Security pass for timber heritage sliding sash window

Accsys’s new sliding sash window, featuring slimline glazing bars and a 44mm thick sash, meets the requirements of PAS 24:2022.

This was made possible through a collaboration with a consortium of stakeholders, including Midland Joinery, ERA, and SD Hardware, the company said.

PAS 24:2022 is a rigorous testing standard that is designed to evaluate the enhanced security performance of windows and doors, ensuring their ability to withstand a specified level of attack. Designed to mimic an attempted break-in by a burglar using tools that are easy to conceal, a window or door is put through several tests including mechanical load testing, manual attack testing and impact testing; each designed to explore any vulnerabilities. The test was conducted at the independent UKAS accredited test house at ERA’s facility in Wolverhampton.

The Accoya sliding sash window includes a three-quarter-inch Radius End Sash Pulley, Timber Series Sash Lift, Timber Series High Security Classic Cam Lock and Sash Window Screw Locks.
