A Roomful of Issues, One Secure Solution

A high-risk environment rarely presents just one challenge.

Whether it’s the potential for self-harm, physical outbursts, infection control risks, or general wear and tear, mental health and specialist care spaces are often balancing multiple priorities at once.

And yet, something as fundamental as a window can sit at the centre of several of these risks, especially when its exposed glass, accessible handles, or fragile hardware that service users can interact with.

But rather than layering solution after solution (curtains, mesh, temporary boards, etc.), what if you could address multiple safety, comfort and maintenance issues with one robust, secure product?

Designed for Complexity. Built for Safety

Contour’s anti-ligature window protectors are designed specifically for complex care environments. Used widely across mental health facilities, CAMHS units, secure accommodation, SEN schools, and supported living services, they provide a secondary glazing layer that adds strength, protection and control, without interfering with the function of the original window.

By installing a window protector, you're not just defending glass. You're:

• Reducing ligature risk
• Protecting against impact damage
• Supporting safer airflow
• Improving privacy
• Simplifying infection control
• Speeding up cleaning and maintenance
• Helping environments stay compliant with key standards

Enhanced Safety Without Compromising the Space

Available in surface mounted, inset, or external versions, every window protector is made to measure, ensuring a precise fit that integrates with your existing layout.

Choose optional extras like:

• A controllable ventilation grille – this integrated solution allows the external window to remain open while airflow into the room is safely regulated via an external anti-ligature dial. Instead of relying on direct access to the window, which could introduce risks, the dial offers residents a safe and simple way to manage fresh air levels in their space. This provides a balance between security and personal comfort, supporting a more therapeutic, dignified environment. It’s a discreet, tamper-resistant alternative to traditional methods and is particularly useful in settings where service users may benefit from some level of environmental control without compromising safety protocols.
• An enclosed privacy blind – designed to sit safely between the window and the window protector, this integrated solution eliminates the need for curtains, which can be removed or pulled down in high-risk environments. The blind is operated via an external anti-ligature dial, allowing service users to control the light levels in their room without compromising safety. This added autonomy supports comfort and dignity, while also helping to maintain a consistent circadian rhythm – an essential factor in sleep regulation, recovery, and mental health. The fully enclosed design ensures the blind remains tamper-resistant, reliable, and easy to clean, making it a robust alternative to traditional light-blocking methods in secure settings.

Each option enhances the service user experience while maintaining safety, hygiene, and staff control.

A Smarter Way to Upgrade a Room

Window protectors are ideal for:

• Changing room use - when a room suddenly needs to support a more volatile service user
• Responding to safety concerns - like recurring breakage or attempted self-harm
• Preserving buildings - including listed properties where glazing can’t be changed
• Retrofitting - when you need added protection without replacing the entire window
• Improving compliance - especially where visible ligature risks have been flagged

Rather than address each concern separately, one well-specified window protector could do the work of many reactive add-ons.
