Simplex cleaning fittings are not a new invention. They have been around for over a hundred years.

Most people don't even realise that their windows may have them fitted already.

The system allows the bottom sash to open inwards into the room for easy, safe cleaning. It can be hinged to make the bottom sash open to the left or right, depending on the clients requirement.

These fittings are required by Scottish law for new builds. As all 1st floor and above windows have to be able to open inwards for safe cleaning to conform to building regulations. We can retro fit these to any sash windows.

The top sash does not swing inward. It is trapped between the window's outside facing and parting bead. It can however slide down the whole length of the opening. This allows the user to clean the window from above and below the sash with a sponge, cloth etc.

 

 

 

tip: even if you have a window cleaner, the simplex system is very useful when it comes time to paint your windows.It allows greater access to the casement frame, which surrounds the sashes.
