Browse Forums Renovation + Home Improvement 1 Sep 26, 2021 1:03 pm I'm renovating a bathroom and am trying to find clarification of the rules around windows in terms of privacy. I'm not sure if I need to be looking at the council DCP or state regulations or the BCA. A) for a ground floor rear-facing bathroom window (over looks the garden with the boundary ~8m away) and B) for a ground floor side-facing bathroom window (~1m from the side boundary) 1) Does the window have to be translucent? e.g frosted / coloured glass, and where can I find the specification of what is acceptable? (For example, can I have a full height stained glass window and if so, how much non-coloured glass is allowed?) 2) Can the window open? e.g can I have a louvre window with frosted glass 3) Is there a minimum sill height for the window? Thank you for your help! You need to reference the manufactures installation guide, your supplier may have strengthened the base where it is not required to sit on a bed. 1 2314 ![]() 2 11909 Its the flashing and is normal. Some builders cover them up others just leave them handing. You can cover it up with an aluminium bracket or ask the builder. 7 12059 |
