Tilt & Turn Series

Living in india, you notice a lot of small engineering innovations that make life easier, One of these innovations in particular stands out, entirely ordinary to Indians, but extraordinary to visitors and newcomers discovering it for the first time: the tilt-and-turn window.

When the handle of a tilt-and-turn is in the downward position, the window is shut is and locked. Rotate the handle 90 degrees so it points sideways, and you can pull the window open horizontally.

Now comes the twist: push the window back into place, rotate the handle another 90 degrees so it points up, and then pull it back down toward you. The window tilts inward, opening from the top rather than the side. It then locks into place after opening a few inches, resting at an angle. Each method of opening also aligns intuitively with the different handle positions: pull sideways when the handle is horizontal, and pull down when it is vertical.

Advantages of Tilt and Turn Windows

1. Versatile Design & Flexible Ventilation : The design also means that when it rains water is prevented from entering your home because of the tilted angle.

2. Ideal for Small Spaces : The flexibility of these tilt and turn windows means that if you’d like to be able to open a window in a smaller room for ventilation (such as the bathroom) you can do so without having a large window to swing back into the room.

3. Easy Use & Maintenance : They are also easy to open and close as the window opens inwards and not outwards.

4. Air-sealed for Insulation : Better insulated windows should mean you’ll need to use your heating less and could save you money on energy bills.
