Picked up a new customer who has two types of secondary glazing. First type (slides left to right/right to left) is easily popped out by lifting upwards slightly but the other type is more like a sash window style, sliding up and down to open. I couldn't see how these sash style panes are removed for cleaning as there is no obvious gap/recess to allow the pane to pop out. Anyone dealt with this second type before and how can the panes be removed?

Thanks.

With the type that slides up and down, sometimes they can be removed by pushing sideways and pulling the other side out.  However, I have also had some that are not removable.

Thanks for the reply.  I was thinking that it may not be removable. Any ideas on how to clean if not removable??

I would rather self-flagellate myself with barbed wire wrapped round a baseball bat than clean secondary double glazing.

There may be a way - but I just left them and lowered the bill.

That is bizarre!
How can you self-flegellate yourself?  Surely you either self-flegellate, or you flegellate yourself, you don't do both. I don't know, some people's grammar.

How can you spell self-flagellate incorrectly three times when it's already written correctly by the quoted poster? I don't know, some people's spelling.

Seems way too much hassle to me. Breakages springs to mind.

There is a type that seems impossible to take out.but older styles have a spacer down each side. That can be removed .

There was a grey looking rod that ran down both sides of the frame but didn't look like they could be removed.  The installation company is based where I live so may go see them or just leave them haha
