      I’m in the US and have these windows. They have screens. They’re also not that special. I prefer the regular windows

        I was starting to wonder if Europe didn’t have insects, because the hotels I’ve stayed in (in Europe) that had them didn’t have screens for them.

          We have civilized insects, they respect our privacy and don’t enter unless they must.

            You’re joking but that’s basically it, it’s just not an issue in most places.

        I have these windows in Moscow, Russia since recently (had old windows with separate wooden frames with thick glass made somewhere about 70s, they looked nice though) and like that I can use the sill as a table with laptop and tea and some stuff now, and tilt it instead of moving the laptop aside.

          Ah yes, the good old Russian anti-defenestration windows. I assume you have the FSB-mandated variant that is capable of both tilting and swinging, for… ease of access?

            My brain had a segfault reading your comment, because the approved ones would obviously not be “anti-defenestration”, but yeah, swinging is nice

              Yeah, sorry, my dark sense of humour didn’t combine very well with typing it out before my first cup of coffee.
