English translation:all of the outside windows
Explanation:
"windows" is a good translation; what 'raampartijen' literally means is "set of windows" or "bunch of windows" (but you wouldn't use this formulation in this context in English) -- it also means an unspecified number of windows, so here you might more specifically say "all of the outside windows" for the entire phrase
