What Are Tilt and Turn Windows?
Tilt and turn windows, as the name suggests, can be tilted and turned for easy cleaning, extra ventilation and added security. Highly versatile, they open one of two ways, tilting inwards from the top or swinging fully open on a hinge like a door.
They can be used as fire escape windows, depending on the size of the opening, and provide superb ventilation with airflow at the top, without letting in the cold. They also offer better safety for young families, as this type of window is harder to fall out of or jam fingers in.
How Do Tilt and Turn Windows Work?
Tilt and turn windows are based on Scandinavian design principles, with two axes built in to allow the window to open two different ways.  Â
The handle is the key to operating the window – pointing it downwards will lock the window, often at multiple lock points. If you turn the handle all the way up to the top, the window will open inwards, like a casement window. If, however, you turn the handle halfway, you can tilt the window from the bottom. Please note that different manufacturers may have slightly different opening and closing mechanisms.
