uPVC Window Types
uPVC Tilt and Turn Windows
uPVC tilt and turn windows size range:
Tilt and turn windows: height: 500 - 2100 mm, width: 500 - 1600 mm.
Casement windows: height: 550 - 2100 mm, width: 550 - 1550 mm.
Tilt and turn uPVC windows have two opening possibilities: tilt (open slightly from the top), turn (full opening to one side). Tilt and turn uPVC windows can either open inwards or outwards. Inward opening tilt and turn windows are the standard uPVC windows often seen in mainland Europe, especially in Central and Eastern European countries. Outward opening tilt and turn windows or casement windows are more common in windy and rainy climates such as the Northern Europe, Ireland, and the UK. When it is windy or rainy, these uPVC windows press firmly to the frame and so increase the weather tightness of the uPVC window. Additional benefit of outward opening uPVC window is the free space around the windows and on the window sills. Tilt and turn uPVC windows are recommended for residential buildings, private houses, public buildings, etc. They offer unobstructed view and are easy to clean even in the upper floors of a building. Both inward opening and outward opening uPVC windows can be made with left hand or right hand uPVC window fix (the handle will be placed either on the left or on the right side of the uPVC window). Irrespective of the chosen handle, the price of the uPVC tilt and turn window remains the same

The segments are separated by a million, or a vertical jamb that is usually an integral part of the frame and stays in place when the windows are opened. However, a flying mullion is one that is fixed to one of the two parts of the uPVC window and moves together with it. Therefore by opening both parts of the uPVC window you get an unobstructed view into the outside without any window mullions in the way. uPVC windows with a flying mullion are
opened like this:
- Open the main panel.
- Pull the lever inside the other panel.
- Open the other panel.
