With a wide range of designs to choose from, along with an array of different configurations, fittings, glazing units and profiles, tilt and turn windows are now one of the most popular types of windows.
Practical for cleaning and providing exceptional ventilation, they work on a dual hinge system, allowing the window top to open into the room from either the side or the top using a bottom-hinged system. The opening of the window can also be used as a fire escape in an emergency.
Tilt and turn windows are fitted with high security multi-point locking systems and key locking handles. They also have a built in ventilation system which protects against water coming in and the window itself is very weather resilient. You will also benefit from the tilt & turn windows thermal performance as standard with the A rated option.
“Tilt and turn windows are one of the most versatile options on the market today. What sets them apart is the clever hinge system, which allows you to tilt the window inwards for secure ventilation or open it fully from the side for easy cleaning or emergency access. This makes them ideal for upper floors or homes where safety and practicality are key concerns. We often recommend them to clients looking for a modern, low-maintenance option that doesn’t compromise on performance. With high-security locking mechanisms, strong weather resistance and excellent thermal efficiency, they tick all the right boxes — both in terms of function and appearance.”

With multiple locking points and reinforced frames, tilt and turn windows are more secure than traditional windows, as the tilt function makes it more difficult for intruders to enter.
Since tilt and turn windows have a dual-hinge system, they are substantially easier to clear, both inside and out.
Due to their dual-open mechanisms, tilt and turn windows have better rubber seals, which reduces the noise from outside.
As a German design, tilt and turn windows are more flexible, and can be more suitable for smaller rooms or city-centre properties.
