Fire escape windows


Recommended Posts

Hi I have been doing a bit of reading regarding escape windows 

can anybody tell me why it says they must have a min height from floor of 800mm

surely the lower the cill the easier it is to get out. 

 

Is this in line with not having a kid fall out of them???

would fire escape hinges comply if the cill height was lower than 800mm

 

cheers russ.

@Russell griffiths

extract from AD B of the building Regs for England re escape windows:

“Note 1: Approved Document K Protection from falling, collision and impact specifies a minimum guarding height of 800mm, except in the case of a window in a roof where the bottom of the opening may be 600mm above the floor.”
