Hello!

At the moment, the question is which windows should be fixed and which ones should be operable...

Is it possible to clean roller shutters installed on fixed windows from the inside?

Hello and thank you very much for your contributions!

From what I have researched, it is possible, in case of a fixed window, to remove the glass to clean the roller shutter from the inside every 10 years or so, and then reinstall it later using silicone.
If no rain hits the roller shutters directly and the windows are cleaned normally, there won’t be much dirt accumulating behind them.
Casper, you are right… in my current house, the roller shutters on the south side are still in perfect condition.

The only real issue is with the fixed window units themselves starting from the upper floor. That annoys them the most...

I’m a bit confused here: do you have units with no operable sashes at all?

You can, but only if you have removable roller shutter tracks. Then you take off the tracks and carefully lower the roller shutter. However, this only works on the ground floor and only with two people.

Removable roller shutter tracks – AHA! I’ll definitely ask my window representative about that!
