Baby
safety, child safety and home safety experts agree that children must
be protected from falls from windows. John Sterling window guards are
designed for safety and provide home security, too. Each year in the
USA, over 15,000 children fall from open windows. Many die or suffer
serious injuries from landing on concrete or other hard surfaces.
NOTE:
Check with your local building inspection department for window guard
requirements for your locality.
NOTE:
New Jersey Law now requires the window guard cover the entire lower
half of a double hung or single hung window, from the top of the sill
to the bottom half of the upper sash, with less than a 4 inch gap
above and below the guard. Choose BK-1130 series fixed mount window
security guards for Non-Sleeping Room Windows.
Childproofing
windows with 1120, 1130 or 1170 series off-white John Sterling window
guards is a must for multi-level homes, apartments, condos or homes
where windows are close to the floor. John Sterling window guards
have solid steel bars to add security to any window. For baby and
child safety, install window guards on any window more than 12 feet
above ground level, windows 2nd through 6th story, or at any level
where a child could fall or climb through an open window. Window
screens are not strong enough to keep children safe from window
falls. Check local city codes prior to help you select the proper
type of window guards to protect your children.
