We're considering replacing at least soem of the double glazing that's
starting to show its age. The concern is upstairs/bedroom windows.

What we want is units that can be cleaned from the inside only. No
ladders, window cleaners, things on long poles, or people with very long arms.
Just windows that have the ability to clean both the inside and
outside surfaces of all the panes from inside the house.

The windows in question are 2.5m swide and 1.2m high. What would you specify?

That's mandatory for windows above ground under Scottish regulations.

Sounds like a plan ... we'll move to scotland
p.s. now many windows do you have _below_ ground?

When did that come in to force as I have DG upstairs that only open out.
Just recently moved into this house so DG was probably done a number of
years back.

I guess if you are moving you could just get two bungalows.

Excellent. Free prescriptions, free eye tests, free universities, and
houses that are nearly affordable.

Crap neighbours..

I think it would help here if we all stopped being silly and those in
Scotland with said windows had a look to see who made the frames...

I don't have any, but houses with basements do :-)

My new aluminium windows, made by Smart Windows do this. Mind you I
don't bother to clean them as I had Pilkington's self-cleaning glass
put in on the outside. It didn't cost much extra. The glass never
looks as clean as if you had cleaned it but it never really gets
dirty. The only thing that does stick to it is spiders' webs.

my parents house, built in 1939, had hinges on the upstairs sashes, but I
doubt if it was mandatory at the time.
