The Critical Need for Burglar-Resistant Glass – Lessons from Real Break-Ins
Security breaches in commercial and residential properties are on the rise across Europe. In 2022, a series of high-profile burglaries in London exposed vulnerabilities in standard glazing, where intruders shattered glass windows within seconds. This highlights the urgent need for burglar-resistant solutions like those from KFORTS, a leader in security glazing with over 20 years of expertise.
Our forced entry-resistant glass is rigorously tested to EN 356 (Resistance to Manual Attack, up to P8B) and EN 1627 (Burglar Resistance Classes RC1-RC6), ensuring protection against crowbars, hammers, and drilling attempts. Unlike traditional glass, KFORTS’ burglar-proof products use multi-layered laminates with polycarbonate interlayers, delaying intrusion and deterring criminals.
A case study in Berlin demonstrated how a jewelry store equipped with forced entry-resistant glass doors thwarted a smash-and-grab attempt, giving police crucial response time. Beyond security, our glass façades and partitions maintain sleek aesthetics while meeting EN 14351-1 (Window and Door Performance Standards).
With KFORTS, architects and property owners no longer have to choose between safety and design—our burglar-resistant solutions deliver both.
