Q: At present what are the requirements laid down by the Buildings Regulations concerning egress windows?
A: The window should have an unobstructed openable area that is at least 0.33m2 and at least 450mm high and 450mm wide (the route through the window may be at an angle rather than straight through). The bottom of the opening area should not be more than 1100mm above the floor.
Q: How can I make sure that my customers know how to move the window to the easi-clean position?
A: Cotswold produce the EZ range of easi-clean egress stays that have an instruction label and a clearly identifiable release mechanism to re-position the window for easy cleaning. |
