Introduction
In today’s construction industry, it’s of utmost importance to select products that ensure safe, secure buildings as well as ensuring the highest level of occupants’ comfort and building performance. Fire-rated windows, which can block the spread of fire, and high-security windows that are resistant to intrusion attempts, bullets, and blasts are critical components for achieving safe, comfortable and performant buildings. Fire-rated windows are designed to protect life and property by limiting the spread of flames and smoke in the event of a fire. High security windows are installed to protect against unauthorized access, gunfire, and explosions.

BUILDING OCCUPANTS' BENEFITS
Fire-rated and high-security windows provide numerous benefits to building occupants. By enhancing natural light transmission and connection to the outdoors, providing sound blocking, and maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature, they contribute to the well-being and comfort of occupants. In addition, they provide the necessary imperceptible protection level needed against different threats. Fire-rated windows help prevent the spread of fire and smoke, providing a passage for safe egress for occupants in the event of a fire. High-security windows offer protection against forced entry and intruders, promoting a sense of security and peace of mind. Both solutions create more pleasant and secure living and working environments.
