    Apparently a lot of them don’t have sliding windows with screens either. Maybe they’ll catch up on that one day.

        You only have two panes? Three panes is the way and the truth.

        I can tell the Europeans are on because they’re roleplaying that those are somehow better lol. Tilt windows make no sense over sliding windows if you’re looking at it objectively.

      I think some of those historical cities will prohibit that to maintain the architecture. What I have seen in some European apartments though are the floor model portable AC units. And they make these insulated fabric things that you velcro to the French windows and pain to create a insulated seal while keeping it partially open with the portable ac hose attached.

        It’s a lot simpler, easier, and less likely to break. Sliding windows work in all weather, and they naturally go with window screens really well which ideally it should have.

      Why would we adopt the vastly inferior American window design?

            Sliding windows don’t, if that’s the analogy you’re failing to make.

              You do realise ours tilt and open? Speaking of failed analogies.

                You tilt 90 degrees in this analogy, you just aren’t getting it. And yes, that sounds dumb because that’s the point.

                  Indeed. I wasn’t getting it because our windows actually have a tilt function, where you open it from the top, rotating on the bottom axis instead. I’m not familar with people calling the usual opening “titling” as well.

                  Anyway, our superiour German engineers did also figure out sliding windows especially for cars. But our houses usually don’t travel at high speeds, so the “tilting” of the winows isn’t a huge issue. I can understand this is different in the US where houses in states like Kansas often soar through the air at high speed. Different use cases I think.

                    It moves horizonal instead of tilting because it just makes more sense, speed has nothing to do with it… It’s a house bro, that makes no sense.

                    Also nice casual xenophobia, you say over your US invented internet.
