Tilting windows

Tilting windows

I apologize for any confusion caused. “Tilting windows” and “tilt windows” are essentially the same thing, referring to windows that can be tilted inward from the top for ventilation and cleaning purposes. The terms are used interchangeably in the industry.

When you tilt a window, the sash pivots on a hinge at the bottom and allows the top part of the window to tilt into the room while the bottom remains closed. This design enables controlled airflow and easy access to clean the exterior surface of the glass from inside your home.

Tilting windows provide the same benefits I mentioned earlier:

1. Ventilation control: The tilted position allows fresh air to enter while maintaining security and minimizing the risk of rain entering your home.

2. Easy cleaning: Tilting windows make it convenient to clean both sides of the glass without the need for exterior access or ladders.

3. Improved safety: The limited opening size when the window is tilted provides an additional level of security, especially when installed on upper floors.

4. Energy efficiency: Properly sealed and insulated tilting windows help minimize air leakage, enhancing energy efficiency by reducing drafts and heat loss.

Tilting windows are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings and are available in various materials, styles, and sizes to suit different architectural needs and personal preferences.
