Unfortunately windows in the UK generally cant tilt, likely since opening them wasn’t really meant to be common anyways (unfortunately climate change is making that more important)

ordellrb ,

i leave my window open like this every night, even in winter

isthingoneventhis ,

Imagine not having screens on the windows and letting every single bug in the nearby area take up residence inside and being okay with it cuz “it’s only a few months out of the year”.

🤢 it’s the fucking worst.

FluffyPotato ,

I have screens with my fancy European windows. Like there’s no reason you can’t have it with it.

isthingoneventhis ,

What witchcraft is this? Did it cost more to install? Was it custom ordered? Plz explain.

FluffyPotato ,

It’s just available in my local hardware store, just measure your window and buy the correct size. It was like 20 euros.

It has velcro strips that attack to the frame of the window with clue or something and the screen has the other end of those velcro straps so you can take it off for winter.

There were solid frame ones too but I like this so I can roll it up for winter and it was cheapest.

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.

GiddyGap ,

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.

tootnbuns ,

That is a good point.

What about a double window, one EU and one US

Abnorc ,

Why would you post this while Americans are sleeping? These posts are clearly about flexing on the yanks.

dipshit ,

How well do these work in strong winds? Wouldn’t they just turn your light breeze into a strong breeze?

thorbot ,

Imagine being a European and having your head so far up your own ass you start to disappear

Smokeless7048 ,

I love EU windows, and i looked at them when i redid my windows recently… but i just couldn’t justify the increase i price.

Of course, my windows are horizontal sliders

intensely_human ,

Over here in the USA, we “tilt” our windows on a vertical access, minimizing the effort involved to friction. We call it “opening” the window, because ergonomically it’s identical to opening a door.

Obonga ,

Tilting you windows is a nice option that i rarely use. Most if the time its STOẞLÜFTEN as we germans like to say (opening the windows wide up to really let in all the fresh air).

Huschke ,

Is that not something that Americans do too? As far as I know the need for STOSSLÜFTEN is because we’re building our buildings so air tight, that there is little circulation.

Knightfox ,

Yeah, being able to open the window just slightly from a different angle doesn’t seem like that useful of a feature. Also in the US we mostly have a different style of window (see below).

It’s rare that I want to open a window, but only slightly open it. Normally it’s all the way open and I probably put box fan in the window to pull air through.

You’re correct that many houses these days are built too air tight, but for older houses that were built before AC the house was often designed so that you could open windows on different sides of the house to create a cross breeze. So for example, you could open up windows on the East and West side in the morning and the temperature difference should create a convection breeze through the house.

TheIllustrativeMan ,

many houses these days are built too air tight,

No such thing. You just have to make sure you use a proper ERV setup.

Knightfox ,

So what if they didn’t use a proper ERV setup?

Obonga ,

It is only useful if you have a bunch of stuff sitting in front of you window and you are able to tilt another window on the other side of the house but its really not that big of a deal.

RagingRobot ,

I don’t use windows. I prefer linux

sebsch ,

In a world without borders and walls there is no need for windows and gates.

Ethab83 ,

I wonder if you can tilt windows in Linux

bluewing ,

Probably Compiz could do that…

NegativeInf ,

23.9 degrees is optimal.

squidspinachfootball ,

Do I have an article for you: Linux is the only OS to support diagonal PC monitor mode — dev champions the case for 22-degree-rotation computing

Chadus_Maximus ,

Try not to talk about Linux on Lemmy challenge (impossible): failed.

p1mrx ,

Sorry Europeans, I can’t hear you over my HVAC system with abundant domestic methane reserves.

tpihkal ,

I wonder what it’s like not living in an air filtered, 70° F environment?

Kase ,

I prefer 70° C

My windows can tilt. Not in the same way, but you can either slide them up or tilt them in. And besides, is being able to tilt your windows really that great?

menemen , (edited )
@menemen@lemmy.world avatar

Yes

rottingleaf ,

Sliding windows may not be optimal for a hard continental climate.

For me it allows to not move anything on the sill while venting the room.

I can do the same thing with my double hung windows, just open the too

rottingleaf , (edited )

You’ll get ice on the sides, these can’t be sufficiently hermetic.

EDIT: With some -30 Celsius outside (EDIT:happened only once or twice in my lifetime, 20 would be something more real) and +15 inside, for example, and usual humidity for a living place, where people cook etc.

Still ,
@Still@programming.dev avatar

only time I’ve ever had ice build up on the inside of a window was when the window was end of life and the AC broke and it was -35 F

rottingleaf ,

What was the temperature inside (don’t think anybody remembers or even measures humidity)?

It seems common sense to me that on the sides of a sliding window there’ll be very thin gaps, while with a “normal” window there is pressure between parts at all sides.

But I can’t say I’ve seen many sliding windows in my life.

Still ,
@Still@programming.dev avatar

like 65 F, probably around 35% humidity

there’s a seal around the windows that slides up and down when you open it

rottingleaf ,

OK, maybe I’m wrong. I’m not very good at physics and easily believe what other people say, but since this thing is really uncommon here - I shouldn’t.
