Get Security Run Up Blocks From Your Fabricator Now

New 14mm Run Up Blocks to increase the security of windows up to the PAS 24 standard can now be specified to your fabricator. They can also be ordered for security retrofit of windows and doors of previous customers.

The Run-Up Blocks come from Glazpart. They can be used for multiple systems. They are fitted all the way around the frame either by the fabricator or the installer. The new product is designed for resisting forced entry by opportunistic burglars.

Publicly Available Specification

In the UK, PAS 24 compliance is a legal requirement for new-build homes and certain property conversions under Approved Document Q (Security of Dwellings) of the Building Regulations in England, Wales and Scotland.

Easy fit

The new Run Up Blocks are easy to install (simply clip in) and at 14mm they come in an ideal size that allows them to fit smoothly between the frame and profile and as a result providing more clearance and avoiding interference fits.

There are two variants. The first is the Multi-System Run Up Block, designed to fit with 4 different system profiles: Deceuninck 2500 & 2800, Kommerling C70 & O70, Rehau Total 70 and Selecta Advance 70.

For all 4 profiles, the Run-Up Block can be used all the way around the frame (2 on each side). The product comes in 4 colours including white, brown, oak brown and grey.

Just for Logik

A second type has been developed specifically for the Eurocell Logik system with the same effect and objective to help companies achieve PAS 24. It is also installed in the same way, with 2 on each side near the centre of the frame sides. They are also available in white, brown, oak brown and grey.

Prevent burglaries

Dean Bradley, Glazpart Sales Director Fenestration, said: “The new 14mm Run Up Blocks are welcome additions to our extensive Glazing Accessories range. Using Run-Up Blocks not only aids compliance with PAS 24, it also demonstrates best practice and gives homeowners greater home security and peace of mind. By installing Run-Up Blocks, window companies are not only doing the job right, they are also helping prevent burglaries.”
