Tilt and Turn Windows in Braintree
Ideal for larger openings, our Liniar uPVC tilt and turn windows offer a highly adaptable solution for a variety of applications. The fully opening side aperture makes them ideal for fire escape routes, while the tiltable pane allows controlled ventilation at the turn of a handle.
Designed with security in mind, these tilt and turn windows meet PAS 24 and Secured By Design standards, giving you peace of mind whether you’re supplying for a new build, a refurbishment, or a high-rise project in Braintree and surrounding areas.
What’s the Difference Between Tilt and Turn?
While the name suggests a single function, tilt and turn windows actually combine two opening styles in one frame:
- Tilt Function – The window tilts inward from the top, creating a small opening for secure ventilation. This setting is ideal for upper floors, as it allows airflow without the risk of someone entering from outside.
- Turn Function – The window swings inward like a door, giving full access for cleaning or emergency escape. This makes them highly practical for both residential and commercial projects.
This dual-action design means one window can replace the need for separate ventilation and egress openings, saving time for installers and space for property owners.
