Tilt and Turn Windows Explained
Many consumers ask the same question, the simplest answer is that it’s a style of window that has two very distinct ways of opening.
The first way, (tilt mode), allows you to tilt the window towards you. The window sash is hinged at the bottom and can be tilted inward from the top. This is ideal if you want to have control over the amount of ventilation entering a room and for maintaining a level of security. It also helps to stop rain and wind from getting in.
The second way, (turn mode), allows the window sash to be swung inwards, allowing for a larger opening that is ideal for cleaning windows from inside your home while providing maximum ventilation.
