Hello everyone!
Does anyone have experience with horizontally positioned strip windows, e.g. sill height 135 cm, window width 160 cm?
We would like to have such windows in various places in the house (kitchen, bathroom & in the wall, where at a distance of 6 m the neighbor’s house stands, …), but we would prefer a solution where the windows can be cleaned fairly easily.
We can think of three solutions:
1) Fixed glazing
Cleaning the windows from outside is only possible without a ladder on the ground floor.
2) Tilt and turn window
The windows must not be too wide, otherwise they are difficult to open fully because they would protrude too far into the room.
The windows must not be too wide, otherwise the hinges won’t hold anymore.
What would be the maximum width?
If necessary, the strip windows have to be divided into double windows.
3) Tilt window
The window needs a function where you can fold it down horizontally like an oven door for cleaning.
Does anyone have practical experience with this and can say when which solution is recommended?
Thanks and best regards
Peter N.
