Tilt and turn window

What are tilt and turn windows?

Tilt position: tilts the sash inwards at the top providing excellent ventilation while maintaining security and safety. Turn position: window sash hinges from one side enabling the window to open fully allowing maximum ventilation and means of escape in case of emergency.

Tilt and turn windows open inwards using a mechanical hinge on two axes. They are operated using a single handle that angles the window inwards from the bottom, allowing ventilation at the top. A tilt and turn window can also be opened inwards from the side for additional ventilation when required, or to be used as an emergency escape route.

One of the main benefits of tilt and turn windows is safety and security. They are considered more secure than their conventional counterparts due to robust operational hardware. Because it opens inwards, there is no way it can be forcibly pulled open, with multiple locking points to protect from intruders. The style is also ideally suited to families with young children, with no risk of them falling out from the smaller opening at the top. Therefore, warmer days can be enjoyed worry-free.

Tilt and turn windows work well in openings that are taller than they are wide but can also be paired with stationary windows or other types for larger openings. They are useful in spaces that need flexible ventilation, such as bathrooms and kitchens.

Another great benefit of installing tilt and turn windows is how easy it is to keep them clean. The fact that they open inwards means you can clean both sides of the glass without leaning out – a practical solution for rooms on higher levels or where the window is difficult to reach from the outside.

What can I do to reduce the cost?

One of the methods to reduce the cost of new windows is by knowing exactly what you are looking for. This includes the style, colour, handles, but also anything linked to security and locking mechanism. You could also take out the old windows and dispose of them yourself, but the drawback is that you will have no guarantees of workmanship and it could make the job harder if the windows have not been taken out properly.
