FAQs
We're Here to Answer Your Questions
How does a tilt and turn window open?
A tilt and turn window has two distinct modes of operation. It can either be opened in the tilt position, which allows you to open the top half of the window while keeping the bottom half closed, or it can be opened fully in the turn mode, allowing you to open both the top and bottom halves of the window completely.
What are the benefits of installing a tilt and turn window?
They provide excellent ventilation, allowing fresh air to enter the home while still maintaining security and privacy. They are also easy to use, with the ability to open both the top and bottom halves of the window in two distinct modes – in tilt or fully open. Additionally, they are also extremely energy efficient, helping to reduce heating costs in the winter and cooling costs in the summer. Finally, since tilt and turn windows do not require bulky hardware for operation, they have a modern aesthetic that can enhance any room's décor.
Are tilt and turn windows secure?
Yes, tilt and turn windows are very secure. They feature multiple points of locking systems that offer better security than alternative window styles.
How much maintenance is required for a tilt and turn window?
Tilt and turn windows require minimal maintenance. The occasional cleaning of the frame and glass can help to keep dirt and dust from building up, while regular lubricating of the hinges can ensure smooth operation. In addition, any damaged seals should be repaired or replaced to ensure proper insulation. All in all, tilt and turn windows are fairly low-maintenance and are designed to last for years with minimal effort.
Is there a difference between a tilt and turn window and other types of windows?
The main difference is the ability to open and close the window in two different ways - either with a tilt or a full turn. This allows for greater airflow while still keeping the security of the locking system intact. Additionally, tilt and turn windows also feature better insulation than other window types, which helps to reduce heat transfer and save energy.

Are Black Window Frames the Way to Go?
Black Windows by NorthShield
In recent years, black windows have gained popularity among homeowners who seek a modern and streamlined appearance for their homes. Their versatility allows them to be utilized in both traditional and contemporary designs, making them a favored option. Black vinyl windows can add a touch of sophistication and elegance to any room, whether the objective is to create a bold contrast with white walls or complement a neutral color palette. Additionally, they possess practical advantages such as energy efficiency and durability.
In addition to their practical advantages, black windows can also contribute to a sense of luxury in your home. They are often linked to high-end and modern designs, evoking an atmosphere of sophistication in any space. The bold and dramatic appearance of black window frames exudes refinement and elegance, making them an ideal choice. As they can complement various decor styles, from transitional to modern chic, black windows can serve as a striking focal point for any room. Pairing black windows with luxurious materials like marble or velvet can lend an expensive and elevated look to your home. Hence, black vinyl windows are a wise investment for homeowners who place importance on style and aesthetics.
Benefits of Tilt & Turn Windows
Tilt and turn windows offer a plethora of benefits that make them a great option for any home. They provide exceptional ventilation control because you can open the window inwards (from the top) as well as outward (from the side). This means you can let in the breeze, without compromising security or weather resistance.
The second advantage is their durability; tilt and turn windows are made of robust materials such as aluminum or uPVC which are known for their longevity. This means that they won’t need to be replaced often, saving you money. They also require minimal maintenance, which involves easy cleaning with a damp microfiber cloth, which can be done from inside your home, as well as occasional lubrication to ensure smooth transitions.
Finally, tilt and turn windows are incredibly versatile. They can be placed in almost any room of the house, due to their range of uses which provide options for air control, noise pollution, safety, and security.
Ventilation Control
Tilt and turn windows provide more ventilation control in your home by allowing you either open the window fully (turn) or partially (tilt). The unique tilt feature of these windows also allows you to keep the window open while it is raining, whether you are looking to keep the air flowing in your home or fall asleep to the sound of rain.
Furthermore, tilt and turn windows are easy to operate manually: they require light pressure, placed on the handle downward or horizontally depending on your desired window position. This makes them highly accessible and easy-to-use.
Durability
Tilt and turn windows are designed to be durable and long-lasting. Their multi-point locking system helps prevent air infiltration, while their robust construction makes them resistant to wear and tear. These types of windows also have a dual opening mechanism, allowing users to tilt the sash inwards for ventilation or swing it open completely like a door. This flexible design means that the window can still be functional even after years of frequent use. Furthermore, tilt and turn windows are often made from uPVC or aluminum which makes them extremely resistant to weathering, corrosion, and fading – making them much more durable than other types of frames such as timber or metal. All these features make tilt and turn windows an excellent choice for those looking for a reliable and long-lasting window solution.
Versatility
With tilt and turn windows, you can open the window for ventilation, close it to keep out drafts, or tilt the upper sash inwards to allow air circulation without having to leave the window fully open. The thickness and insulation of the window make them great for safety and security, in addition to blocking out noise, dust, and heat, making them a popular choice for homes as well as commercial buildings.
Convenience
Tilt and turn have a number of key features that make them a great option for homeowners. This controlled airflow feature makes them perfect for monitoring and controlling airflow, without sacrificing security. Additionally, these types of windows are much easier to clean than other styles due to their tiltable design, making it easy to reach both sides of the glass from inside your home. Lastly, they provide excellent soundproofing qualities due to their double-glazed construction which helps reduce noise pollution.
