Burglary protection: how shutters and security windows help

2026-01-22

Burglaries increase sharply, especially in autumn and winter. The good news: a few targeted measures make your home significantly safer.

Shutters – the underestimated barrier

Resistance classes RC1 to RC3

  • RC1: basic protection against opportunists
  • RC2: withstands simple tools for up to 3 minutes – standard for homes
  • RC3: increased protection, withstands up to 5 minutes

Smart control as additional protection

With timers or smart home control you simulate presence even on holiday. This is one of the most effective protection mechanisms.
