As for your remark about guns, it looks like you don't know much about the U.S. I suggest that you learn about our constitution and why its writers included a guarantee that we can own weapons.

To be honest even as an European I always considered these windows awesome as well.

Here in North America, our windows are constructed of the highest quality extruded vinyl. The deluxe models open to full 25% of their surface area and even though they don't allow much fresh air flow in the summer, they have a tremendous cooling effect in the winter. If properly cared for the plastic latches and hardware can last months.

+Je t'aime I love mine, I crack open the top when it's a windy day so I get fresh air but no gale force winds knocking everything over in my room (works nice on rainy days aswell) and I open it fully when it's clear outside. I also open the top at night. I find it pretty useful.

I remember the first time I encountered windows like these in Norway.. Around 1994 I think. Back then there were 2 levers, one on each side of the frame, and you had to turn one to swing the window out and both to tilt the window. When the window was swung open, you could turn the other lever and the whole thing would release and a 10 year old me suddenly had a really difficult task of trying to fit it back before anyone noticed...

I need these windows! Great video!

There is a third function in most of the windows of that style, where you put the handle in between tilt and open positions. It allows for a small amount of air to pass while the window seems to be shut.

In PL it's standard. Never think it is special order elsewhere. :P

wow, I've never wanted a window so badly before

I live in Austria and I couldn't imagine having my windows any different ;O Yes, many facilities and furniture in the US are anything but practical to use in my opinion^^

I saw this so over Switzerland too. I wonder who makes them and when that started. In Switzerland, the doors lift easily off the hinge pegs, and are larger than the door hole they fit onto.

European here. He's doing it wrong because everytime you switch between horizonal and vertical mode you need to put the handle into the default position to avoid screwing the whole system. I remember my friend who did this way all the time so his window just stuck between two positions and nobody could've fixed it.

+zatranslate It's a German mechanism, which has become popular in 1990s in Europe and 2000s elsewhere. In America most windows are either classic( where two halves sway open) or a British classic( bottom half moves vertically). So, they are not so common on that side of the ocean, no. BTW. The production of plastic windows moved out of the Germany and they themselves make mostly wood windows with 3 stage mechanisms. Plastic windows are considered poor mans choice and, you know, environment and stuff.
