Implementing your Orange County home with these window safety tips can help safeguard also your family from accidental falls.
During the first week of April, National Window Safety Week is being recognized to emphasize the importance of practicing year-round window safety. To prevent window-related accidents, it is important that every family in Orange County is educated in understanding window and door safety in an emergency.
California Replacement Windows offers SIMONTON® Windows all of its residential and commercial clients in and around Pasadena, Riverside, South Bay, Orange County, Inland Empire, Anaheim, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Irvine, Huntington Beach and surrounding neighboring cities in Southern California.
TIP # 1:
Properly closed and secure windows to help protect children and deter intruders. Lock as well your patio doors when not in use.
TIP # 2:
Don't allow children to jump on beds or other furniture to help reduce the risk of a fall. Always keep in mind to avoid children climbing from windows through furniture or anything that allows them to do so.
TIP # 3:
Understand that window screens are designed to provide fresh air and keep insects out of your home and will not support the weight of a child or family pet.
TIP # 4:
To help minimize impact or accidental fall, you may plant shrubs and grass and add “soft landscaping” like mulch under your windows.
TIP # 5:
Learn the safety features of your windows and doors. Simonton hung and sliding windows have a ventilation latch, which limits the amount a window can be opened to about 4 inches for added safety.
TIP # 6:
Second-floor windows are a greater risk to children and pets. Double hung windows have two operating sash that allows you to open the top sash for safer ventilation while the bottom sash remains closed.
TIP # 7:
Choose heat-strengthened tempered glass that is stronger, more break-resistant and safely breaks into pebbles instead of sharp glass pieces.
Implementing your Orange County home with these window safety tips can help safeguard also your family from accidental falls.
Create a fire escape plan with two exits from each room and practice the plan with your family. This would include knowing how to open windows chosen as a way of escape. Make sure everyone understands the different escape routes and alternative ways out if those are blocked by smoke. Always make accommodations for family members with special needs and pets. Finally, establish a designated meeting place for the family outside the home.
