Hello everyone,
I would be interested to know which security standard you have chosen for your windows. I have set up a survey for this. Due to the many possible combinations, please select the option that best applies. Any additional details can be provided in the free text section.
Only those who have voted themselves can see the results.
Good luck

Additional information regarding RC2N vs. RC2:
“RC2N (N stands for no glass) refers to an RC2 window element including professional installation, but without a requirement for the glazing. This usually means standard thermal insulation glass is used, without safety levels, so no P4A glazing as typically found in RC2 windows.” Alternatively, from the "RC system folder burglary resistance" by Gutmann AG:
“Resistance class RC 2 or RC 2N:
According to this system description, elements for resistance classes RC 2 and RC 2N can be manufactured.
The only difference between these two classes is the glass used.
For resistance class RC 2N, all manufacturing and installation steps, including glazing attachment, are carried out as for RC 2. The only exception is that there are no requirements for the glass itself.”
Hopefully this clarifies it for some of you.

We opted for full RC2N glazing since some windows on the upper floor would be quite accessible if someone were to climb up. Additionally, we installed reed contacts on all windows, which are intended to be secured by a "mini alarm system." However, we are still uncertain about the exact setup for this.
I can’t provide the additional cost for RC2N, as this was a fixed choice for us from the start, so we didn’t request quotes for other options.

RC2 on the ground floor, which has already protected us from a break-in, and RC2 on the upper floor as well. The P4A glazing added an extra 2500 euros for the entire entrance area, including the terrace and side window of the front door.
Recently, we installed a camera at the front, and an alarm system is still being set up inside the house via KNX.
If we didn’t have KNX, we probably wouldn’t have purchased a separate alarm system. The burglary protection would definitely have been included.
