Americans are asleep, post European windows

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.
