Long the most popular window type used in Europe, the vinyl Tilt & Turn is rapidly becoming the window of choice for quality conscious North Americans.
Tilt Open
Turn the handle upwards, and the upper part of the sash tilts slightly to allow safe and easy ventilation.
The opening cannot exceed 4″ (130 mm) so there’s no danger of intruders or accident risk for children. Even the rain can’t find its way into your home!
The window remains open for as long as you like, without ever slamming shut in the wind.
Turn Open
Want to ventilate your room thoroughly or open your door as wide as possible to circulate freely indoors and out?
Simply turn the handle to the horizontal position, and the sash pivots vertically to offer a larger opening.
The exterior surface can be easily and safely reached for washing, without the need to remove or support the sash.
In this position, the window also allows easy egress from the home, if necessary.
Sealed and Secure
Turn the handle down, and the tilt-and-turn window will be hermetically sealed. No air leakage, no way for burglars to get in.
Advantages of Tilt & Turn
Ease of Operation: a single operating handle effortlessly unlocks the window and moves the sash into either a tilt or a turn mode.
Strength: multiple locking points around the sash provide strength to withstand strong wind pressures. The bigger the window, the more locking points it has.
Security: the window is positively locked for tamper resistance.
Fusion welded: sash and frame corners are miter-cut and welded, eliminating caulking and joints that may loosen and leak.
Multi chambered walls: double-wall construction increases strength, permits thorough water drainage and increases energy efficiency.
Commercial rating: able to withstand heavy use, this window achieves a grade 70 rating (a rating often associated with resisting winds in excess of 130 mph) even when made in the industry-standard 4′ x 6′ commercial size. The strength of this system allows for bigger unobstructed openings than any other window system.
Interior glazing: this glazing style presents a seamless sash to the outside elements and the effects of potential tampering.
Glass options: among the options are high-performance and decorative glass.
Longevity of vinyl: literally carefree, our windows resist corrosion from pollutants, never need painting and can be cleaned with soap and water. The sash turns inward for effortless cleaning of the outside glass.
