Tilt and turn windows have high security features to keep your home safe. If a burglar were to break into a home this type of window is an effective deterrent. There is no opening through the frame that would allow access to the interior. The tilt and turn mechanism locks the window in place preventing a burglar from being able to enter the home. A window that opens is subject to being smashed through with a hammer or other solid object causing considerable damage.

All tilt and turn windows use high performance polyester frames that offer a large safety advantage. The frame provides additional strength and adds to the structural integrity of the building. This strength is not compromised when the window is closed. The large size of the frames and tightness of the interior sealing makes this type of window very secure.

All tilt and turn windows have polyester frames that are reinforced with steel reinforcement. There are three types of frame options. There are casement frames that open on the outside inward casement frames and internal casement frames. All three provide excellent security by using thick double riveted internal casement frames with full panes of glass. All these styles provide excellent energy efficiency and require little maintenance.

Tilt and turn windows are available in many materials such as vinyl, aluminum and fiberglass. Sliding panes of glass are the most noticeable differences between these window types. With vinyl windows, the smallest pane covers the largest part of the frame. Aluminum and fiberglass provide greater strength and lightweight properties for larger windows. Both have the best security benefits and require very little maintenance.

Tilt and turn windows require cleaning because dirt and dust often accumulate on the glass when it is not in use. In order to keep the inside of the window clean, you must open and close it frequently during the day. For this reason, they are also great at preventing dust from entering your home. There is a large variety of window cleaning products available to help reduce this problem.

To clean windows in the tilt and turn style, simply remove the glass before cleaning. Use a gentle solution of mild soapy water and a soft rag or brush to clean the glass inside and out. To remove stains, use concentrated glass cleaner and scrub gently. You will find that the high intensity cleaning process gives you a streak-free shine. To add an extra level of protection, place a layer of clear, tint or laminate film over the glass before going to bed or leaving the house. This will protect it from stains that you might leave while cleaning.

The tilt and turn windows also come with a large variety of glazing options. These include uPVC and double glazing, as well as timber and GRP glazing. All are available to choose from depending on the type of glazing you need. Timber and GRP glazing are both more expensive than uPVC glazing but the former is more energy efficient. Both are available on all sizes of tilt and turn windows, so no matter what type you need, you will be able to find the right glazing.

In addition to being energy efficient, tilt and turn windows with proper ventilation are extremely beneficial. Proper ventilation is essential for maximizing the energy efficiency of any window. Windows with inadequate ventilation suffer from a number of problems including increased heat loss through the glass, and particles of dust that are difficult to get rid of. This can lead to significant indoor pollution and respiratory issues. To help control this problem, you should install a fan over your window or install an effective ventilation system that can be controlled by the air flow you chose for your tilt and turn windows.
