uPVC Tilt and Turn Windows

A tilt and turn window is a versatile 2-in-1 system that acts like both a door and a secure vent. The window is controlled by a single handle, allowing you to either swing the window wide open from the side or tilt it forward from the top just a few inches. This is possible because of a pivot hinge at the bottom that holds the window in place and a perimeter locking system that seals tightly on all four sides when closed.

These versatile windows are easy to use and offer practicality in daily life, as they help bring in fresh air without fully opening the space when not needed.

At the same time, they are strong and last long, which makes them suitable for both homes and offices.
