I moved into this apartment some months ago and although the kitchen and bedroom windows have split secondary glazing that I can raise to open the windows, the living room has fixed top to bottom secondary glazing that can't be opened.
However, it's getting a bit cold these days and I can see a gap between the two sash windows that needs to be insulated. also, the space between the two windows is always full of five to ten house flies and wasps.
So I'd like to take the secondary windows down so I can clean the space and insulate the older windows but I don't see any way to remove them.
Could anyone view the pictures I took and see what type they are and tell me how they can be removed and put back after cleaning?
I'm under the impression that they have been semi permanently sealed with the strips that go along side and on top and bottom of them; perhaps with some kind of glue rather than a snap on method?
The windows also have three tabs on either side that slide up and down; I assume this is to firm up the seal.
