Frequently Asked Questions
How do aluminum tilt and turn windows operate?
These windows feature a dual-action mechanism. Turning the handle 90 degrees allows the window to swing inward like a door (turn), while turning it 180 degrees allows the top of the sash to tilt inward for secure ventilation.
Are aluminum windows energy efficient enough for cold climates?
Yes, modern aluminum tilt and turn windows are designed with thermal breaks—insulating materials placed between the inner and outer frames—to significantly reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency.
Do aluminum frames rust over time?
No, aluminum does not rust. It naturally develops a protective oxide layer, and when combined with professional powder coating or anodized finishes, it becomes extremely resistant to corrosion even in coastal areas.
How secure are tilt and turn windows compared to standard types?
They are highly secure. Due to their design, they typically utilize multi-point locking systems around the frame. The inward-swinging design also makes it nearly impossible to force them open from the outside.
Can I get aluminum windows in different colors?
Absolutely. Aluminum frames can be powder-coated in a vast range of RAL colors and textures, including wood-grain finishes, to perfectly match your building's architectural style.
Are they easy to clean from inside the house?
Yes, that is one of their biggest benefits. Because the window can turn fully inward like a door, you can easily and safely clean both the interior and exterior glass surfaces from inside the room.
