Heres why up and down windows are better for countries like poland. Gives you the option to purchase inexpensive window air conditioning units instead of a whole aie conditioning system.
I prefer double hung/sash windows. They don’t take up any space when they are open and they are great for ventilation. I also prefer their aesthetic. BTW, they are not just American windows. They are popular in the US, Australia and New Zealand. They were invented in Europe and date back to the 1600s. Double hung windows are referred to as either Dutch or English windows, but are thought to have originated in France or Holland during the 17th century, which is when they made their way to the UK. There are also triple and quadruple hung sashes for very tall windows.
In Spain, the mesh is almost mandatory and usually it's a permanent one, unlike others are saying it's like in their own countries. They're attached to the window and you can roll them up or down like a curtain, they're installed with a mechanism to do this.
Same, but for the reason of having the option to install a window ac unit in my bedroom instead of messing around with the portable ones with the janky hose.
The up down are like really old English windows. My dads old place in central London(before he got done by the tax man) had windows like this on the 1st floor up
How do they use a window fan or ac with the "European" type windows? Also, the so-called "American" windows not only slide up & slide down but the top window gets opened an inch or so, then slides down, then folds down towards you so that you can clean the exterior off the window whilst inside your home; the bottom one does the same thing.
Yes. When I was in America for the summer this was very intetesting for me. Also other different things. But the most I liked the people there. It was a very pleasant surprise. I was in New Hampshire. Very beautiful 🙂
Did you know that most countries in europe banned the insect screen due to the damage to the insects no longer being able to cross their memorized routes when you buimd a new building?
There are some other really cool windows we have here in the states that use a crank and open outward outside and have a screen on the inside. Always loved them, but you don't see tbem too often these days
The small window you can’t open (or afford) in America is to keep you from jumping out 4 stories head first after your slave job shift at a job you hate after commuting 60 miles each way. 🇺🇸
True I’ve seen a few windows in the USA like this but it’s probably just not as common in the USA i don’t think the girl is really a expert on windows so it’s not really fair to expect her to know what every house in America has
I built those European windows in the US back in the 80s. A much higher quality product, and all around better unit, but it was PVC, and people were afraid of PLASTIC!! They folded operations in Tacoma and somebody in Oregon took over.
The screens are so that insects don't go into your home uninvited when you leave the windows open and basically serves the same purpose as an AR-15 for home defense.
the standard is different but they're sometimes built the same way. there's a growing trend of passive houses which use wood framing and thick insulation to get great performance and they're starting to get really popular in Europe and North America and by code those homes require tilt and turn windows with 3 panes of glass. we're also currently in a major energy code transformation which is requiring tilt and turn windows on every new building.
Europeans have window screens as well, it's just that they usually don't come pre-installed with the windows here, so you have to buy them yourself when you move into a place
Y'all so far behind in house designs. Americans will pay 2 mil for a house that looks 40 years old in an average neighbourhood. Here in Australia we have modern houses with modern materials that you can buy for around 600-900k (with property btw)
Yeah, leave it to a woman to explain windows. Nobody's special, all those windows are available literally everywhere! Here in the US I installed windows that were made here in the US, Italian ones, German, British, Spanish, Greek, Belgian etc. In fact, I just installed a bunch of Morelli (Italy) doors and windows in a house last week. A few months back I did a house with Neuffer (Germany). I can tell you that yes, the glass ratings are higher for some of the European windows, but the US made ones are just as good in practice. After years of doing this I still don't understand why some people choose to pay three times more for some imported windows. The only difference I noticed was in the design. Some people pay hundreds of thousands of dollars just to get some ginormous windows from Germany or Spain, they wait 8 months to a year to get them and they are nothing special compared to the ones made in the US. But whatever, it's their money and I'm happy to take it from them.
Clearly American thinking You need some fresh air, for example while ac is one, you don't want to create draft and who in the right mind would like to have fully opened windows at all times? That's screaming: "here rob me!"
That’s true. I was at a hotel in Munich and there were some people having a loud argument on the street below (I don’t speak German very well, but from what I got, it was something about their relationship). This was at about 2 in the morning. I had just flown into Frankfurt from Chicago and then driven to Munich, so I was dead tired. That combined with the fact that they were chain smoking set me over the edge, so I filled up a waste bin with water and tried to open the window so I could dump it on them. It only opened like that, which was not ideal, but I decided to go for it. I dumped the bucket down, but because the window was slanted, it ended up splashing down right in front of them, along with the bin, which I dropped. Fortunately, that was enough to get them to move on, so mission accomplished.
It's not any different as long as double pane or triple pane is being used. The inner gas functions just the same. Where are you people staying at when you visit America? New homes are at least double pane. My in-laws did buy a $800k home with 3000+ sq ft, and the first owners who had it designed cheapened out by not using insulation in the inner walls, but the exterior walls had it. Most new homes are definitely sound proof. Old homes can totally be remodeled easily.
@@NormieNekoI actually manufacture both windows! And while yes you could get kinda the same glass package on both styles, the European design allows you to go up to 1”-1/2 of insulated glazing space while our American design rarely if ever goes beyond an 1” thickness, 90% of the American windows are 3/4” space while 90% of the European windows are over 1” with thicker glass packages.

