Window comparison
I want to know. Just the facts please. I know it”s a personal choice between framed and frameless windows and there are many opinions and reasons for each. I want to know how the windows compare in the actual ventilation area.
I have frameless windows in my 5.0 TA. The kitchen window is 20” x 27” it opens 4”
4” X 27” = 108 Square inches
The sides taper from 4” to 0 at the top, making a triangle 4” x 20” tapering to 0
Put the two triangles together makes a square 4” x 20”
4” x 20” = 80 Square inches
Add those together 108 + 80 = 188 Square inches of actual open area.
The schreen inside measures 22 ˝ “ x 14 ˝ “ which would be 326 Square inches
What about someone with sliders. Measure your windows and see what we get.
I know there are variables. Such as framed when open are approximately ˝ the window , but the face of the slider is open. Maybe better in a breese? But ˝ the area
Frameless open at bottom and sides, face of window not open, but i think they might have more actual open area.
Let’s find out.

Another thing about windows to consider is the view.
Sliders have the metal frames in the middle obstructing the view
Frameless have a slightly more open view. But that's another discussion!
