Revolutionary Component Arrives
» » GT QUADGUARD IS A NEW,
revolutionary component that
simply and effectively enhances the
security of PVCu doors.
It builds on the two decades
of experience that GT Window
Products has invested in ground-
breaking component design. GT
QuadGuard has been thoroughly
tested with national door
manufacturers and installers and
has proved a great success.
Its pedigree includes the
unique GT Stay Guard Elite
and the non-route direct fixing
capabilities of the GT Guardian.
The two have been combined to
create a face fix security solution
capable of exceeding the stringent
PAS24 testing conditions.
GT QuadGuard is
manufactured from high tensile
steel and it is salt spray resistant
for up to 240 hours. The sash
and frame components are
identical so that they look
neat when installed as well as
providing homeowners with the
added assurance of enhanced
security.
“We are really excited about
QuadGuard,” explains Carl
Taylor, Managing Director at
GT Window Products. “We’ve
worked hard to take the best of
GT Stay Guard Elite and GT
Guardian so that we can perfect
the design and materials in
QuadGuard to ensure it performs
at the highest possible levels.”
