In Malaysia, doors and windows are not only the ventilation and lighting channels of houses, but also the first line of defense for home security. In the face of increasingly complex security challenges and extreme weather events, choosing the right security door and window system is crucial. This guide will provide you with a comprehensive solution to ensure the safety of your family and property.
Safety Risk Assessment: Understanding Malaysia’s Unique Challenges and Common Safety Hazards Analysis. Burglary Risk: On average, approximately 60 burglary cases occur in Malaysia every day
Climate disaster threat: The test of strong storms and rainstorms during the monsoon season on door and window structures
Possible accidental injuries: household safety accidents such as broken glass and hand entrapment
Fire escape requirements: Emergency exit design that meets safety standards
Burglar-proof door and window system: multi-layered protection strategy. First layer: physical barrier. Reinforced profile thickness standard: main frame thickness at least 1.4mm, and important parts above 1.6mm
Multi-point locking system: At least 3 points for locking, with up to 5-7 points for high-end systems
Anti-tamper design: concealed hinges, reinforced corner connectors
Lock level: Select locks that have passed MS825 certification or equivalent
Layer 2: Tempered Glass: After shattering, it forms small particles, reducing damage
Laminated Glass: The PVB film in the middle prevents penetration
Anti-theft glass: multi-layer composite, with impact resistance lasting for over 10 minutes
Suggested configuration:
Ground floor: at least 6.38mm laminated glass
Above the second floor: at least 6mm tempered glass
Important areas: Consider using composite safety glass with a thickness of 8mm or more
Layer 3: Additional protective device – invisible burglar mesh: made of stainless steel 316 material, with a diameter of at least 2.0mm
Safety grille: Built-in design, without compromising aesthetics
Door and window sensor: linked with the security system
Anti-climbing spikes/nails: protection for window sills and drainage pipes
Wind pressure resistance design: structural reinforcement key points for coping with the Malaysian monsoon season Profile design: reinforced rib structure, with wind pressure resistance rating above Class 3
Installation and fixation: The spacing between expansion bolts should not exceed 600mm
Sealing system: Three-way sealing design to prevent water infiltration from strong winds
Drainage system: pressure-balanced drainage holes to prevent rainwater from flowing back
For coastal areas, the standards in different regions recommend a minimum wind pressure resistance of 1500Pa, as well as protection against salt spray corrosion
High-rise buildings: Special calculation of wind load is required for buildings with more than 20 floors
Ordinary residential buildings: at least 1000Pa wind pressure resistance
