Hello

My daughter has just moved into a halls at university, on the ground floor.  She has safety restrictor on the window, which I presume is to stop intruders.  But I am concerned how she would get out in the event of a fire, if she could not get out the door.  The window is double glazed so would be hard to break.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Many thanks Nicky

Sorry I have re read your entry. It's it's classed as an escape window it should meet the following requirements: 

Height: The window should be between 800–1000 mm from the internal floor level, so that it's safe to climb out  

Size: The clear opening should be at least 0.33 square meters, and at least 450 mm in both width and height  

Safety: The window should lead to a safe place
