Hi Guys,

Cheers Mac

There is a requirement to provide emergency egress windows to habitable rooms on the ground and first floor levels of up to two storey dwellings unless a protected route is provided from those rooms to the final exit.
All habitable rooms on the ground floor should either open directly into an entrance hall or other suitable exit or be provided with an escape window. This has had a great impact on which window frames can be used for escape purposes and where they can be used.
Windows which meet fire regulations are those with an unobstructed clear opening area which is at least 0.33m2, with a minimum clear opening dimension of 450mm in either height or width. The lowest part of the opening must be between 800mm and 1100mm from the floor.

With the above in mind you can have UVPC window made to any size you require

This only applies if the existing windows are escape windows, the rules simply state that replacement windows should be no worse.

Look in the yellow pages for local fabricators. I have seen PVCu windows much smaller than this.
Or the online window manufacturers might do it (but these might be the ones that limit sizes of "standard" orders).
Avoid at all costs the National places - Everest or whatever.
