European-Style Tilt and Turn Windows

One Handle. Three Positions

Introducing the Tilt & Turn window—a German invention that’s become a standard across Europe and is now gaining popularity in the U.S. This innovative system offers three functions in one simple, user-friendly design.

  • Perfect for Any Space – Works in residential, commercial, and high-rise buildings

  • Great as an Emergency Exit – Meets safety standards for fire escape routes

How It Works

Closed

To securely close your window, simply turn the handle downward. The window’s high-quality fittings lock around the perimeter of the sash, with at least five locking points, ensuring it stays tightly shut.

Opened

Turn the handle to the horizontal position to open the window like a door. The side hinges allow the sash to swing fully open, providing maximum airflow. Rotate the handle 180° and the sash will tilt inward for ventilation.

Tilted

In the tilted position, turning the handle 180° tilts the window at a 15° angle, creating a small gap at the top for safe and continuous ventilation. This allows you to enjoy fresh air without compromising safety—no need to worry about the risk of fully open windows.

The tilt-and-turn functionality is perfect for constant airflow while maintaining security and safety, making it an ideal solution for homes with children or high-traffic areas. Keep your spaces fresh and ventilated without leaving windows wide open!
