Two new Taurus Max healthcare windows – a Horizontal Slider, and an Automated Opening Window – designed specifically for mental healthcare applications, will be shown by ATB Secure.
The company says of the latter: “No other window product both features such high security elements, and allows premium air flow and light transmittance, while retaining performance and non-oppressive good looks.” Both aluminium windows comply with BSEN 12020-2-2001, and come double glazed, or double or triple glazed, in the case of the Automated Opener. They can also incorporate Hammerglass – ‘the virtually unbreakable, second generation’ polycarbonate sheet. Also fixed into both, as part of the standard mental health specification, is a security mesh available in two light transmittance options. Fixing the security options into the window extrusion during production ‘makes for a robust window able to withstand even the harshest treatments’. The Sliding Window has an antiligature pull handle, and several locking options. The opening pane has a lock-off facility which can be designated at three different positions, and full lock facility, with ‘keyed alike’ euro profile cylinder.
