Hi,

I have noticed that nowadays, windows of the house normally have fix glass at the bottom or top..example 4' glass for open and 2' fix glass...

but my contractor suggest that do all 6' open because can let the air flow into the house much better...

in the design and trend view, which one better?

Anyone can help me?

Thanks

What type of house? Apartment? Terrace? Bungalow?

Is your house manned 24/7?
Otherwise, it is more practical to have the "fixed" window on the top and bottom for the sake of security.

my powder coated is white with 6mm green glass.

My exterior paint is Nippon exterior Wall Sealer + Nippon weatherbond brilliant white if i'm not mistaken the code is 1001.

Whether white, dark grey or black will match.
