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.

...we have that. We also have fixed glazing at a lofty height, as you can see in the profile picture.



...we have that, 150cm wide. 2 at a lofty height, 1 at a normal height.



When which, you already wrote yourself. Our 150cm wide (and 70cm high) tilt window is heavy enough for me when cleaning. Holding it at the bottom, one arm with the Kärcher for the panes... just barely manageable. You can hardly describe the light strip.
The fixed part is a light strip in the kitchen, work height... no problems

Regards Yvonne

We have one like that on the wall where the sofa will go. On the ground floor and fixed. It looks nice, but I can't say yet how it will be when we live there.

We wanted that when you sit on the sofa, not everyone sees my head right away, although it will probably only be dog walkers anyway, because it faces the field.

We have also planned light strips. On the ground floor (behind the couch like Emer) a fixed-glazed one with 278cm width and 80cm height. See also the profile picture, the opening at the back bottom left. However, you can't really see how big the whole thing is there. It will be installed next week. On the 1st floor, we also have a light strip in every room with 188cm width and 80cm height. Here, however, we decided to take 2 tilt-and-turn sashes (double windows).

We also have a fixed-glass light strip above the sofa in the living room, or where it will be once placed, with an opening size of 200 x 70.
Additionally, on the upper floor, there are light strips in every room and one in the hallway, opening size 200 x 57. These are purely tilt windows that can be fully opened for cleaning (attachment).
For adults, they are not suitable for looking outside in our case with normal posture (parapet height approx. 80), but you can wonderfully place a bed, a desk, or a bathtub in front of them, and they bring a lot of additional light into the room.
