What is a tilt and turn window?
Tilt and turn windows are becoming increasingly popular due to their elegant appearance and practical features. They incorporate an innovative hinge mechanism that allows them to open in two completely different ways.
You can fully open them to the side as you would with any traditional window casement except the panes are positioned inside the room. Alternatively, you can tilt the window pane into the room with the opening at the top. It safely leaves enough space for fresh air to enter, but it's far too small for children or pets to squeeze through.
The double hinge mechanism is easily operated using the handle that's fitted to the window frame. When the handle points in a downwards position, it's firmly and securely shut. When you want to fully open the window, you simply turn the handle by approximately 90 degrees. If you would like the window to tilt inwardly from the top, you turn the handle by 180 degrees.
