Re: casement window adapter
I can see that the labourer had plans to screw the exhaust in around more than just two edges, but the brittle nature of the plastic wouldn't allow for it. as a result I felt that I should tape the edges to make it more secure (even though it had teeth the other end) and to distribute the pulling fo...

Re: casement window adapter
I bit the bullet and decided that I had to screw it in. Thinking ahead I got the labourer to drill holes around the edges of the perspex anyway, for a future time, luckily! I smacked those screws (yea, I'm the type of person who hammers screws) into the frame, I just don't think that much of my land...

Re: casement window adapter
...but then disaster struck, oh no, the tape wasn't strong enough! I had to use tape because I couldn't drill into the frame, it's rented accommodation and I didn't think it would be a good idea. What happened was after about half an hours use the tape heated up from the hot air hitting the outside ...

Re: casement window adapter
Next I fitted the top piece, very pleased to see that I could leave it in place and close my window at the same time. The segmented idea was a good one because I need a chair to reach that high, this was it's a lot less hassle when leaving the house. I'm on the ground floor, in London, not safe real...

Re: casement window adapter
The air conditioner came and so it was time to install. But first, to inspect the fitting of the exhaust to the perspex pane. At first I though that I picked too thick a plastic at 1cm, but when I unpacked the machine fro the box I saw the exhaust window pipe form the first time (as I had yet to unp...

Re: casement window adapter

Re: casement window adapter
Hi, I live in the UK and finally, this year round, have invested in a portable air-conditioner. I'm really looking forward to it as I loathe the heat. Thinking about a proper window mount I came across your efforts online and was quite taken. For you it may have been a nice personal project but it t...
