revelation Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 I have some windows fitted. However, there may have been an oversight on our part where a couple were supposed to be obscure non-opening, due to overlooking issues. I was wondering if anyone knows if it would be sufficient to just remove the handles in order to comply?
markc Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Opening restrictors should be sufficient, failing that removing the handles and covering fixing holes would be ok. Edited October 17, 2022 by markc
Temp Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 Do Building Regs require them to open? If so then restrictors are probably the way to go.

BC won’t care about overlooking. They will care about distances of windows (unprotected areas) from a boundary. 1

Ferdinand Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 Ob obscuring. You may also probably want sticky film on to obscure. Your call whether to remove later. I used this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00RDVE71W/ Still OK 5 years later. F
