Cardea Solutions has launched a new RIBA CPD accredited course to help architects, builders and specifiers understand the latest window security standards, and provide practical advice on selecting the right solutions for specific applications.
The ‘Window Security By Design: Standards, Specification & Application’ seminar takes a close look at the latest standards including BS 7950, LPS 1175, LPS 1270 and ACPO Secured by Design, explaining content, scope and detailing any additional performance standards that may be required to support them.
It also provides an overview of the latest security technologies on the market, from retractable window grilles and removable window bars, through to shutters, mesh and polycarbonate window shields, in each instance giving a thorough breakdown of key benefits.
The course is classified as a RIBA core curriculum subject under the heading ‘Designing and building it: design, construction, technology and engineering’, and counts as one of the two hours core curriculum learning on this topic that professionals must complete each year as part of their RIBA CPD commitment.
Paul O’Carroll, Managing Director of Cardea Solutions, said: “When it comes to window security there are a number of key solutions available on the market which can make selecting the right one for the right project a tricky process. What we wanted to do with this CPD seminar was provide a thorough explanation for each product type, detailing key strengths and weaknesses, to equip professionals with the knowledge and confidence to match product and application as closely as possible.
Areas covered on the training course include security solutions for domestic and commercial aluminium, plastic and wooden windows, burglary resistance testing and classification, retrofit and new-build window security integration and general information on window security awareness.
