Lowered handles

Thought you may be interested to see this picture of the lowered handles on the kitchen windows we've had fitted today. Previously there was a standard casement window with a fanlight above. Complete waste having the fanlight, impossible to reach over the depth of the worktop. I idly asked the question when the chap came to quote, and yes it's perfectly possible to have lowered handles. The fitter who has been fitting windows for 30 years said he's never seen them before! We also have them on 2 bedroom windows where we have desks in front of the windows.

our windows were changed around 5 years ago and we also asked for lowered handles due to my wifes disability.
Certainly not a new thing.0 -
That's handy! I didn't know that. I'll tell my next client 🙂Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

That's interesting, we have 600mm walls and I have 2 windows I cannot reach without jumping onto or laying across the worktop!1
