Are UPVC casement windows designed to prevent children from opening them?

Whether UPVC casement windows have anti child opening design mainly depends on the specific design and configuration of the windows. UPVC casement windows, as a common type of window, are designed with a focus on practicality and safety. Some products take into account child safety factors during research and production, and incorporate anti child opening designs.
There are several common ways to implement child proof opening design on UPVC casement windows. One way is to install a child safety lock, which is usually exquisitely designed and requires a certain amount of force and specific operating methods to open, making it difficult for children to operate. The position of the safety lock is usually set near the window handle. Parents can open or close the lock as needed, which does not affect normal ventilation and can prevent children from accidentally opening the window. Another approach is to use a limiter device, which can limit the opening range of the window and prevent children from completely opening it, thereby reducing the risk of children climbing and falling from the window to a certain extent. Another design is equipped with a key controlled lock, which can maintain a certain level of ventilation for the windows during normal times, but fully opening requires a key, which children cannot operate on their own.
In the market, many UPVC casement window brands use child proof opening design as a selling point of their products. For example, some high-end brands' UPVC casement windows use multi-point locking systems, which not only enhance the sealing and anti-theft performance of the windows, but also play a role in preventing children from opening them. These windows will be detailed in promotional materials regarding their safety performance, including the working principle and usage method of child proof opening devices.
However, not all UPVC casement windows have a child proof design. When making a purchase, consumers need to clearly inquire with the merchant whether the window has relevant safety functions, and carefully review the product description or on-site demonstration to ensure that the selected product can meet the safety needs of the home.
