Tilt And Turn Window

What Is A Tilt and Turn Window?

A tilt and turn looks like a casement window, with large unbroken glaze in the center of the assembly. The window can assume three different positions, based on the needs of the homeowner or home occupant.

In the closed and locked position, it makes an excellent picture window to give the homeowner an unobstructed view of the world outside. In the second position, it can turn open from hinges on the side, like a door.

In the third position, the window can tilt in from hinges on the bottom, to provide air flow into the room.

How Does Tilt and Turn Window Function?

In the closed and locked position:

The window is shut, and the handle is pointed downward at the floor

This position enables the occupants inside the home to get the maximum amount of light

The second position:

To open, the handle is turned 90 degrees to point to the right

This enables the window to swing inward, like a door

In this open position, occupants inside the home have easy access to the outside and allow maximum air flow into the home

The third position:

·The window is closed, and the handle is rotated upward another 90 degrees to point at the ceiling

·In this position, the tilt and turn window pivots from the bottom and tilts inward slightly

·After opening only a few inches, the window locks into place and will open no farther

·This tilting option allows breezes to enter the home while preventing rain and the elements from entering

Tilt and Turn Windows are popular because of the multi-functioning way it provides security and comfort in the home .
