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

u should consider if u wana switch on the aircon often or not?..if yes...then 4ft should be ok.......and remember if window too big, and u open frequently,a lot of small flies will come in... smaller is better my opinion

Otherwise, it is more practical to have the "fixed" window on the top and bottom for the sake of security.
