Anti-burglary

The sturdy steel profiles used by Axer for window frames fabrication, unlike it happens with weaker materials such as alluminium, wood or pvc, guarantee a considerable protection against break-ins. In addition, it is possible to study the most appropriate system in order to reach higher degrees of safety and security.

In test laboratories, both by its own initiative and upon clients’ request, Axer has performed class 4 and 5 antiburglary tests.

To achieve the maximum anti-break in safety level, regulations require that the frame is submitted to two subsequent tests. It is initially subjected to a series of static loads (more than 1,500 kg) at the critical points, to check the breaking resistance. It is then attacked manually, with a simulation of an attempted break in using heavy tools, such as a disc grinder, crowbar and electric drill, with the operator continuing the attack for more than 40 minutes, and who has access to the construction drawings to study the frame and identify any weak points.

Axer^® frames have fully passed both the tests; rather the glass tends to break after continuous but vain attempts to break the steel frame.
