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.)
Slide… left and right. What.
Slide left to open, right to close. :) Except the round one.
It doesn’t make sense–windows are typically taller than they are wide, unless you’re seeing them on a monitor. Are they wide?
Bathroom as an example:
Okay, this actually does make logical sense. They are indeed a bit wide. It does look aesthetically pleasing.
I kind of like it.
I have both of those sliding styles in my house. Kitchen windows are all side sliding, and are as wide as all other vertical sliding windows in the house are tall.
Except the bathroom, that one is half as tall as the tall ones/half as wide as the wide ones, it slides vertically.
All vertical sliding windows have the opening at the bottom, all horizontal sliding windows have the opening on the right.
West coast, USA.
That is literally even weirder.
I also have windows that slide left/right. Specifically, the right side slides left to open, right to close. Two are “landscape,” one is “portrait” shaped. Then I have three sliding-glass doors, which work exactly the same way except for the latch, threshold, and the fact that the screen also slides. It may be relevant that it never snows here.
