How Do Tilt Turn Windows Work? 

By /

Tilt turn windows are renowned for their dual functionality, allowing them to tilt open at the top for ventilation or swing open inward like a door for easy cleaning and maximum access to the outdoors. 

How They Work: 
  1. Tilt Position:
    • Tilt functionality allows the top of the window to tilt inwards, providing controlled ventilation without compromising security. To open the window to this position, simply rotate the handle ninety degrees so it points into the centre and pull towards you. 
  2. Turn Position:
    • Turning the handle in the opposite direction opens the window inwards like a door, providing easy access for cleaning, escape in emergencies and ample ventilation. 
  3. Closed Position:
    • To lock the window into its closed position, rotate the handle so that it points downwards.
