Keeping cool this summer with Window Restrictors
July 2, 2015So summer has finally hit us… and hit us hard over the last couple of days, everyone is sweltering in this heat trying to go about their normal business. During any hot spell windows are opened throughout home and businesses, leading to a potential risk of a small person or pet falling out of an open window, luckily there is a solution to this danger.
Window restrictors, as the name suggest, do exactly that, they restrict the amount that a window can be opened and stops a child or animal for falling out of a window. Here is an extensive range of window restrictors from locktrader.co.uk
