Hello everyone!
Does anyone have experience with horizontal strip windows, for example, with a sill height of 135 cm (53 inches) and a window width of 160 cm (63 inches)?
We would like to have such windows in different parts of the house (kitchen, bathroom, and in a wall where the neighbor’s house is 6 m (20 feet) away…), but we would prefer a solution where the windows are reasonably easy to clean.
We have thought of three options:
1) Fixed glazing
Cleaning the windows from outside is possible without a ladder only on the ground floor.
2) Tilt-and-turn windows
The windows should not be too wide, otherwise it is difficult to fully open them because they would stick out too far into the room.
Also, if the windows are too wide, the hinges may not hold properly.
What would be the maximum width?
If necessary, the strip windows would need to be divided into double windows.
3) Top-hung windows
The windows need a function that allows them to be tilted downwards like an oven door for cleaning.
Does anyone have practical experience with this and can advise when each solution is recommended?
Thank you and best regards,
Peter N.
