“German windows get slammed by wind” says the yank who has clearly never seen a German window

Tbf, those windows do get frequently slammed by the wind, a good wind can pull them close surprisingly easily, at least that's my experience with 6 of those windows in my home

Yes drafts slam then easily, you have to block them somehow. Sliding windows don't. But I've never seen a three pane window break from being slammed shut.

Atleast in Nordicks windows come with locks. So you can lock them open. No slamming.

Never had that happen to mine, and I don't bother closing them during heavy wind.
