Yah, thinking use back casement.

My parents house last time is use sliding. And when big wind during storm, the windows can rattle a bit. But maybe is old technology, maybe new sliding windows nowadays won’t rattle.

On youtube saw these :
1) Slide n pivot windows, i.e window can turn indoor , easy to clean the windows

2) Sliding n casement windows, can slide to 1 side n 180 degree turn, to allow more wind in n easy cleaning.

Get double glaze? for soundproof.

Mine is bto casement windows, my right window block the wind so sad :((

I not scared noise, mainly looking for sturdy lasting windows. Opposite no block, no apartment to see, but winds can be strong.

Flip open pattern mean casement?

Window can turn indoor sounds good, yah easier to clean. But scared not sturdy.

I want something strong, because my place wind very strong sometimes, kenna few times the casement windows slam close by the wind.

Go n read reviews n checkout their showroom.

Must ensure the rain water will drain out properly during heavy rain.

Mine is during strong wind will open my casement windown instead as didnt latch properly, rain wet my wall.

Get laminated windows for soundproof not double glazed but casement.

More heavy with 2 glass panes but means harder for wind to slam the windows shut.

Use sliding windows that can pivot indoors if no want wind to slam shut windows
