Side guided
This window allows cleaning from the inside.
The hinges are hidden in the rebate.
With side guided easy clean hinges, the sash
can be opened up to 108° producing a gap of
150-200
mm at the back edge of the sash –
just enough to reach out and clean the out-
side of the glass.
The sash is operated by means of a handle
at the centre of the side sash. For operation
with handle, the sash can be secured in a
ventilation position by opening the sash 10-
20
mm and pushing the handle downwards.
For other opening angles, the sash is con-
trolled by the friction in the ironmongery.

Side guided
Never open a side hung window
for the purpose of airing the
room unless it is secured by either
a window stay or a safety catch. In
case of strong winds or draughts,
you cannot count on the ironmon-
gery friction stays to keep the sash
in a ventilation or open position.
