Is it permissable to lock an escape window and put the key behind a 'break glass' for key to escape?
I did think about that but discarded it as the window will be double glazed and there is a reasonable possibility that there would be firemen below it.What about a fixed window with safety glass and a glass break hammer?
So you think it's a good idea to have to escape through a first floor window and possibly hang from the window cillYou mean like they have on trains.......
You are far more likely to be dead by the time the flames get to you.burning to death
How would they do it ? They couldn't get it approved for both planning and bldg. regs at the same time. Suppose they could get planning with window fixed shut ,then change it to opening window for egress purposes and bldg. regs approval and hope nobody complained when window was opened.I’d get it signed off with whatever they want and swap it for a proper window the next day.
