Secured by Design

Scotia’s Enhanced Security award (PAS 24 / SBD) achieves the most stringent security standard available in the UK, and is independently verified by both the British Standards Institute and Police Crime Prevention Initiatives.

To attain this premium security standard the windows and doors must withstand a series of rigorous security tests, including impact strength tests and attacks from individuals who have been trained in the most successful methods of breaching window and door locks.
