So easy to clean and they still act like regular windows when I want to open them for fresh air. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/windows-that-flip-out#post-2086584 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 11:46:23 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2086584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Exactly! I'm so tired of mosquito bites during the summer! It looks like we'll have to rig something up since having them installed professionally would be out of the question :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/windows-that-flip-out#post-2086314 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 09:39:59 +0000 looch 2086314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: yes, window screens, you mean? I never understood why they didn't have them, I made my husband install nets in our rental...there were not a lot of bugs, but enough that I would wake up with bites if we slept with the windows open! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/windows-that-flip-out#post-2086310 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 09:38:09 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2086310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Yeh, the company's supposed to be the best, but that's why we need to more estimates! My mosquito net dreams are shattered! It's apparently worth a fortune to have them in &lt;side-eye&gt;! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/windows-that-flip-out#post-2086291 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 09:30:44 +0000 looch 2086291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: I think you're fine, they're manufactured in the country you live in, they have years of experience, you know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/windows-that-flip-out#post-2086289 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 09:28:42 +0000 mrs. bird 2086289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have the same as @Mamaof2: &amp; love the ability to clean the outside </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/windows-that-flip-out#post-2086258 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 09:09:50 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2086258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: We stayed in an apartment in Germany with the same type of windows you described. I could not get them to open properly! These are not as complicated, however it only opens from the bottom up. </p> <p>@ElbieKay: You've got me thinking about cross breeze.

It's useful where we live because we get a lot of rain during the summer months. Your windows look a lot sturdier than the ones I posted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/windows-that-flip-out#post-2086243 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 09:03:51 +0000 looch 2086243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: I feel like I've seen that kind of window before, but oriented where they open at the top...they have a handle that you turn one way to lock, midway to open at the top, tilting inward, the other way to open like a door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/windows-that-flip-out#post-2086176 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 08:31:13 +0000 Mamaof2 2086176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: yes I love that feature!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/windows-that-flip-out#post-2086175 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 08:29:01 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2086175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: we have the same kind of windows and love them. </p> <p>There's a safety feature on ours that allows the bottom window to open about 2", too, so I always have that flipped open in case my toddler figures out how to open the windows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/windows-that-flip-out#post-2086155 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 07:54:41 +0000 Mamaof2 2086155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never seen that kind of window - that's how they open for air flow too?</p> <p>We have double hung - so they open like normal windows but flip for easy cleaning - I love them </p> [attach=4342/15/nkdqj5.454x600.las-double-hung-window-operable-sashes.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/windows-that-flip-out#post-2086153 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 07:51:12 +0000 Bao 2086153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: oooooh! I'm sorry I thought you meant that flip out to clean not to have open. We have windows that slide up, slide down, or the top sash flips out or bottom sash flips in/out so you can clean them. I misunderstood :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/windows-that-flip-out#post-2086106 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 06:01:24 +0000 ElbieKay 2086106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would worry about less air flow. It doesn't look like it would allow for much cross breeze. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/windows-that-flip-out#post-2086083 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 02:46:52 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2086083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Do they seem sturdier than normal windows that open out? I'm a little worried about long-term durability. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/windows-that-flip-out#post-2086082 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 02:44:49 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2086082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had our first in-home consultation yesterday and apparently, these types of windows aren't so much more than the normal ones that open out (due to the amount of hardware required to hold up heavy windows and the ones that open from the bottom require less hardware because of the base, or whatever). But I'm still worried about how sturdy they are because I've never actually seen one in a house before!</p> <p>So if anyone else has a vertically opening window that flips over 180° for easy cleaning, I want to hear from you :happy: I'm specifically interested in the hinges and any problems with it over time.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>[attach=1448/15/nkdc6p.249x275.ultimat_vrid_249x275px.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=1448/15/nkdc6q.249x275.213.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/windows-that-flip-out#post-2082147 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 16:17:50 +0000 Bao 2082147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: ours do!

Are they worth it? Did you find any disadvantages to having them? </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
