Hello. I'm hoping folks may be able to help me. We are designing a new center hall colonial and have some NYC egress window requirements to deal with for each of the front bedrooms. Each bedroom has to have a 30" wide window for egress (yielding 24" of net clear opening after factoring out the frame) to comply with NYC code. We don't want to go with two 30" wide casement windows.So we decided to go with 3 windows: 24" inch flank windows with a 36" inch window in the middle, each an operable casement with grids. A palladian window will sit on top of the middle 36" window. We are worried that the grid sizing for the middle window may be noticeably different from the flank windows as the windows are different sizing. Andersen rep says the horizontal grills will line up perfectly obviously, but the vertical ones may create a slight difference in each pane's width, probably undetectable from street level. Rep said if we are worried we can either eliminate grills from middle window or eliminate grills from all windows. Anyone have experience with this? are we worrying about minutaie here? tx much
