Hello everyone,
on one side of the house, two openings (windows) are planned, each measuring 1.8 x 2.35 m (6 x 7.7 ft), spaced about 3 m (10 ft) apart.
One of them needs to function as a patio door, so it will likely be a tilt-and-turn type. The other opening does not need to be operable for practical reasons, so we were initially considering a fixed glazing there. However, we were told that fixed glazing looks noticeably different from tilt-and-turn windows due to its slimmer frame. Since the two windows are relatively close together, this might cause a visual mismatch.
What do you think? Would the cost savings of fixed glazing justify this difference?
