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?

The spirit of invention knows no bounds @Saruss
Yes, because in our case there is a depth of 1.5m (5 feet) in front of the window...

In my opinion, burglary protection is key. If everything is fixed glazing except for one window, it’s simply easier and more cost-effective to secure that single opening than if all windows can be opened. You don’t need more than one door (within a few meters) to access the garden anyway...
The issue with having doors or windows open in opposing directions is definitely an argument against frameless fixed glazing, which I have also unfortunately experienced firsthand.
