UPVC Tilt and Turn windows are superbly practical and versatile as they feature a hinge mechanism which means they can be opened in 2 ways.
Tilt and turn windows can be opened fully like a casement window (inwards) or they can be tilted from the bottom so that the top of the window is angled into the room, giving a smaller opening for ventilation. This tilted opening also has the added benefit of increased security and safety as intruders can’t enter and children can’t fall out as no one can fit through the gap.
When the window is in the standard position and the handle is downwards it is fixed securely in position, but brilliantly the tilt and turn window has a handle which works in 2 different ways.
When you turn the handle 90° the window will swing inwards opening the aperture fully, when you turn the handle 180° it will only tilt open with the aperture mainly at the top.
One of the biggest advantages of tilt and turn windows is that they offer a great deal of flexibility when it comes to ventilation. You don’t need to have the window fully open to let air into your home, you can simply open it slightly by tilting it. You can then adjust the angle depending on how much ventilation you want. The design also means that when it rains water is prevented from entering your home because of the tilted angle.
The flexibility of these tilt and turn windows means that if you’d like to be able to open a window in a smaller room for ventilation (such as the bathroom) you can do so without having a large window to swing back into the room.
As these windows can open fully into the home it’s really easy to clean both the inside and outside without having to use a ladder for upstairs windows or take the risk of leaning outside.
Tilt and turn windows can have better air-seals than sliding, single/double hung windows. This means less they are less prone to water leakage, cold draughts and you’ll keep more of your heating indoors.
Because you can tilt the windows inward just a small amount, this style is particularly suitable for family homes with small children. You’ll still be able to ventilate the house without the danger of children falling out or getting fingers trapped. Also, as these windows can be opened fully they could provide a fire escape in the event of an emergency. They can also stop burglars.
UPVC tilt and turn windows are slightly more expensive than standard casement windows of the same size. This is because they have more sophisticated operating systems and locking mechanisms.
