It could slice someone half the next time it falls and next time you won’t have the excuse of not knowing it was going to happen.
Nah.. it’s smaller than that – much more likely just to stove their skull in.
You won’t have a vacuum between the sheets so it won’t be double glazed in the useful sense anyway.
True, but from experience it was sufficient to stop condensation forming and dripping all over the top of the stairs (which also poses a hazard as they are bare wood).
If you want better insulation up there have a propper window fitted,
Also true – but a professional window fitter will want to erect scaffolding etc to reach it (we’ve asked) which turns it into a VERY expensive job for one small window.
Whereas I am stupid enough to balance precariously at the end of a three-section extending ladder. 😀
If its overhead it needs to be held in place by a mechanical fixing.
Agreed. I was planning to fix some alu plates at the top by tapping into the existing metal frame, and some small right-angle brackets at the bottom (screwed to wood casement) to ensure it can’t fall out even if the glue fails. But ideally I’d like them as back up to work with the glue rather than instead of.
Right now there is still one case up there, where it has been for a few years. So I really need to do something.
