To let a breeze into your room, do your windows open out from the bottom or the top?
If your windows are stacked (upper and lower) which part opens and which part stays fixed?
(Germans with 3D windows don’t count. Lüften is a weird cultish ritual and you should all feel bad.)
I never understood the crank handle for floor level windows, still - pretty unique
If you need to operate them while it’s really windy they’re a lifesaver. I guess you could go for sliding windows to address the same problem, but I’ve had trouble with those.
They are good for that, but sometimes the little arm falls out of the track, then you have to remove the screen and put it back in. Always great during a torrential downpour… Not that I’d know from experience haha.
I’d love to see how some of those German window types would work here.
Wow, I’ve never experienced that one.
I’m glad. It’s just shitty installation by the people who put them in.
Most of the ones I’ve had that worked like that would lock up when you put the handle in the downwards position, so wind doesn’t cause the window to move around when it’s open.
