Donegal firm Lynch Windows joins Secured by Design

The Donegal based firm specialises in the manufacture, supply and fit of a range of products for commercial and residential clients including a number of uPVC window and doors, sliding sash windows, aluminium windows, composite doors, bifold doors, patio doors and even shop fronts.

With a workforce of 60, the family run business was established in 2000 and continues to grow from strength to strength. The company offers an in-house design team, fabrication workshops and fitting teams, and their latest projects include a large scale apartment block in Dublin, retrofitting for the local county councils alongside on-going work with local schools and a nursing unit.

Lynch Window’s core principle is that strong growth is built on trust in quality, service and standards, and their accredited products can be found here on our dedicated members page.

General Manager Gavin Cullen said, ”We are really pleased to get the SBD stamp of approval for our door and window products which offer a high level of security suitable for residential and small commercial properties”.

Secured by Design (SBD) is owned by the UK Police Service with the specific aim of reducing crime and increasing safety for businesses and individuals.

SBD seeks to improve the physical security of buildings and the surrounding area using products such as doors, windows, locks and walling systems along with fencing systems that meet the SBD Police Preferred Specification security requirements.

SBD have many partner organisations, ranging from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government through to local authorities, housing associations, developers and manufacturers and work closely with standards and certification bodies.

SBD is the only way for companies to obtain police recognition for security-related products in the UK, through the Police Preferred Specification - a product-based accreditation scheme developed 25 years ago, which provides a recognised standard for all security products that effectively deter and reduce crime. SBD work with manufacturers and standards authorities to ensure that security standards are current and updated to keep pace with emerging crime trends.
