Handle position on the window not centered - defect?

"We now have a ventilation system and it is finally being USED!"

And the handles, they are also being used.

Our handles are not centered, but not that low either. However, we really planned to be barrier-free.

I agree that it is not a defect. Handles are installed, position was never discussed. I assume ... has no legal relevance.
Very annoying and maybe you’ll get used to it.

Thank you very much first of all for the numerous responses. I would briefly summarize this for myself based on the contributions as follows:

[*]no structural defect in the legal sense (at most a cosmetic one) [*]a prior clarification would have been desirable [*](probably) one will get used to it and it may even offer advantages later

Thank you for your summary. To the point. :cool:

How can something be a visual defect that is installed in 90% of single-family houses like that? I don't understand that :).

Pearls before swine :-(

I have to admit, I am speechless. How can a customer even feel deceived by a window manufacturer who does not swim along in the mainstream of ergonomic thoughtlessness? Thinking along as a defect?! Are you serious?! How can anyone seriously complain "he should have at least informed us that he is not doing it just as wrong as the others"?

No, a defect – I say this also as a former window manufacturer and later window dealer – it clearly is not, but even the opposite. Unfortunately, many customers are so thoughtless or prefer the "because it's always been that way" or the "like everybody else has it," which is why the market is dominated by the two variants "middle" and "I don't care" forming an oligopoly. If I were to run this window manufacturer, I would develop thinking along as a trademark and not offer any "classic" variant at all. By the way: the Swedes find it just as quirky that we open our windows inward as we find it that the English drive on the left side. A defect – relatively yes, drive on the right in England once, then it crashes!

If I had to run this window manufacturer, I would develop proactive thinking into a trademark

For this part, an explicit "bravo!" I didn't understand the rest well enough for a "like".
