I’m building a house in an area with a design wind speed of 125 mph. I had a window supplier tell me that I should seriously consider using casement windows. He said the wind would blow between the panes on sliders. How much truth is there to what he is saying and how much is a sales pitch for a higher grade of window? Thanks in advance.
