White Fire Escape Universal Inline Window Handle ā€“ 43mm Spindle (Green Push Button, Non-Locking)Ensure compliance with UK Building Regulations for bedroom and habitable room fire escape windows. This premium white egress handle is purpose-built for casement windows with espagnolette (espag) mechanisms. The bright green push-button gives instant, tool-free full opening in an emergency ā€“ exactly what Approved Document B (Fire Safety) requires for designated escape routes.Why This Fire Escape Window Handle?UK fire safety rules (Approved Document B Volume 1: Dwellings) mandate that habitable rooms ā€“ especially bedrooms on the first floor or ground-floor rooms without direct hallway access ā€“ must have an escape window. The window must provide:
  • An unobstructed clear opening of at least 0.33 mĀ² (minimum 450 mm high Ɨ 450 mm wide).
  • The bottom of the openable area between 800 mm and 1,100 mm above finished floor level.
  • Easy, key-free operation so anyone can escape quickly without tools or special knowledge.
Your existing handle may look fine but could prevent full opening or create confusion in a panic. This inline fire escape handle with the green button solves that ā€“ itā€™s the same style fitted by window installers across the UK on egress-designated windows. (See the includedĀ  diagram showing approved vs non-approved bedroom window sizes.)Product Specifications
