this is not a German thing. they exist outside of Europe, let alone Germany, as pretty much standard. I’m actually surprised if Americans don’t have to this. although I think shouldn’t be, considering in how many ways it’s such an ass backwards country.

these are far from standard for Americans. they’re luxury for sure and they’re called German windows.

From where I am from, they are called Plastic Windows. Seems to be they were indeed either created or made popular by Germans.

this is funny, because I’m pretty sure most sold in Germany are made in Poland
