Hi friends,



The UPVC window in the link below is exactly the size I need. However, I'd like to install it so the opening part is side-hung rather than horizontall y hung. In other words, I want to rotate it 90 degrees, so that the half-wa y divider is vertical. Apart from needing to drill new drain holes on the n ew 'bottom' edge of the frame, can anyone see any problem with this?



Many thanks, Al

I have done exactly this ten years ago. No problems.

You may need to re-pack your sealed units ... to make sure they are loading in right direction onto frame.
