Original question by @tetris11@lemmy.ml
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 do enjoy making people who don’t know about these windows have that momentarily freakout when they use option 1.
Mine all slide, they don’t swing. Either up/down or left/right
Slide left/right, but I do have one window that does not open at all.
That’s actually a really neat window lol, I kinda want one now xD
But are you sure it doesn’t open? Maybe you need to hold a crystal to it at the right time of day so that sunlight gets focused by it and opens a secret portal to another better timeline!
48" (122cm) diameter so anything is possible! :)
That’s pretty!
Kind of why we bought the house. :)
Up, or down.
I have sash windows, but I do love me some side-open crank windows.
Slide up down, flip a latch and it tilts, flip a different latch and it swings open.
All of mine are casement windows. The taller ones hinge open to one side and the shorter ones hinge open from the bottom.
Mine are unusual, in America anyway. The bottom slides up, typical. You can also tilt the bottom inwards from the top. Being that this is a Habitat home, the windows are also energy efficient. They’re cheap with doorknobs and faucets, but they go well over code on insulation and structure.
Mine are the same but the top tilts inwards from the bottom
Front of the house inwards, back of the house outwards except for upstairs, there it’s always inwards. Same with doors. Back door outwards, front door inwards.
You are missing the most important question:
- Do you windows open toward inside or outside ?
