Unfortunately windows in the UK generally cant tilt, likely since opening them wasn't really meant to be common anyways (unfortunately climate change is making that more important)

i leave my window open like this every night, even in winter
Imagine not having screens on the windows and letting every single bug in the nearby area take up residence inside and being okay with it cuz "it's only a few months out of the year".
🤢 it's the fucking worst.
I have screens with my fancy European windows. Like there's no reason you can't have it with it.
What witchcraft is this? Did it cost more to install? Was it custom ordered? Plz explain.
It's just available in my local hardware store, just measure your window and buy the correct size. It was like 20 euros.
It has velcro strips that attack to the frame of the window with clue or something and the screen has the other end of those velcro straps so you can take it off for winter.
There were solid frame ones too but I like this so I can roll it up for winter and it was cheapest.
Honestly, I think the verti slide windows make for a better breeze infrastructure than the tilt windows , because the tilt windows can be force shut by sudden strong winds.
And in the summer when I need a strong breeze at night and have to fully open the windows, I have to hold them open with a chair or something because they will slam-shut in the middle of the night.
I complain a lot about silly american building stuff but in the case of breezes, I think the verti slide is superior.
Also, they're more adjustable. Euro windows can do tilt or open, but the vertical slide windows have a range.
Yeah, it may have a sliding range, but only for half the window. The top part just stays closed all the time. The euro windows can open fully. That, to me, makes all the difference.
That is a good point.
What about a double window, one EU and one US
Why would you post this while Americans are sleeping? These posts are clearly about flexing on the yanks.
How well do these work in strong winds? Wouldn’t they just turn your light breeze into a strong breeze?
