Question
What's the best way to maintain clean windows in multistory homes/buildings?
We will be constructing a three and four story home on the side of a slope with very difficult access to the numerous windows that will be used for daylighting. Do you have any suggestions for a way to clean these windows or keep them clean?
Answer
Install windows that have a tilt-in function to allow for cleaning from the inside.
- Marvin makes a "Tilt Turn" window.
- They are more expensive than conventional windows, but worth the price for maintenance.
Depending on the window height, type, and location, there are other tilt-in options that may be less expensive, but I would definitely recommend including this feature as a requirement for your windows.
