What is supposed to be good/bad? Stulp/mullion now has no influence on your concerns.

I would do without Stulp: what is that supposed to be good for?
You install a Stulp window when you have a patio door and the mullion is annoying.

The practical consideration of cleaning the fixed glazing cannot be denied.

Still, just as a thought: we have so many and unusually sized windows that we have to have a company come to clean them. It’s not that expensive if you don’t do it monthly. I wouldn’t have thought to design the beautiful house according to the cleaning possibilities of the windows.

BTT: Take the regular windows with a central mullion. They are, afaik, somewhat more common in manufacturing and therefore possibly slightly cheaper, a bit more stable in the frame construction, and – as mentioned above – the sashes can be tilted independently of each other.

Regards

I wouldn’t think of a double casement but only tilt. You then hang it out on the hinge for cleaning; it disturbs less above a desk than if you have to clear it for opening. For a secondary window, tilt-only should be completely sufficient. This way, even fall protection might be dispensable (but I’m not exactly familiar with the standards). Regarding the window widths, I tend not to "mix" dozens of different formats and lintel widths in one house. In this respect, I would also take a look at what other window formats are used in this house.

You have to weigh that carefully: although you don't need fall protection, cleaning can only be done by two people! We have a 70 x 150, and it is very heavy when detached.

We had windows with a mullion in the apartment and have now consciously decided on [Stulp] (to no longer have the annoying mullion). I would not want special solutions (only tilt?), I would take completely normal windows. Just with or without [Stulp].

I meant: leave the bottom normally hung and unhook the scissor at the top to switch from tilt opening to full opening.



A mullion or a central mullion is practically an optical difference of a few centimeters of frame width in the middle. Landscape format looks more deliberately consistent to me if you don't divide it in width. Tilt-only is not a special solution: it is the same window with a somewhat cheaper opening mechanism, nothing more. Only unlike the fixed element, it is suitable for exterior cleaning without scaffolding.

"Normal" tilt-turn costs (a bit) more, while I wouldn't take pure turn; at the intended height it "sweeps" a table in front of it.
