The AquaLOCK® Windows Protector can reliably protect different types of windows. It provides high sealing performance, robust durability, and effective flood protection for any area where water tends to accumulate quickly at the window – especially basement, facade, and lightwell windows.
Basement windows
Basement windows are highly vulnerable to flooding because they are at or below ground level. The Protector effectively prevents water ingress in these locations.
Floor-level or low façade windows
Windows close to the ground are often exposed to flooding. The acrylic barrier protects these windows effectively from surface water intrusion.
Lightwell windows and small exterior openings
Lightwell windows, small façade openings, and other particularly vulnerable areas benefit from this robust external protective solution.
Summary
The AquaLOCK® Windows Protector effectively safeguards basement windows, low-level façade windows, lightwell windows, and other small exterior openings against water ingress.
Yes, the AquaLOCK® Windows Protector significantly enhances security. It uses a robust acrylic barrier that makes forced entry more difficult, improves the basic security of the window, and simultaneously provides reliable flood protection with high sealing performance.
Durable acrylic panel
The sturdy 15 mm acrylic panel is much harder to break or force open than conventional glazing. It increases the window’s resistance and makes mechanical tampering more difficult.
Additional external protective barrier
The Windows Protector blocks direct access to the window. This greatly hinders prying or tampering attempts, further increasing the protection factor.
Deterrent effect
The visible acrylic barrier immediately signals potential intruders that additional effort is required. This acts as a deterrent and reduces the risk of burglary.
Summary
The AquaLOCK® Windows Protector noticeably improves burglary protection, as the sturdy acrylic barrier significantly hinders forced entry.
Yes, the AquaLOCK® Windows Protector can be equipped with optional enhancements. The AquaLOCK® Windows Protector offers flexible add-ons for increased convenience, better adaptation to different window situations, and additional protection. The modules can be combined individually, expanding the system’s functionality.
Integrated insect protection
A fine-mesh insect screen can be added to reliably protect light-well or façade windows from insects. The ventilation function remains intact while flood protection continues to perform fully.
Various flap sizes
Multiple flap variants allow precise adjustment to different window openings, ensuring optimal protection tailored to structural requirements.
Flexible expansion and customization options
- Individual modules for added convenience
- Adaptations according to the building situation
- Additional functions for everyday use and safety
Summary
The AquaLOCK® Windows Protector is flexibly expandable and, with optional modules, provides optimal customization for enhanced comfort and safety.
Yes, the AquaLOCK® Windows Protector noticeably improves insulation. By adding an extra acrylic layer, the AquaLOCK® Windows Protector creates an insulating air gap that reduces heat loss, increases energy efficiency, and minimizes common cold bridges at vulnerable basement and façade windows.
Insulating air gap
The installation creates an additional air space that acts as a natural insulation layer. It reduces heat transfer and improves the thermal stability of the window.
Enhanced energy efficiency
The reinforced thermal protection can lower a building’s energy demand and make indoor conditions noticeably more comfortable – especially in cooler areas such as basements.
Reduced cold spots at the window
The acrylic barrier minimizes typical cold bridges that occur particularly at basement windows. This reduces condensation and increases comfort.
Summary
The AquaLOCK® Windows Protector effectively enhances thermal insulation by creating an insulating air gap and reducing heat loss at the window.
The AquaLOCK® Windows Protector is essential for reliably protecting windows against water intrusion. Thanks to flexible installation, high sealing performance, and robust construction, the AquaLOCK® Windows Protector provides effective flood protection – regardless of frame or reveal conditions.
