I ordered a roof light for a bedroom in a new house. The bedroom in question has a low pitched roof and the bottom of the roof light is at approx 1.2m off the bedroom floor.
Initially ordered it manual opening and sent all architects drawings to the manufacturer as instructed, they called me back and said I should consider an electric operator window because the manual one opens quite high and you need to be able to reach it to pull it down. So I ordered electric...
Got this installed now and it only opens about 30cm and takes about a minute to open with the switch. This is the only accessible window in the bedroom.
My fear is it doesn't meet building regulations for fire escape. Am I correct in thinking this? I had no idea it would only open so little.
