Added Safety

Extra Space
The Stronghold System can be used in multi-story applications. A balcony enclosure or wintergarden can be created to provide extra year-round living space or as a barrier against outdoor noise. Occupants can enjoy the winter sun in a protected spot or take advantage of fresh breezes.
Ventilation
The Stronghold System is fit for purpose where openable windows are required to safeguard against a fall of 1 metre or more. As the entire glazed area can be opened to allow airflow they can be used to maximise natural ventilation and cooling in multi level applications. Ideal for windows that require extra strength in bedrooms or wet rooms.
