Operation of tilt and turn windows couldn’t be more simple. A handle determines selection of the frame’s multi-point locking mechanism. All lock positions can be achieved with an easy one-handed action. The handle positions include ‘down’ for locked, to one ‘side’ to open the window in the turn position or ‘upwards’ to move the window into the tilt position. When closed, all the locks are engaged and can be deadlocked by key. The number of locking points are determined by the size of the window. In this position, a seal is created that very effectively prevents passage of sound, heat or cold air.

The top inward opening tilt position provides a safety precaution against young children climbing out through the window. This improved child safety feature means that tilt and turn windows are not only ideal for ground floor applications but are also excellent for multi-store installations. In addition, the thickness of the glazing is a precaution against intruders attempting to smash their way into a building and the multi-point locking system ensures that the window cannot be breached.

The construction design of European-style tilt and turn windows and frames will not support combustion which ensures that these windows and doors are ideal for homes constructed in bushfire-prone regions. Homeowners can be reassured that the air-tight seals and fire-resistant materials will provide a high degree of protection not afforded by standard aluminum-framed windows and doors.
