Tilt and Turn Windows: What You Need to Know
Tilt and turn windows can be a stylish and practical addition to your home. But what are they and what are their benefits? Let’s find out!
What are tilt and turn windows?
Tilt and turn windows are windows which can be opened in two ways.
Firstly, they can be opened fully like a casement window – from left to right or vice versa – and secondly, they can be tilted open from the bottom, with the top of the window being angled into the room. The design means you can ventilate a room without compromising security or have it fully open and let fresh air flood in.
How do you open and adjust tilt and turn windows?
Tilt and turn windows may open differently depending on their design and the manufacturer's specifications. However, usually they work by turning the handle to specific points.
For example, turning the handle to a 90-degree angle from its starting position will allow you to fully open the window (from left to right or right to left). Turning the handle to a 180-degree angle from its starting position will enable you to tilt the window from the bottom, and open the top of the window into the room.
How do you clean tilt and turn windows?
The design of a tilt and turn window means they are extremely easy to clean. Simply by opening the window fully you can clean both sides of the window whilst remaining inside!
How do you install tilt and turn windows?
Tilt and turn windows are installed in the same way as a standard window. However, we would always recommend employing the services of a professional to ensure your new window is correctly fitted and safe for you to use.
Can you get tilt and turn windows made to order?
Yes, you can! This is particularly useful if you have an unconventionally shaped or sized window or if you live in a historical or listed building that dictates specific requirements. Aluminium windows can also be custom-made to fit your unique needs while offering durability and a sleek, modern look.
How much do tilt and turn windows cost?
Tilt and turn windows can range in price from as little as £120 to over £1,000 depending on the style of window you choose. Doing your research and getting quotes from various manufacturers will ensure you get the right window for both your home and your budget.
