Insulate and Ventilate with Tilt and Turn Windows
Tilt and turn windows offer the best of all worlds: the thermal insulation and security of double-glazed windows, but the flexibility and safety of windows that open wide for extra ventilation, easy maintenance and possible fire-escape if needed.
With tilt and turn windows, you choose whether to open them a little, for normal ventilation, or wide for a big breath of fresh air – or for an emergency exit. You can clean the outside from the inside, too, saving on maintenance especially on upper floors.
Tilt and turn windows are versatile and innovative and provide multiple opening options, enhancing ventilation, security, and ease of use. You can open this type of window in two distinct ways: tilting inward from the top for gentle ventilation or swinging inward from the side like a door for full ventilation and easy access.
This dual functionality makes them ideal for varying ventilation needs, easy cleaning from inside the home, and improved security. The tilt function allows for secure ventilation without fully opening the window.
