This is most of Europe actually

They are called "casement" windows, specifically turn/tilt operation, and they do exist in the USA. They are typically more expensive than vinyl double hung, and home builders tend to shy away from anything "different" that might scare away home buyers. That's why you don't see them very often.

But if you want them, you can buy them and have them installed. You can even get them in patio door sizes, but the larger the door, the heavier it is when it tilts.

It's really common for people unfamiliar with the door function to lift the handle and think it's locked, and then a strong breeze blows the door inward. Between the noise and seeing the door falling inward, it can be pretty scary.

Source: I worked in construction in the US with European builders who loved these things and couldn't figure out why Americans didn't.

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

Germans literally never think about this unless when travelling abroad.

Brit here, all the windows in my flat have this system.

Everyone have these in Europe. So good. Can someone please find the patent to figure out who is the best euro country?

You forgot the one where the window is fixated just in one lower corner and it looks so vulnerable and creepy at the same time

This isn't even counting the metal window shades. I miss those things so much. Absolute dark.

Now put some screens in them.

Love those windows. Thought about trying to get some in the US and omg they are expensive here because they’re uncommon.

What's so special about this simple mechanism? Even 50 year old windows can do this here.

Wait until they find out our windows have a 4th setting as well 😎

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.

We use magic

I really liked those windows when I was visiting Europe.

And stoßlüft everyday at least twice. We love fresh air!

Please tell me you guys know about double (or now triple) glazing? right?

These are EVERYWHERE in Romania

Have these windows in an apartment in Ukraine

Bastards. Use our technology.

I discovered these windows in Netherlands and Germany. I love it. Blew my mind.

The technology is a society that is able and willing to pay a bit more for lasting, practical quality.

Where are you from OP? It pretty standard in France as well and some people here call it "open the window italien-style".

Love those windows when travelling, but I have yet to see windows that open to the inside here in Ireland. Not sure whether it's one of those crazy building regulations like no power switch or outlet inside the bathroom or auto-closing inner doors to each room.
