W3: Casement Tilt and Turn Window
-
European tilt windows offer practical benefits that not only enhance the overall aesthetics of your home but also improve its functionality. These windows combine modern efficiency with timeless sophistication, offering endless options for customization with handles, glazing, frames, and colors.
They are versatile and easy to use, available in different shapes, sizes, and finishes. With a single handle, you can perform multiple functions with ease. Cleaning the exterior is also made simple as it can be done safely from the inside, making them durable and easy to maintain.
In addition, tilt windows are excellent for energy efficiency, regulating indoor temperature and reducing heating and cooling costs. The air seal provides better insulation, and they come in various sizes, perfect for any living situation.
Tilt windows also offer improved ventilation and control over your environment. The tilt function allows for top-only ventilation, allowing hot air to escape quickly, while the turn function creates ample airflow and movement for maximum ventilation.
Security is also a priority, with multiple locking points and in-swing hinges, making them virtually impenetrable. Specialty glass can also be used to add an extra layer of security and safety to your home.
Finally, oversized tilt windows offer unobstructed views, showcasing the beauty of your surroundings, while also being incredibly durable and resistant to weather, wind, and water.
Normal ventilation is done in the tilt position. This position allows superior natural airflow (much like a double hung with the top and bottom opened) while preventing heavy drafts. It can be left open in all but driving rain. Because the hardware isn’t very exposed, a window in the tilt position is more secure than an open casement window.
The turn position allows maximum ventilation, as well as the ability to clean the glass from the inside.
In the closed position, Tilt & Turn Windows offer maximum security with a classic look, nearly identical to that of the inswing “French” casement windows found on so many older homes in Milwaukee.
