Tilt and Turn Window

A Tilt and Turn Window is a versatile type of window that can be opened in two different ways: it can either tilt inward at the top for ventilation or swing open like a door by turning the handle. This dual functionality allows for flexible use in various situations, making tilt and turn windows popular in modern homes, especially in Europe.

Key Features of Tilt and Turn Windows:

• Dual Operation
  • Tilt Position When the window handle is turned 90 degrees, the top of the window tilts inward, allowing for controlled ventilation while minimizing the risk of rain entering the room.
  • Turn Position When the handle is rotated further (typically 180 degrees), the entire window swings inward, like a door, for full access and wider ventilation.
• Security and Functionality Tilt and turn windows are often considered highly secure, as the inward swing prevents the window from being easily accessed from the outside. The locking mechanism in the turn position can also add an extra layer of security when closed.
• Energy Efficiency These windows are often designed to have tight seals when closed, improving insulation and reducing drafts, making them energy efficient.
• Design and Materials Tilt and turn windows are typically made of uPVC, or aluminum, and they often feature slim profiles to maximize natural light. They are popular in contemporary architecture due to their clean lines and modern appearance.
• Easy Cleaning Since the window swings inward, it’s easy to clean both the interior and exterior surfaces without the need for ladders or special equipment.

Benefits of Tilt and Turn Windows

• Versatile VentilationThe ability to choose between a small tilt for ventilation or a full swing for wider airflow offers flexibility depending on weather conditions or the level of ventilation needed.
• Space-Efficient The inward-opening design makes them ideal for locations where a window needs to be opened in a confined space, such as near furniture or walkways.
• Enhanced Security The inward swing makes it harder for someone to force open the window from the outside, especially when locked in the closed or tilted position.
• Easy Maintenance The ability to open the window fully inward makes cleaning the exterior glass easier without needing to reach from the outside or use ladders.
• Energy Efficient With their tight seals and insulating glass options, tilt and turn windows can contribute to better energy performance.

In summary, a tilt and turn window is a highly versatile and secure window type that allows for both top-tilted ventilation and full-swing opening, offering flexibility, ease of maintenance, and energy efficiency. It is particularly popular in European homes and modern architectural designs.
