Aluminium Tilt and Turn Windows

Tilt and turn windows represent a unique window style that allows for dual modes of operation: they can either tilt inward from the top or open inward from the side, similar to casement windows. This versatility makes them highly adaptable, offering both ventilation and unrestricted access to the outdoors. Tilt and turn windows are commonly crafted from materials like aluminum or PVC and can be equipped with various glass options, including double glazing, triple glazing, and safety glass. Advantages of Tilt and Turn Windows:

• Security: Tilt and turn windows excel in security because they can be securely locked in both the tilted and fully open positions. This feature makes them well-suited for homes and businesses in areas with high crime rates.
• Ventilation: These windows are excellent for ventilation. They can be opened slightly, enabling air circulation without permitting rain or dust to enter. This is particularly beneficial during warm weather or while cooking.
• Cleaning: Tilt and turn windows are easy to clean, as the entire window can be tilted inward for convenient access. This is especially practical for windows situated in high or hard-to-reach places.
• Energy Efficiency: Tilt and turn windows can be highly energy-efficient, especially when equipped with insulated glass. This aids in reducing energy costs and maintaining a comfortable interior throughout the year.

Both tilt and turn windows and casement windows come with their own set of advantages and drawbacks. Tilt and turn windows are more versatile, offering enhanced security and ventilation. However, they can be somewhat costlier than casement windows. Casement windows are budget-friendly and easier to install but provide less security and ventilation. The choice between the two hinges on your specific needs and budget.

Tilt and turn windows employ a specialized hinge mechanism that facilitates the dual-opening functionality. To tilt the window, simply turn the handle 180 degrees, causing the window to tilt inward from the top. To fully open the window, turn the handle 90 degrees, and the window will swing inward from the side. Tilt and turn windows can be securely locked in both the tilted and fully open positions. Locking the window involves turning the handle to the closed position and engaging the lock button. Tilt and turn windows are renowned for their versatility and security and can find application in various scenarios.

Tilt and turn aluminium windows are designed for ease of operation and maintenance. Their dual-function mechanism allows the window to tilt inward from the top for ventilation or, swing open like a door for full access. This design facilitates straightforward cleaning, as both sides of the glass can be accessed from inside your home. Additionally, aluminium’s durability ensures these windows resist warping and corrosion, contributing to their low-maintenance nature. ​

Tilt and turn windows tend to be more expensive than traditional window types like casement or double-hung windows. The increased cost is attributed to their intricate operating mechanism and modern design. While the initial investment may be higher, the combination of functionality, security, and aesthetic benefits makes tilt and turn aluminium windows a compelling choice for many homeowners.

The benefits of choosing tilt and turn aluminium windows include:​

• Versatile Ventilation: The tilt function allows for secure ventilation without compromising safety, while the turn function provides maximum airflow when fully opened.​
• Enhanced Security: The inward tilt position offers ventilation while maintaining security, as the window remains partially closed and difficult to tamper with.
• Energy Efficiency: The airtight seal when closed helps prevent drafts, contributing to better insulation and potentially reducing energy costs.​
• Aesthetic Appeal: Their intricate, efficient, modern design magnificently enhances the visual appeal of contemporary homes.​
• Customisation: Alteza offers customisation options in terms of size, colour, glass, glazing, hardware, allowing you to personalise the windows to your specific preferences and home design.
