If you are looking for a perfect window solution for high rise or areas of difficult access where cleaning the exterior of the window can be an issue, then consider UPVC ‘VEKA’ Tilt and Turn windows. A stylish solution that is modern and easy to use that can be found in many homes across the UK.
A BRIEF HISTORY
Tilt-and-turn window hardware was developd by the German engineer Wilhelm Frank in 1935. With just a simple turn of the handle, Tilt-and-turn windows swing inward and can be opened in side-hung (turn) and bottom-hung (tilt) modes, hence the German name ”Dreh-kipp”, or ‘turn-tilt’.
THE BENEFITS OF TILT & TURN WINDOWS
Tilt and Turn windows have multiple benefits for homeowners in all types of homes, including:
1. Range of ventilation options
If you just want to let in a little breeze and manage the temperature of a room, then the tilt function makes this possible. It allows warm air to escape without letting in huge gusts of air.
If you decide you want to get a lot of ventilation and airflow into the room, you can use the turn function to create a much larger opening.
2. Easier to clean
The turn function on your tilt and turn windows makes it much easier to clean both the interior and exterior of the windows without the need for a ladder, making cleaning your windows quicker, easier and safer.
3. Offer better security
The tilt and turn functionality requires a more robust internal hardware with multiple locking points, making these windows a lot more secure than other styles.
Not only this, but when using the tilt function, the swing in hinges allow you to have the window open without an intruder being able to force their way in or pull it open from the outside.
4. You can opt for larger windows
At Boyland Windows we offer a range of UPVC ‘VEKA’ Tilt and Turn window sizes. Perfect if you want to have a lot of natural light in a room. What’s more, these larger windows can offer better, unobstructed views, which is great if you have an amazing view outside.
5. Act as a great fire escape
Tilt and Turn windows are also great fire escape windows, as not only do they tilt inward to give ventilation whilst keeping the elements out during normal use, they also swing inward like a door giving you full unrestricted access to the outside.
6. They look great
