Tilt and Turn Windows
Tilt and turn windows open two ways from a single handle. Turn the handle once and the sash tilts inward from the top for secure ventilation. Turn it again and the sash swings fully inward like a door, for cleaning, egress and maximum airflow.
Custom-fabricated in aluminum to your openings, with multi-point locking hardware that seals the sash against the frame at several points rather than one.
How tilt and turn windows work
One handle, three positions. The hardware does the work.
Because the sash compresses against the frame rather than pulling away from it, air-tightness is better than a single-point outward-opening window. Hinges are concealed, so nothing is visible from either side when the window is closed.

Finishes
Two coating systems, the full RAL range in both, and a different colour inside and out if you want one.
Standard
Powder coating
Baked-on polyester, electrostatically applied and oven-cured. The standard finish on most projects and the right choice inland and in the mountains.
Full RAL range
Matte, satin and textured
Hard, scratch-resistant surface
Good colour retention
Upgrade
PVDF
A fluoropolymer coating specified where exposure is severe — coastal salt air, intense UV, or an elevation that takes weather all day. Markedly better resistance to fading and chalking than polyester.
Full RAL range
Superior UV and fade resistance
Resists chalking and salt-air corrosion
Specified for coastal and high-exposure work
Any unit can be finished in one colour on the interior face and another on the exterior. A warm interior tone against a dark exterior is the most common request — it lets the window match the room without fighting the elevation. Dual-colour changes nothing about thermal or structural performance.
Where tilt and turn works best
Bedrooms and upper floors
Tilt position ventilates overnight without leaving an opening a person could pass through.
Passive and high-performance builds
Perimeter compression sealing is what makes the air-tightness numbers achievable.
Anywhere with an exterior obstruction
Inward opening never conflicts with screens, shutters, awnings or a tight setback.

Not sure this is the right one? Here is how it sits against the rest of the range.
Two opening actions, one handle. You are here.
Side-hinged, single action, widest clear opening.
Top-hinged outward. Ventilates through rain.
Sashes slide horizontally. No swing into the room.
Largest panels. No swing clearance needed.
Folds fully back to open the whole wall.
Lifts clear of the seal — heavy panels, tight seal.
Common questions
They cost more than a single-action window because the hardware does two jobs and seals at multiple points. What you get is better air-tightness, egress and tilt ventilation from one unit, and glass you can clean from inside. On an upper floor or a high-performance build, that combination is difficult to match another way.
In the turn position the sash swings inward, so it needs clear space at the opening. In the tilt position it leans in only a few inches at the top. Most projects use tilt day to day and turn occasionally for cleaning or egress.
Yes. Because the sash opens inward, the screen mounts on the outside and never conflicts with the opening — which is one of the reasons inward-opening hardware is standard on European systems.
Every unit is fabricated to your openings rather than pulled from stock sizes. Sightlines start at 20 mm and frame depths of 70, 86 and 104 mm are available depending on the performance target and the wall build-up.
