There’s an interior groove that holds screens — which are about 8000 times easier to remove than screens for double-hungs. And child bars can be mounted flush against the interior of the frame, directly to the walls.
Am I the only person who’s ever operated casement windows before?
I like ’em.
Parents are going to have to put full window bars (like jail!) or the kids could just climb right over them like a ladder. Instead, they may have to put some kind of lock on the window that limits on how wide the windows can open. I was also thinking about screens….also on the inside? Hmmm…..
inside? I’ve never seen them installed that way, would really make one feel imprisoned.
This also means the people who live there will have to buy really expensive stand-alone AC units, unless the place will have central air.
Yes, my thought, too, Promenade. But on second thought, I think child safety bars are usually installed on the interior side of the window.
could be a stupid question – but how do you put protective “child” bars on windows that open out?
gack. they are so dorm-like.
*rob*
Casement windows (like these) are far better for sound insulation than a double-hung window.
I believe it should be “double-hanged” (for obvious reasons) Can anyone back me up on this?
I agree – this works.
