Q-Mark Enhanced Security Window Scheme

The Q-Mark enhanced security window certification scheme provide reassurance that your windows are consistently manufactured to a high quality that will satisfy Secured by Design standards.

A fundamental performance characteristic of a window is its ability to resist forced entry and poor or inconsistent quality in the manufacture of a window can result in its security performance being seriously compromised.

The Q-Mark enhanced security window certification scheme supports the testing requirements for Secured by Design (SBD), the initiative to reduce crime on housing developments by incorporating crime prevention measures at the design stage. Independent third party certification is a current requirement for ground floor windows in all SBD developments.

Certification to the enhanced security windows scheme means you can show that your products meet stringent security standards and are manufactured to a consistent quality.
