Tested from both sides

METAS® windows are tested on both sides in accordance with the European standard for forced entry resistance DIN EN 1627-1630):

  1. Fixed glazing:
    - inside and outside, up to resistance level RC4
  2. Operable window elements:
    - from inside, up to resistance level RC3
    - from outside, up to resistance level RC4

No risk for suicide attempts and vandalism

The window has no exposed edges inside. All fittings as well as the glazing bead and gasket are covered. Sash profiles and glazing beads are particularly massive, rounded and flush. The gap between frame and wing is covered so that no wire can be inserted to commit suicide.

Application

In detention facilities, courthouses, forensic hospitals and police stations.
