    PVC Window Trim

    For the top, run some glue along the trim as well. Stick the trim up as before on sealant, keep it away from the frame until it's straight/in correct position, then push onto frame. Spray some activator along to set in place Only a small bead of glue required!

    Some regs say clearance must be 450mm both in width and height. Others say 450mm on the width OR height is fine if 0.33 is also achieved

    Is there a difference between a fire escape window and a window with a large opening?

    Where is this piece taken from? We had an opening calculated at 0.38m2 which an inspector failed due to the 450mm clearance ruling not being the case on both height and width His book of regs stated clearance must be 450mm on both width and height

    Origin and Schuco bifolds

    I thought Origin was 25 yrs on the profile?? Trickle vents are needed on any new build unless you have some kind of ventilation system installed. If there's a window in the same room as the bifold I'd opt for trickle vents in there instead. Air flow is req per room
