I discovered these windows in Netherlands and Germany. I love it. Blew my mind.
I'm confused as well. How do you open windows in non-Europe?
Generally, like this:
The two middle ones are the most common I see. I have one casement window in my house, but it just opens in one way, like in this image.
In france, we call the second one "guillotine"
Never once in my life seen those anywhere in Europe.
I saw something akin to the second one in Spain, they don't have a good reputation for holding against cold there
Bah, the Spaniards are easily invaded, it's the Russians we need to worry about!
Canadian here, the most common I see is sliding horizontally. Our house has horizontal as well.
Also Canadian, I've had horizontal sliding, single hung, and casement with that turning mechanism to open/close them. And I remember seeing windows that were hinged at the top and pushed outwards in high school. Not sure what held them open though.
