European Window frames are heavy and sturdy, many times with thick wood or metal. The window is double paned, sometimes tripple Most window frames I’ve seen throughout Canada, USA and Mexico, are mostly flimsy aluminium frames that can warp super easily, most of the time with a single window pane in it
I can’t help but notice Phoenix in your username, you from the south? Because up north, you’d freeze with those kind of windows. Most here are wood or steel framed, and double paned.
As someone with nearly 30 years experience in various types of construction, I can say for a fact that this is objectively incorrect. There’s a trope about any kind of social media content that touches on a subject about which one has real expertise, don’t remember exactly how it goes, but anyhow, let’s just say that the ignorance in this thread is absolutely astonishing.
Go down to your local big box hardware store and try to find a single-pane window, for example. You can’t because nobody makes them. If you want a single-pane window you have to buy a sheet of glass and know how to install and glaze it yourself.

I still get frost on the inside of my double paned windows up here in the great white north. No joke, windows are engineered to hell here
Frost on the inside indicates it’s not properly sealed, as far as I seem to recall. But I’m no window expert (I use arch btw).
