Tilt & Turn Windows
Tilt inwards for secure ventilation, swing fully open for cleaning and escape. A continental favourite that works hard.

What it is, in plain English
One handle, two functions: turned one way the sash tilts in at the top for background ventilation, turned another it opens fully inwards.
It is the sensible answer on upper floors, apartments and anywhere the outside of the glass is hard to reach.
Best for
- Apartments
- Upper floors
- Easy cleaning
Specification
The detail that changes the price
- Materials
- Available in PVC-U and aluminium; frames are usually a little heavier to carry the hardware.
- Energy efficiency
- Excellent sealing due to the compression locking action — often among the best-performing casement types.
- Security
- Locking points around the full perimeter and lockable handles as standard on most systems.
- Colours & finishes
- The same colour and foil range as standard casement and aluminium systems.
- Hardware
- The hardware is the product here — specify a reputable make and expect to service it occasionally.
- Glass
- Suits larger panes; acoustic glass is common in city apartments.
- Maintenance
- Clean both faces of the glass from inside. Lubricate the gearing annually.
- Typical applications
- Flats, high-level windows, and homes where safe restricted ventilation matters.

Strengths and compromises
What it does well
- Clean the outside of the glass from inside
- Excellent sealing and security

Where it compromises

- Costs more than a plain casement
