| Disadvantages
- Limited ventilation as they open only partially.
- Can be difficult to clean outside if upstairs.
- Can be a nuisance in deck situation and footpaths, risk of head injury.
- Limited security as their operating mechanisms and security featres are easier accessable from the bottom.
- In case of emergency egress can be delayed due to limited opening. If security stays are fitted egress can even become impossible and put lives in serious danger.
