Safety

Façade systems can be designed and tested according to European burglary resistance standards. Different classes, such as RC classes, indicate how long a structure can withstand a break-in attempt.

The RC class describes how well a system resists manual burglary attempts using different types of tools. Lower RC classes → basic protection. Higher RC classes → enhanced protection for high-risk environments.

Yes, a glass façade can be designed with high resistance to burglary by using laminated safety glass. When combined with reinforced aluminium profiles, fittings, and correctly dimensioned fixings, a high level of security can be achieved – even in façades with large glass areas.

Glass is a key component. Common solutions include:

• Laminated safety glass
• Tempered glass combined with lamination
• Multi-layer glass for increased burglary resistance

Aluminium profiles can be internally reinforced to:

• Resist break-in attempts
• Reduce the risk of deformation
• Ensure stable fixing of glass and fittings

This makes aluminium a robust and reliable material for secure façade systems.

Yes, modern façade systems are designed to combine transparency and security. This is common in office buildings, schools, and public buildings where both safety and architectural expression are important.
