When Germans start feeling power, the world buys more weapons and ammunition.
I live in the UK and my parents got tilt and turn windows in the early 90s.
Still got them as well. Suckers last a long time.
They are barely 30 years old. How long do you thing windows are supposed to last?
What’s so special about this simple mechanism? Even 50 year old windows can do this here.
Its not special, but also not really common outside of Europe, at least thats what i heard
We use magic
Forget this gimmick, the real yuropean superiority is in proper blinds that are actually designed to block most light. For some reason they are extremely uncommon in north America
I just want something my cat can’t destroy, is that too much to ask?
European blinds solve this as well, they are made of plastic and are on the outside of the window, not inside
Huh? They aren’t in every European country
At least all countries I’ve been to have blinds on the outside. Germany and Netherlands have rolling shutters like these: https://www.rollorieper.de/images/rollladen/overview_rollladen_mobile.webp
Southern and Eastern european countries tend to have little doors on the outside like these: https://www.schneider-schoenwalde.de/fileadmin/\_processed\_/3/8/csm_moosgruene-fensterlaeden_d2513c37b0.webp which are made of wood or plastic
I have never been to poland, scandinavia or the baltics, but all countries I’ve been to have one way or another to completely block light and don’t let cats scratch the curtains
Same in Russia
Everyone have these in Europe. So good. Can someone please find the patent to figure out who is the best euro country?
Inventor was Wilhelm Frank, 1937, Stuttgart, Germany
I have these windows. Perhaps not coincidentally the house was made by a German. The windows were fabricated in Canada though. The technology is leaking.
