Champions of home security
VEKA plc proudly announces a significant milestone : the certification of its entire product range to the recently updated PAS 24 : 2022 security standards , for double and triple-glazed products . VEKA is the first Systems House to secure this certification , setting a new gold standard for safety , trust , and home security .
PAS 24 is a rigorous benchmark designed to measure the security efficiency of windows and doors . The primary objective of this testing is to ensure these entry points can effectively deter and resist attempts of intrusion by opportunistic burglars . The newly introduced PAS 24 : 2022 officially came into effect in September 2022 , phasing out the earlier PAS 24 : 2016 standard .
Diving deeper , the updated 2022 standard isn ’ t merely a routine upgrade ; it is a comprehensive overhaul meant to align with the evolving methods and tools employed by criminals . In an age where burglars continuously refine their techniques to bypass conventional security systems , it ’ s paramount for industry standards to be several steps ahead . PAS 24 : 2022 accomplishes this by considering the latest in criminal practices and introducing more sophisticated testing tools that mimic real-world threats .
“ As the first Systems House to achieve the PAS 24 : 2022 certification on all products , our dedication to our consumers ’ safety remains evident ,” remarks Jack Scullion , Product and Innovation Manager . “ A key aspect in all new build developments is PAS24:2022 and with upcoming regulation changes imminent with the Future Homes Standards , this will likely include triple glazing .” He continued “ VEKA can provide solutions across all product ranges , and the latest PAS 24 : 2022 Kitemarks will give our customers the ability to choose solutions with both double or triple glazing .”
VEKA double and triple-glazed products are now also SBD (“ Secured By Design ”) certified , which signifies that they meet rigorous security standards and are endorsed by the Police Preferred Specification scheme aimed at “ designing out crime .” Achieving SBD certification translates to real-world benefits for customers . By choosing SBD-certified products , customers can enjoy enhanced safety and peace of mind , knowing that they are significantly less susceptible to break-ins and other security risks . This also can result in lower insurance premiums and increased property value , making VEKA products an excellent investment for both residential and commercial applications .
Hazel Goss , Secured by Design , said : “ I am really pleased to see VEKA gain their PAS24:2022 certification and with triple glazing available on their doors and window products which is an achievement , due to the extra requirements required to house triple glazing . Well done VEKA ”.
VEKA ’ s achievement in certifying its entire product range to these standards ensures every home equipped with its products is a sanctuary , impervious to external threats .
The company remains committed to proactive research and development , in collaboration with security experts worldwide , to stay ahead of evolving threats and , as the industry shifts and transforms , homeowners and partners can trust VEKA to remain at the forefront , consistently upholding the brand promise of quality , innovation , and unparalleled security .
