Windows in a bedroom have to meet certain minimum egress requirements. The actual opening has to be a certain minimum area (currently 5.7 sq. ft. in my municipality), width (20 inches), height (24 inches), as well as some other requirements (not relevant here). Sill height must be low enough to the interior floor (44 inches). All these requirements affected my window replacement in Bedroom #3.The solution was as easy as choosing a 6040 glider to replace the old aluminum 6030. But I had to cut a lower sill. It helps to know the precise new window frame size so that cutting could be done strategically inside and out to minimize work and effort.
