Yeah, opening them is a mini workout. I keep telling myself it’s “functional fitness.”

Haha, that’s exactly how I felt after swapping mine out last fall—my arms have never been so toned just from airing out the kitchen. Honestly, though, I’ll trade a little effort for not having to stuff towels in the window sills every winter. The outside noise reduction was a surprise win for me too; my neighbor’s leaf blower used to sound like it was in my living room.

Curious—did anyone else have to mess with adjusting the frames after install? Mine were just a hair off and it took some shimming to get that “tight fit” without making them impossible to open.
