Rothley, a trusted name in home ironmongery, has launched a new and improved Window Safety Barrier Kit, designed to help housebuilders meet safety regulations without compromising on design or installation speed.

Fully tested to BS 6180:2011, the kit provides a safe and compliant barrier solution for upper floor windows — a growing focus for building inspectors and developers with increased enforcement of Building Regulations, particularly Part K. With two sleek colour options and three length choices, it offers flexibility for multiple property types and room layouts.

The newly upgraded kit includes:

  • 40mm corrosion-resistant tubular rail – strong, durable and sleek
  • Discreet, neater bracket caps – for a clean, professional finish
  • Supplied fixings – including wall plugs and screws compatible with timber, aggregate block, concrete, clay brickwork walls with plasterboard substrate.
  • Eco-friendly single-box packaging – fully recyclable, flat-packed for site efficiency

“We know how important it is for housebuilders to stay ahead of both safety regulations and customer expectations,” said Stuart Hobbs, CEO at Rothley. “This kit has been designed to meet all the right standards, but it’s also been built to install quickly, look great, and reduce waste on site. It’s a win-win for compliance, sustainability, and style.”

Why it matters:

  • There have been instances of falls and enforcement actions where window protection has been inadequate
  • BS 6180:2011 and Building Regulations Part K now make it clear: bottom of openings less than 800mm above finished floor level must be restricted or guarded.
  • Rothley’s kit is a fast, no-fuss way to meet these obligations without compromising on the finish.
