    I guess. Over here its more common to have the screen on the interrior to make the screens easier to replace and/or clean. Here, it’s common for houses to have a 2nd or even 3rd floor so it’s not always easy to be able to access the screen from the outside.

      You can still have the screen on the inside with these tiltable windows…

          Oh there’s many options. My windows are tiltable, they have (electric) roller shutters and bug screens.

          Most of my screens roll up to the top (I have a little chain connected to the mechanism to roll it up and down), but I also have two doors whose screens’ mechanism works horizontally, with a spring, it locks closed with magnets, when you release it from the magnets it rolls open by itself. It’s even got a little cable-chain-like thing on the top and bottom to hold the screen, guide the movement and remove the gap.
          And it can be removed from its frame with a snap catch, if you need to have the maximum opening to move something large through the door.

          I have a removable screen with one of these windows. The window opens inwards, the screen basically clicks into the window frame from the inside and sits between the window itself and the frame. So the screen sits outside the window, but you can easily remove it from inside. You just open the window and pull the screen out of the window frame.

        I’m guessing that that is more annoying to operate. What is common here are casement windows which are operated with a hand crank so you dont have to remove the screen each time you need to open or close the window.

      I have screens on my 3rd floor windows. Mine are attached to the window frame with long thin velcro strips but I think there’s other systems as well.

          For american ones where you have a screen on the inside I have seen crank handles to push window out, or some have a tiny screen door in the screen you can open to reach the window latches, then close the tiny access door. It looks stupid, but it does work

            I think those are casement windows which are similar I think but not the same as tilt and turn windows.
