When we enclosed out side porch some 15 yrs ago (and turned it into a music room), Severn, wanting to please, OK-ed casement windows. American style. They're operated by a crank, and they open outwards. They're also single-pane (cold in winter, hot in summer) but, naturally, the only storm windows available were sash ones, so we don't have any, and the room is a freezer in winter and a frying pan in summer.> I used to do some hanging out on the upper floor with the sash ones, these casement ones open wide enough that you can reach through the gap and clean the other side so long as the window is not too wide. They are also double glazed with energy efficient glass and the seal is excellent when they are closed. (Anderson replacement windows). There I've given them a free plug. On the back upstairs we have very wide windows and we replaced with with sliders that you can lift out, similar to door wall windows. Haven't done that yet as who needs to clean windows too often, I prefer to spend my time designing and making lace. At least now putting the screens in takes a few seconds instead of an all day job.
