Safety windows and doors, basic features

Luxury residences, historic-artistic or industrial buildings can be exposed to a high risk due to the kind of activity which are carried out inside them. So they need safety doors and windows with basic features, which unequivocally determine their effectiveness.

To feel confident in the safety of your windows, you must rely on experts in the field. Modern industry offers many solutions, more or less suitable, but which often lack aesthetics. 

Capoferri has always been attentive to problems related to burglary, without ever losing sight of the aesthetic factor. This latter certainly cannot fail when the client is a famous world-renowned architect such as Renzo Piano, Michele de Lucchi, David Chipperfield, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, Antonio Citterio & Partners and other famous names, who have entrusted the elaborate structures of the windows and doors of their works to our team.

Living in a safe environment contributes to a daily well-being, but, of course, the idea of protection must merge with the expression of beauty that favors personal tastes.

So Capoferri is able to combine experience and high engineering with basic aesthetic features.

From this, armored, anti-intrusion and anti-bullet fixtures are born, perfectly harmonized with the aesthetics of the building in which they are inserted.

This also results in the choice of making completely stainless-steel metalware, sized in relation to the weight of the doors and rigorously certified UNI EN 356 class RC3 burglar-proof.

Moreover, basic features as additional safety devices, type of glass, external shutters and insertion of infrared barriers or other systems that detect any movements have characteristics that define the properties of a window intended to ensure maximum efficiency.

The engineered wall fixing systems also collaborate in greater burglary resistance.

Glass for security windows

The glass for security windows plays a fundamental role in the realization of the entire fixture. The design is strictly connected to its composition, to create a window that can reach the highest anti-burglary classes.

To improve the protection of a home, very high-quality standards security doors and windows are required. We do not limit the choice to simple anti-intrusion windows, but we evaluate together with an expert the possibilities to protect the environment and those who live in it with systems that also protect you from possible accidents.

Therefore, we recommend you to carefully consider which elements to entrust safety to.

Capoferri has always used anti-injury, anti-fall, anti-vandal-anti-crime and anti-bullet-anti-explosion glasses, suitable to meet the most common safety needs and also the rarest and riskiest ones.

The combination of high-strength glass, highly engineered frames and mechanisms has made it possible to reach the 3rd level of STANAG that classifies NATO military weapons.

The great value of these very high technologic and safety windows is also that they have an impeccable aesthetic, never spoiled by the protective structures which are completely invisible.

So, if you are working on a dream villa which has large glass walls or skylights, do not worry for its safety. From the refined Platheà solution to the many other customized options, we can make the environment absolutely safe without depriving it of the lightness and airiness it deserves. We also pay the same attention to the windows and doors of banks, post offices, commercial activities, jewelers, museums and art galleries.

Additional safety devices

Additional safety devices, such as engineered wall fixing systems, make the window resistant to break-ins.

The choice of frame and glass must be combined with devices that help in the general safety of the window. The metalware designed and sized according to specific requirements allows it to reach the highest protection classes.

Do not be afraid that a beautiful and large skylight, the bright window of a shop or the minimal structure of an art gallery may be scratched in beauty by too intrusive and heavy structures and mechanisms. Capoferri is keen to combine safety, functionality and aesthetics wisely. The frequent collaboration with famous architects continuously stimulates the company’s ability to flex the technical needs of the products to the most varied aesthetic requests from customers. In this way, we constantly find ourselves making safety windows with extremely high invisible characteristics which make each environment protected and reassuring for those who live it and for its contents.

All our secrets are collected in a work of art. In Piazzetta Brera in Milan, Cherubino Gambardella and Simona Ottieri celebrated the mechanical ability and the craftsmanship and manufacturing soul of Capoferri by installing the “Casket of Heaven, architecture in a window”. It shows a myriad of locks, hinges, brackets, brass, bronze, aluminum and steel hardware. It certainly represents a relatively rich part of our additional devices, but the very fact that an artistic piece exists in our honor in one of the most well-known places in the country is emblematic of the value of our works.

External shutters

To have a safe home or an industrial activity or factory which is protected from break-ins, the external shutters represent an additional element of protection.

The external shutters produced in our factories are studied and manufactured so that they can be a first obstacle for burglars and this is why the wall fixing systems are highly engineered.

How important is it to blend product quality with a captivating refined aesthetic that is always in harmony with the building to which it belongs?

Thin profiles and minimal lines can also belong to structurally solid and resistant frames. We deeply understand your need to feel protected in your environment and to protect its content.

We know that, especially in the case of luxury homes and residences, aesthetics has a strong impact on the satisfaction of those who live there. Thus, the collaboration with the great architects has led us to perfect our ability to combine functionality and aesthetic qualities.

How are armored external shutters and darkening systems capable of giving your facade a touch of originality? If made in the right materials, by letting the lightness and airiness of the forms prevail, they will be able to give personality to facades and interiors. So, an armored window will ensure any expected tranquility, by making use of effective technical characteristics which are invisible to the inexperienced.
