Tilt and turn doors and windows have always been a very popular option in most countries. The increasing popularity is mainly due to the fact they are safe, smooth and convenient.

Tilt and turn units are also called French doors and were first installed in France in the 1920’s. Since then, they have gained popularity across the world and more people are installing them for aesthetic and security reasons.

Most homeowners and commercial property owners install a tilt and turn door system that consists of two or more sliding doors which open onto a tiled support beneath the original doors. The doors and the tiled support take the weight of the occupants who exit the house thus preventing them from being lifted up during a storm. The doors and the tiled support can be controlled by one control unit which opens and closes the doors or the windows. This allows the doors and windows to be opened and closed according to the weather conditions.

There are many types of doors and windows available in the market today which include tilt, turn, swing, bypass, bi-fold and mirrored. Some doors and windows may also incorporate a remote control unit which opens and closes the doors and windows using a handheld device. The majority of these devices operate using a small button located on the remote control unit. A large variety of materials are available such as wood, steel, aluminum and fiberglass. Some manufacturers offer doors and windows made from high quality tempered glass that can brave the harshest of weather conditions.

Tilt and turn units are available in various styles and designs such as sliding, bi-fold and bypass. They can be used for interior and exterior decoration including decks and porches. Windows and doors made of wood can provide both beauty and function. Wood is a good choice of material, as it requires little maintenance and can also withstand all sorts of weather conditions. Windows and doors made of wood are usually suspended by a frame which allows them to tilt and open. A wooden tilt mechanism may consist of one or more pulleys and chains or a combination of pulleys and chains and a wheel.

In case your unit includes a window or a door with a tilt mechanism, you will need to install a hinge device that allows opening of the window or door. The hinged device should be installed at a point where the tilt of the window or door can be controlled. The hinges can either be vertical or horizontal. The vertical ones are suitable for larger doors and windows while the horizontal ones are better suited for smaller doors and windows. If you do not want the windows and doors to tilt or turn, you can use chains and pulleys.

To use the tilt and turn device, pull the string vertically over the pulleys or chains attached to the window or door. If the window or door has a window frame, pull the string horizontally across it. As soon as you feel a vibration, the device will be turned on and you will see the opening of the door or window. Similarly, if you feel a resistance, you can turn the device on and wait till you hear the opening sound.

Windows and doors with tilt and turn features can be hung using the hanging strips or cleats. Hanging strips are used to keep the windows and doors from turning or tilting. However, some homes and businesses have round windows and doors which cannot be fitted with the hanging strips. These units require drilling holes in the walls.

There are many advantages of using tilt and turn windows and doors. They can be adjusted depending on the way the sun shines or the direction it shines. The blinds or curtains can also be moved to provide privacy and light control. They can be used on all kinds of doors and windows. A house owner can also make adjustments in them on his own to achieve the best viewing from any angle and for any kind of weather.