didn't she say the net comes preinstalled? i am in europe and i have nets on the "european" windows.
woman brain works slow
@@sheepriderkiller1181 same lol american out there again thinking they invented everything and are superior in every level
I've been living all the time in North America and didn't even knew about it. Thank you video.
Europe apparently doesn't have flies, because they don't have screens on their windows.
It's called "mosquito net" here and you just snap it onto the window frame.
Flies come into houses because people leave the back yard door open all the time
Europeans have window screens as well, it's just that they usually don't come pre-installed with the windows here, so you have to buy them yourself when you move into a place
In Mexico only old buildings have european windows, the average building has a North American window, I never realised it until I watched this video.
As a European, I've always liked the American type.
The technology went all for weapons 😂
The vent is a good idea for a place that doesn’t have A/C to have a draft to keep air moving.
I'm scared of guillotine windows
There’s one more position of the handle in the European windows which is 45deg. Window is in micro-ventilation mode with this setting. 👌🏻
Not to mention the 2 extra settings on the internal part of the frame (winter/summer).
In europe we have roller shuters
Hey! How do you wash sliding windows from the outside... or do you?😁
You win this round, Europe!
Casement works better in SW part of the US with retractable screens
Euro windows come with screens too
Y'all so far behind in house designs. Americans will pay 2 mil for a house that looks 40 years old in an average neighbourhood. Here in Australia we have modern houses with modern materials that you can buy for around 600-900k (with property btw)
Yep USA is damn shit hole
Yeah, leave it to a woman to explain windows. Nobody's special, all those windows are available literally everywhere! Here in the US I installed windows that were made here in the US, Italian ones, German, British, Spanish, Greek, Belgian etc. In fact, I just installed a bunch of Morelli (Italy) doors and windows in a house last week. A few months back I did a house with Neuffer (Germany). I can tell you that yes, the glass ratings are higher for some of the European windows, but the US made ones are just as good in practice. After years of doing this I still don't understand why some people choose to pay three times more for some imported windows. The only difference I noticed was in the design.
Some people pay hundreds of thousands of dollars just to get some ginormous windows from Germany or Spain, they wait 8 months to a year to get them and they are nothing special compared to the ones made in the US. But whatever, it's their money and I'm happy to take it from them.
I live in America and I don't think I have ever seen the American windows you showed in YEARS.
I've always wondered why we don't have such windows and steel shades.
Who the hell would want a window to open from the top like that
Clearly American thinking
You need some fresh air, for example while ac is one, you don't want to create draft and who in the right mind would like to have fully opened windows at all times?
That's screaming: "here rob me!"
@@OverlyamplifiedAmerican windows also can open from the top and lock at a short distance
@@gamesgeargadgets Oh, that's cool
Oh that’s for … yeah idk even though I’m European
Average US citizen.
My school had European windows so i was shocked to find out not of America schools have them
you can have those windows anywhere
Why are North American windows like that?
Why haven’t you landed on the moon yet?
that bug screen is a must
I'd like a mix between the two. Large swinging windows with more easily removable nets, for those extra nice days
I can brok in to American windows and doors with a spon
No you can't. Those have locks too.
You should watch "Death Wish 3."
That’s true. I was at a hotel in Munich and there were some people having a loud argument on the street below (I don’t speak German very well, but from what I got, it was something about their relationship). This was at about 2 in the morning. I had just flown into Frankfurt from Chicago and then driven to Munich, so I was dead tired. That combined with the fact that they were chain smoking set me over the edge, so I filled up a waste bin with water and tried to open the window so I could dump it on them. It only opened like that, which was not ideal, but I decided to go for it. I dumped the bucket down, but because the window was slanted, it ended up splashing down right in front of them, along with the bin, which I dropped. Fortunately, that was enough to get them to move on, so mission accomplished.
Y a tí te parece bien tirar basura a la calle? Menudo asco!!!
In my home I have the European windows, but there is a way to add the mesh so I have added it on some windows.
We can open the windows without bugs coming in. Take that Europeans!
European window better more sound proofing 🙂👍
Why you think so? Both types of windows can be made with the same technology, but different opening mechanism.
But can't you escape easier in American windows just in case?!
It's not any different as long as double pane or triple pane is being used. The inner gas functions just the same. Where are you people staying at when you visit America? New homes are at least double pane. My in-laws did buy a $800k home with 3000+ sq ft, and the first owners who had it designed cheapened out by not using insulation in the inner walls, but the exterior walls had it. Most new homes are definitely sound proof. Old homes can totally be remodeled easily.
@@NormieNekoI actually manufacture both windows! And while yes you could get kinda the same glass package on both styles, the European design allows you to go up to 1”-1/2 of insulated glazing space while our American design rarely if ever goes beyond an 1” thickness, 90% of the American windows are 3/4” space while 90% of the European windows are over 1” with thicker glass packages.
Europeans are not allowed to look out windows. It might offend some fringe group.
Ahaha as if the screen is special 😂 mine had a screen like 30 years ago already
True
And if you own it, you can change it.
