Can you use these in windows that open from side to side, rather than up and down? The windows are 32" tall.

Yes, that's how I use these. a large window with 2 sides open from side-to-side. I placed these screens in front of the existing screens. this is to avoid my cat from ruining the existing screens. the width fit my particular window and I opened up the screen as far as it goes. I then taped a small piece of cardboard into the section where both pieces meet. It stays in place, has not fallen down. it's in the outside channel, so I can still open and close the window, if needed. Another brand, more expensive, comes with white instead of wood trim. i intend on painting the wood on mine, so it blends in with my window that faces the front street.

I don't think so, the expandable width panels are not strong, only meant to cover space left in window. Not study unless you built a frame for support, even then they might not stay extended. Hope this helps

These are at my vacation home so I can't try, but they are flimsy so I would think they would not work well.
1708941
No they won't. First wouldn't fill the window & I'm don't think that the slide sections would stay put.

You could only open your window to 15" and it must open that wide to inset. Also you would likely need to use a light prop rod to hold the screen up vertical. They could be used...beats the price of a custom screen or kit & so far mine have been rolling around stuck to the outside of my rv for 7,500 miles & 5 months...still look good even!

I use mine to exhaust hot air from inside, the problem wound be above their high, unless you have scenes and then it's not a problem. Hope this helps, good luck..I love mine!

I don't see how the windows would make any difference. They cannot be adjusted from inside the vehicle. An adjustment requires a screwdriver.

Yes. I think that is what it is specifically designed for. You just put it on the track above the lower window the distance you want the window open.

Yup. They don't touch the windows, so you can open windows with them in. This was the whole reason i got mine.The only issue is the speed you're going. I wouldn't open the window if you were going over 100 km/hr, because they can fall out of the holders (and potentially go out the window). I think the instructions said to not open the windows going over 130, but I found I started to have issues at 100

Yes, I had mine done in less than 5". Instruction are basically the same for either type of sliding window. UPDATED 5/11/2015: This will work in a casement/crank-style window with a little ingenuity, please see my review on how others have fixed this problem.

I don't see any reason the window needs to be 32 inches high.If it has the minimum 20 inches wide. It will work just fine.

If they are used vertically, the answer is yes. If they are horizontal I have been reluctant to use them as I am not comfortable they will work well.

It depends on the height of the window. The window kit did not help in my case. The lip was not long enough the buldge right after the short lip made it unusable even for an up and down window because of the window ledge so for a side window you will definitely have the same issue. When I try to use it it was so awkward it kept popping out. I had to build some contraption to make useable even then I still have issues.

I have double hung windows as well and this device should fit into yours. It actually fits into the track on which the windows slide up and down essentially blocking my son from being able to life the bottom window too high. Unless your track is too thin or too wide then I suppose they won't fit but I suppose that there is some standardization in the industry.

Minimally, the opening this window fits into must be 32" x 14". It appears you might be OK on the long side, but you seem to lack 1" on the short side.

I am not certain if they can be adjusted for your preference, but on mine the left and middle panels open from the left side; the right-sided panel opens from the right.

That is not the way that I have it but do not see any reason why not. the shutters are not that heavy to open and the force of the fan should be able to open them up even when the unit would be upward.

Hello Richard, I had to Google some pictures of the windows in question :-) These wedges will work with any window that slides up/down or side to side. The trick is, the make sure you clean/dry the surface before you stick the Velcro on the window. Also make sure the wedge is affixed securely to the Velcro. I have two on each window downstairs (split level house) and they hold well. I truly believe that these wedges will give you extra time if an intruder tries to get into your home. Hope this helps.

If you remove the wedge (I used 2 per window) then you can open the window BC the velco does NOT impede the window from being raised up.

No. These are designed to open in both directions and then self close to center.

Yes, it shouldn't be a problem to use this unit in a window that's 24.25 wide, that's a side to side opening. I just measured mine, the actually unit is only 23 1/4 inches wide total on the inside and even less on the outside, that is without the side panels. If your window opening is 24.25, it would be a tight fit, which sounds almost ideal to me.

They will not extend that far, my window is 31-32" and they will extend maybe another inch on each side, but definitely not 39". They might sell extenders though. Hope this helps. Its a great machine though!
