Attack test video
The test video showcases the durability and safety features of the Vale Window, designed specifically for mental healthcare settings. This innovative window includes several critical attributes: it is attack-resistant, allows safe access to fresh air, features an anti-ligature design and has slim sightlines that maximize light and airflow.
In the video, a series of escalating attacks target the window’s frame, mesh, and glass using increasingly severe tools and techniques. Despite the intensity of these assaults, the Vale window holds up exceptionally well, remaining fully operational even after sustained impact. The glass, a multi-layered laminated structure, does not shatter, demonstrating its resilience. Even if the glass were to break, it would still retain its safety due to its laminated design, underscoring the window’s suitability for secure mental healthcare environments.
