When choosing new windows and doors, most homeowners focus on appearance, energy efficiency, and price — but security is just as important.
That’s where PAS 24 and Secured by Design come in! This is also a requirement for Building Regulations Document Q for new builds and extensions.
With our ADVANCE 70 windows and doors, security is built into the system. This helps homeowners create properties that are stylish, thermally efficient, and designed to provide enhanced protection and peace of mind.
Modern homeowners are increasingly searching for PAS 24 / Secured by Design windows and doors – home improvement products that combine security, thermal efficiency, and modern styling. The ADVANCE 70 System is designed to meet these requirements while offering long-lasting performance and elegant design options for every property style.
What Is PAS 24?
PAS 24 is a recognised UK security standard that tests how well windows and doors resist attempted break-ins.
Unlike basic security checks, PAS 24 tests the complete window or door system, including:
- Frames
- Glazing
- Hinges
- Hardware
- Locks
Products are rigorously tested against common burglary methods including:
- Forced entry
- Lock manipulation
- Mechanical attacks
- Impact testing
This ensures the entire system performs as a high-security solution rather than relying on just one component.
For homeowners, PAS 24 compliant windows and doors provide greater confidence that their property is protected against modern intrusion methods.
What Is Secured by Design?
Secured by Design (SBD) is the official police-backed initiative focused on improving home security and reducing crime.
In simple terms:
- PAS 24 is the security testing standard
- Secured by Design is the wider accreditation scheme
Together, they represent one of the highest standards of residential security available for modern windows and doors in the UK.
Secured by Design products are specifically designed to help reduce opportunities for criminal activity while maintaining attractive aesthetics and everyday practicality.
Why PAS 24 & Document Q Matter for Modern Homes
Modern burglars often target weak locks, outdated hardware, and poorly secured window systems.
PAS 24 certified windows and doors are designed and tested to resist these common attack methods while also helping properties meet modern building regulations, including Document Q.
Benefits of PAS 24 and Document Q compliant windows and doors include:
- Better protection against break-ins
- Enhanced peace of mind
- Improved home security
- Potential insurance benefits
- Compliance with modern building regulations
- Stylish designs without compromising safety
For homeowners, this means choosing products that not only look beautiful but also deliver modern security and long-term performance.
