Yes, you can install windows that allow for easy cleaning and maintenance in an apartment building. Here are a few options:
1. Double-hung windows: These windows have two sashes, both of which can be easily opened and tilted inward for cleaning. They offer great ventilation and are a popular choice for apartments.
2. Casement windows: These windows have hinges on one side and open fully outward, allowing for easy access to the exterior glass surface for cleaning. They often come with removable screens for convenient maintenance.
3. Tilt and turn windows: These windows can be opened in two ways - either by swinging them inward or by tilting them at the top. The tilt position allows for easy cleaning, with the interior side accessible from inside the apartment.
4. Sliding windows: While not as easy to clean as the options above, sliding windows can still be maintained conveniently. Both sashes can usually be tilted inwards or removable panels allow access to the exterior surface.
Additionally, some windows come with features such as low-maintenance coatings that prevent dust and dirt buildup, making cleaning easier. When installing windows, ensure that they are easily accessible from both inside and outside the apartment to facilitate maintenance.
