Maximum burglary protection

With resistance class RC4, swissFineLine Protect sliding windows offer the highest level of burglary protection on the market today.

Window quality is a decisive factor in residents’ safety and the security of their possessions. Windows and terrace doors are criminals’ preferred point of entry and are targeted in 87% of burglaries. High-quality burglary protection in window elements often leads burglars to abandon their efforts entirely.

swissFineLine Protect is available in resistance classes RC2, RC3 and RC4 (DIN EN 1627) and thus offers a level of protection tailored to your specific needs.

The higher the resistance class of windows and doors, the harder they are to break in through. Fixtures and structural elements in resistance class RC1 only offer a low level of burglary protection that intruders can often overcome relatively quickly. By contrast, in the higher resistance classes, criminals require far more time and additional equipment to break into a house.

swissFineLine offers windows with resistance class RC4 – a level of protection that can repel even professionally planned burglaries.
