Tilt and Turn Windows
It may come as a surprise but opening inwards tilt and turn windows date all the way back to 1909. However, the popularity of this style of inwards opening window really took hold during the post-war period when tilt and turn windows wealth of versatility grew in demand. Commonly used today, they have become a popular choice of window for residential and commercial buildings. Practical in areas where outward opening windows might not be feasible due to limited outdoor space, energy efficient, secure, easy to clean and easy to maintain, it’s clear to see why this style of window has become fashionable.
Very much a European design, the Liniar tilt and turn window allows you to let in fresh air while also offering security.
Why Tilt and Turn Windows?
Many consumers ask the same question, the simplest answer is that it’s a style of window that has two very distinct ways of opening.
The first way, (tilt mode), allows you to tilt the window towards you. The window sash is hinged at the bottom and can be tilted inward from the top. This is ideal if you want to have control over the amount of ventilation entering a room and for maintaining a level of security. It also helps to stop rain and wind from getting in.
The second way, (turn mode), allows the window sash to be swung inwards, allowing for a larger opening that is ideal for cleaning windows from inside your home while providing maximum ventilation.
