Most modern windows are made with aluminum or vinyl, so there is less chance of the window frame being painted shut or the wood swelling to the point that the windows are not operable. For homes with multiple stories, being able to get out of the house through a second-floor window may be the only option if there is a fire on the main floor that does not allow residents to use the stairs inside.
