MINIMUM SILL HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS
The bottom frame of an opening window must be positioned at
least 0.8 m above floor level.
Restrictor locks can be used for centre-pivot windows with sills
below this level.
If the window functions as a means of escape/access, the bottom
frame must be positioned as shown on page 7.
VENTILATION
In habitable rooms fresh air must be admitted for the health and
safety of its occupants. VELUX roof windows provide both purge
(rapid) and background ventilation to meet these requirements.
Additionally mechanical extraction is required in kitchen and bath-
rooms etc to rapidly remove large volumes of aqueous vapour.
Building Regulation requirements should therefore be checked as
to the provision of the correct amount and type of ventilation for a
room depending on its size and use.
