Our ground floor living room, a typical 2 rooms knocked into one set-up, has a wide 3 pane / window bow at the front, the rear has French doors with side windows. All are pre2001 upvc that needs replacing because the glass is fitted from the outside and most panes are now either blown or showing signs of doing so.
the front bow window has just two top opening windows on the front pane, which we wanted for security more than anything. The side Windows being fixed.
we’ve had a couple of quotes. One guy said that we can’t have fixed side windows anymore, they have to open to facilitate escape. The other guy said they don’t need to open as we have a door leading to the hall next to the front door, and we have French doors at the rear of the room.
who is correct?
