Tilt and Turn

This makes them suitable for older homes, as they can be used to provide more ventilation than traditional window types.

When in the closed position tilt and turn windows lock like windows that are fixed in normal fashion. By turning the handle either 90° or 180° depending on the type of tilt-and turn window, the sash will open inwards, and the window will turn inward to allow air circulation. This is a great solution for ventilation without the need to open a large window which can be a safety risk if not properly secured when opening.

The sash can be opened fully by turning the handle 90or 180@. This permits complete air exchange which is especially useful for draughty houses or rooms where smells or smoke can accumulate. It also makes cleaning the exterior of the glass much simpler since it can be done from inside the home - a task that often requires ladders that are not safe.

Tilt-and-turn windows are also safe. When locked in the closed position they are difficult to open from the outside, and they feature double seals that prevent rainwater from getting into the home when in the tilted or in-swing position. This can be a particularly beneficial feature for older homes where intruders are more likely to target windows that can be opened via the side hinges.

For example, some cockspur handles are angled, while others are straight and will turn either left or right.
