security rating should you choose for windows?

Hello! I wanted to ask which security rating you chose for your windows? I was advised to have RC2 on the ground floor and RC1N on the upper floors. The architect says this might not be necessary and would add about €1600. Best regards

We have chosen RC 2 for the ground floor and RC 2 N for the upper floor. We will receive a certificate for the windows, but the installation cannot be certified due to the roller shutters and Venetian blinds. We can accept this.

Is that really (your) architect or the contractor’s planner?

Paying sixteen hundred euros for added security for all the windows on one floor wouldn’t make me hesitate.

Sometimes it makes sense to equip windows on the upper floor as if they were on the ground floor, for example, if they are difficult for neighbors to see and can be easily accessed over the garage roof.

Spending sixteen hundred euros for increased security on all windows of a floor wouldn’t take me long to decide.

That is indeed correct. Two windows above the carport are equipped with RC 2 security.

On the ground floor RC2N and on the upper floor RC1. I don’t really see the risk of glass breakage (exposed location of the property).
Additional cost in total (including lockable window handles for 10 sashes) 1,000 euros for 15 sashes.

I would already choose RC2 for the ground floor.
