  Nothing prevents one from installing a screen on those windows.

    I guess. Over here its more common to have the screen on the interrior to make it easier to clean.

      I have screens on my 3rd floor windows. Mine are attached to the window frame with little velcro strips but I think there’s other systems as well.

        Do you need to remove the screen if you want to open the window?

        Mine have hinges that open, you can remove them by pushing up to remove from the hinges. My parents have one with magnets, but i don’t recommend it. The magnets get rusty, and they aren’t that well attached, some screens fell and broke with stronger wind.

      You can still have the screen on the inside with these tiltable windows…

        I cant see how without needing to remove the screen each time. I probably need to see a picture.

      Just get a detachable screen? We had them at my family home?

        I’m guessing that that is more annoying to operate. What is common here are casement windows which are operated with a hand crank so you dont have to remove the screen each time you need to open or close the window.

    Did some quick research. It seems pretty difficult to install screens on these for some reason. So that’s probably why these are not common where I live.

      Weird research you did there, we have screens, even different types and they take 5 min to install. Hardest part is cutting it to size.

  I thought these were doors. Them being windows makes a lot more sense.

    Balcony doors work the exact same way
