Window locks

I am about to buy a bungalow, with upcv windows.

As I am a bit of a fresh air freak and like to sleep with my bedroom window open, but in a bungalow would feel a little (ok a lot) nervous sleeping with an open window.

Can you buy locks, which allow the window to stay open a couple of inches?

  • Many uPVC widows are already fitted with locks which allow this as standard. Aftermarket locks are also available which allow the window to open just a few inches.
