Apartment windows

The apartment windows do not open; ventilation is achieved by opening the sliding fixed panels. To open these:

  • Unlock using the key
  • Slide panel open

To prevent problems with the mechanism or damage to the sliding fixed panel ensure that the runners are kept clean and free from obstruction. All sliding panels are fitted with an internal glass balustrade (Image 1) to comply with building regulations. These balustrades must remain in place and must not be tampered with by the resident.
