Rocky Mountain House has over 200 reported incidents of large wild animals near residences each year. Installing windows in homes bordering a wooded area requires a special approach to safety. Choosing impact-resistant designs that can withstand accidental or intentional exposure to animals becomes critical.

Technical characteristics of the protection systems
Canglow window installers use a multi-level security system. The construction is based on a reinforced profile with 3.5mm thick outer walls. Our vinyl glazing is manufactured using triplex technology with an intermediate layer of 1.8mm thick polyvinyl butyral film.
To understand the level of protection: reinforced window systems are ASTM F-1233 certification tested, which implies resistance to impact loads in the range of 400-500 Joules. This meets standard safety requirements for regions with high wildlife activity. The window installation company utilizes designs that exceed the minimum requirements of the standard by 30%, which provides an additional margin of safety.
Peculiarities of mounting technology
When replacing windows, special attention is paid to the creation of a reinforced fixing contour. The anchoring elements are installed with a reduced spacing – every 300 mm around the perimeter of the frame. The depth of anchoring into the supporting structure is at least 120 mm. Additional rigidity is provided by steel embedded elements integrated into the assembly joint.
Innovative security solutions
Modern window systems are equipped with shock and vibration sensors. If suspicious activity is detected, the system automatically activates an audible alarm and signals to the security desk. Special glass coating prevents splinters from flying even in the event of a strong impact.
Integration with monitoring systems
The protective structures include infrared motion sensors with a detection range of up to 6 meters. The system distinguishes large animals and triggers an alarm when they approach the windows. Video cameras with night vision function provide round-the-clock perimeter monitoring.
Durability and reliability
All construction elements are tested for cyclic loads simulating the impact of animals. Fittings are made of high-strength alloys with increased wear resistance. Hinges and locking mechanisms are designed for extreme loads.
Aesthetics and functionality
Despite the increased security requirements, security windows retain an elegant appearance. The profile is colored in natural tones that harmonize with the surrounding nature. The design provides full ventilation in a safe mode.
Energy efficiency solutions
Reinforced windows have increased thermal insulation characteristics. Multi-chamber profile and special double-glazed windows minimize heat loss in winter. The microventilation system allows you to regulate air exchange without the risk of animal intrusion.
Service maintenance
Regular maintenance includes checking locking mechanisms, calibrating sensors and updating security software. Specialists perform seasonal diagnostics of all structural elements.
Economic feasibility
Investments in security window systems pay off by preventing possible property damage. Insurance companies offer substantial discounts when installing certified security structures.
Comprehensive security solutions
For maximum home protection, a multi-pronged approach that includes the installation of security windows and fiberglass doors is recommended. Canglow offers a full range of security solutions for your home.
