Gigaset: Wonderful! My wild thoughts here. If you have the windows open inward, where will your blind or curtain be? Inside and I guess you’d shift them to one side when opening the window? I’m trying to understand how this works. What about window nets when the window open inward? Will that be outside before the burglary proof? Or it’d be completely knocked off? Don’t mind me o and my irrational thoughts here. I’m building to naija code now and also considering naija mosquitoes. If only you’re doing this because of cleaning on a single floor building, won’t a 6m ladder fix the occasional cleaning of maybe 6 - 8 windows you’d have? Or a wraparound terrace design? Or a juliet balcony (shown below)? I am not convinced this design is right for this terrain. 1 Like

n3xt: The window opens flat out at full degree. It is not like Nigeria that opens at 90 degree. So open your window full on, leave the blind in place or shift to side. The opening does not affect the blinds in any way. With regards to mosquito net, you can introduce net slide just as done with casement windows. Or use a mosquito blind. 1 Like |

The curtain will be inside and you are correct it will be shift to one side to open the window and the window nets is optional and most of our houses are without burglary proof. Edit: i can upload a pic for you to see n3xt: |

rotecch77: Bi-folding/Multi-fold Windows and doors can’t have nets unless it’s a multi-track window. The windows they’re showing is pretty close to our own projected/awning windows here. All that’s required to achieve the design is the hinge. I’ve seen the type of window they described before but I didn’t pay close attention to it. |

n3xt: Inner net will fit in here by introducing separate track for the net as usual. Reason why I like 9” inch width block size it can accommodate any building component. Other sizes like 6”5”4” can’t accommodate all this system perfectly. Same thing with French door burglary can be fixed in there

rotecch77: If inner nets will be used then this negates ongoing discussion. I’ve shared this many times here. I did on the last and recently. It’s even oart of my ongoing DIY project. I shared picture of a house where a casement window was installed to open inwards; burglar proofs were installed outside the windows. Here’s the picture of the house once again.

Horlardorjah: Import bi-folding or multi-fold windows? Those are easy job here. Even it’s part of @rmx project. I think his is about 6m wide if I could remember. It’s a major part of my latest contemporary design and upcoming project. There’s a Chinese company that makes large sizes used for internal partitions here and I’ve known them since 2014. There are other folks in the uPVC market that do this type of windows here. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 7:04am On Apr 13, 2021 |
Here’s something from my old posts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usxbiNHc5xU It’s a floor-to-ceiling multi-fold sliding partition. There’s also a glass only version and the uPVC version. https://www.nairaland.com/2841505/nexthome-2016-construction-daily-updates/3#43184209 |

Of course, here’s the recently discussed openable bi-folding window metal protector with net done by me and the new one (pic 3) which is currently under construction. I can make a custom metal window/door with glass using the same approach. The accessories to achieve this are in the building materials market here in Lagos.

Horlardorjah: No doubts like Oga Dave suggested... probably mainland Europe thing....out of curiosity I went to an online market place to check....I can see so many shops are using caption "German windows" Tyska=German ....either they emanated from Germany ��.
