Our flagship product, the multi-award-winning and internationally acclaimed Safevent anti-ligature window, in a vertical design.
Trusted by over 80% of NHS Trusts and widely specified in supervised care environments worldwide, the Safevent®, a benchmark product – was the first of its kind.
This ground breaking and patented design was first launched in the UK nearly two decades ago. It has been been continuously refined in conjunction with clinicians, facilities managers, architects and service users since 2005. The Safevent Vertical delivers all the trusted performance and safety features of the original Safevent® system in a space saving, vertical format.
A popular choice within heritage projects offering a sympathetic alternative to traditional Victorian sliding sash and Georgian bar windows. Its discreet and unobtrusive design helps solve planning challenges with listed buildings and sensitive refurbishment schemes.

A whitepaper created to help you make better and more informed decisions for your mental health facility.
Our new research-led report brings together fresh industry insights with two decades of frontline experience to help teams navigate choosing windows for mental health environments with clarity and confidence.
The Safevent vertical sliding window system comprises a double fronted window and a free sliding external sash.
The double window has one glazed area and the other is fitted with a stainless steel mesh. The sliding sash is glazed, sealing the mesh side when closed and is weather tight and draughtproof.
In this way, the window provides natural light and ventilation which can be controlled by service users, yet it also helps to maintain a safe, secure and anti-ligature environment to meet the requirements of secure facilities.
All Safevents are fabricated in-house at our Warrington manufacturing facility to ISO 9001 standards, and most importantly, always installed by our own Britplas employed fitting teams.
We have installed tens of thousands of Safevent windows in new build and refurbishment projects for public and private healthcare providers in the UK and across the globe.
Here are some of the reasons why the Safevent continues to be the benchmark window product for supervised care environments.
Our patented Multask handle provides an opening winder, patient thumb lock and staff lock within a single anti-ligature, stainless steel component.
