If you have children in the house or have children visit regularly, you should consider the use of window restrictors for their safety and your peace of mind.
Why is this so important?
Figures released by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, some four years ago, revealed that more than 4,000 children under the age of 15 were injured falling from windows each year in the UK.
One child a day ends up in hospital after falling from a building.
In the USA, research has suggested that falls from a three storey or above accounts for 90% of child fall fatalities, with average age of a child falling from a window being only five years of age.
Don’t let your home become one of these statistics.
Indeed there are a growing number of window manufacturers, and security firms who want to see legislative changes in public buildings as well as domestic homes to ensure that stringent safety standards are set.
UK Locks now offer a window restrictor installation service for vulnerable windows and would be pleased to quote, to make sure your house is a safe for small children as is possible.
