Hi all, need your advice urgently.

Our contractor sourced sliding windows for us and installed it recently. To our horror, we realise that he has installed a 6 panels windows in our living room instead of 4. He had not asked for our preference and when I asked him if there is any decisions to make regarding windows, he say the designs are standard and no worries. I totally forgot that windows can have 6 panels n simply assume 4 panels like the rest of the bedrooms. Is it reasonable that we ask the contractor to change the windows to 4 panels?

But we are also mentally prepared that he's not going to change it for us FOC. So my next question is what's the pros of 6 panels vs 4 panels? We like 4 panels cos the windows look nicer when it's bigger. Sigh, hope to hear some comments here. Thanks in advance!

It's sliding windows right? So when it is fully opened, u get a bigger opening than a 4 panel sliding. Just that the track is thicker

Yes, its sliding windows... Our contractor came back and says he forgot to inform us that its 6 panels windows and he is ok to change it back to 4 panels for us if we dun like it. But I think we'll just stick to it since we get more wind from 6 panels. Thanks! =)
