Which safety standard have you chosen for windows?

On the ground floor we have RC2 + partly burglar-resistant glass. On the upper floor only the window by the carport with RC2. Otherwise hardly anyone gets into the upper floor. All windows have lockable handles.

At our ground floor, RC2 + partially burglar-resistant glass.

What do you mean by RC2 and partially burglar-resistant glass? RC2 necessarily has P4A glazing, if not (but everything else is RC2) then it is RC2N?!

We still had WK2 without A3 glazing in the contract. According to the new standard, then RC2N. We don't need A3 glazing for all windows or it wasn't worth the extra cost to us.

The survey is missing WK5 / RC5 and WK6 / RC6.

We took WK6 - RC6 because we had already had two visits back then ... at some point you get tired of it ... however, the added security was also very expensive.

I consider everything above RC3 in living areas to be absolutely exotic, so I left it out. We're not talking about jewelers, police stations, or the like.

Seriously? I think that’s totally over the top, but no attempt or break-in has yet been made on my place. Maybe I would think differently then. On the other hand, I know the price differences here for RC2 compared to RC2, and I don’t even want to know what RC6 costs!

RC4 - The experienced offender additionally uses saw and impact tools such as a splitting axe, crowbar, hammer, and chisel – as well as a cordless drill. Windows of resistance class 4 have very high burglary resistance. Resistance time: 10 min.

RC5 - The very experienced offender additionally uses power tools such as a drill, jigsaw or sabre saw, and angle grinder with a max. disc diameter of 125 mm. Windows of resistance class 5 have very, very high burglary resistance. Resistance time: 15 min.

RC6 - The very experienced offender additionally uses power tools such as a drill, jigsaw or sabre saw, and angle grinder with a max. disc diameter of 230 mm. Windows of resistance class 6 have extremely high burglary resistance. Resistance time: 20 min.

I hope you don’t live in a wooden house or that the roof is covered in such a way that the professional burglar (who we are already talking about here) would rather get in that way... To me it feels a bit like a fortress, but I don’t know your neighborhood or the building, so please don’t take this as a criticism but as amazement.

What still worries me: what do you do in an emergency when the fire department or similar needs QUICK access? They will probably get in without major problems up to RC3 or 4, but with RC6?! They would probably just take the wall instead, right?

Crazy story...
