Victorian Type Sash Windows.

[bee_man]

What's the general way of doing a sash window with wired sensors please?. Wireless was easy, one part of the sensor on each horizontal across the middle. I'm presuming it's going to need two sensors, but how to get wires out or stop one magnet hitting the other sash is puzzling my old brain a bit. Is there a 'standard' method please?. I know I could use a PIR but I'd rather stop them getting in in the first place. Are glass break detectors a reliable option?.

 

Thanks,

would potted cmc in frame & magnet in sash be do able ?

Good idea. It would have to be the top and bottom frame as the sides have sash weights moving up and down, but that's ok. Thanks!

As above.

FMC in Top and Bottom with magnets in sashes.

Although, technically this could be classed as "open out" as no protection for the mags.

So Surface mags for them then !!!  Seriously, who wants to see surface on those!!

Go for the flush.

As above, just make sure you put a bit of silicon over the bottom contact and screws, I've seen lots of them corroded as water gets in.

As I said "unprotected".  In more than one meaning.

 

You mentioned something most would miss. Top man.

Use a sealed flush imo, im not a fan of whacking silicone into stuff
