As stated in the previous post, tilt and turn windows are available in two unique positions: (1) from the side of your home, and (2) from the side of a window that pivots on the porch. In simple terms, tilt and turn windows are open in two manners: (1) from the side of your home on a swinging hinge in the center of the door, like a casement window; and (2) from the side of a window that pivots on the porch swing, such as a hopper. The location of the handle determines which way it opens.

These windows tilt and turn by lifting the inside or the exterior glass, either fully or partially. In order to lift the glass fully, the inside handle will be where your left hand is when the handle is halfway up, while the right handle will be where your right hand is when the handle is at its highest. If you want to fully lift the glass, push the inner handle toward the center of your home, until the glass comes into easy access. Then close the door. If your windows tilt in the other direction, either toward the front or the back of your home, the inside handle will be where your left hand is when the door is closed, while the right handle is where your right hand is when the door is open.

Windows that tilt and turn are great for improving ventilation. In fact, many people prefer them to double hung or casement windows, because they require much less maintenance. Double hung windows require more frequent cleaning, which causes them to look dirty even after just a few years. Casement windows, on the other hand, have to deal with more wind, rain, snow, etc… That means more frequent cleaning. The tilt and turn windows are able to work very well without any of these issues.

Another benefit of tilt and turn windows are their ability to work with the sash of a home. For example, if you are in a room with a full window open, you may not be able to open the sash all the way, because of how fast the air is moving through the room. If you have the sash tilt all the way in, then you can pull the window all the way out and access the room. You will also find this is an ideal solution for older homes that do not have the modern ventilation systems available for newer homes.

There are two common types of tilt and turn windows. The first type is a casement window that is hinged on the outside with hinges on the inside of it. The inside hinges allow the sash to be rolled out while the outside hinges hold it in place. This type of hinge is what gives the window its name. It is the same mechanism used in older style windows that were made by hinged panels on the inside of a frame.

The other option is a sliding door window frame that features locking points on the inside of the frame. The locking points allow the sash to be held tightly in place without the hinges becoming loose over time. This type of frame is a good solution for older properties or those that might need to replace the sash on the inside of the frame.

Both styles have pros and cons. For instance, with a tilt, you get a larger opening than a traditional opening sash and this means you can let cold air in more easily. You can also find these windows that have two panes of glass instead of one. These require more care to prevent breakage, but they are easier to clean.

These are two main types of tilt and turn sash windows available on the market today. There are also single and double pane options. Which one you choose depends on your particular needs and your budget. Whichever type you choose, make sure it meets all your ventilation needs.
