Space Saving Tilt and Turn Windows is a type of window that achieves efficient use of space through a two-way opening mechanism.
1. Core Features of Aluminum Tilt And Turn Windows
Two-way opening mode:
Inward tilt mode: The upper part of the window sash tilts about 10-15 cm toward the interior to form a ventilation gap to avoid direct wind blowing while not occupying external space.
Inward opening mode: The window sash can be completely opened toward the interior, which is convenient for cleaning the outer side glass, especially suitable for high-rise buildings.
Compact structural design:
The window frame and window sash adopt hidden hinges and multi-point locking system to reduce the protruding part of traditional outward-opening windows and save external space.
The width of the window sash can be customized to adapt to narrow window sills or small openings, such as balconies, attics and other scenes.
High sealing performance:
Multi-cavity broken bridge aluminum profiles (such as PA66+25% glass fiber insulation strips) are combined with EPDM sealing strips, with air tightness of level 8 (GB/T 7106-2019) and water tightness of level 6.
2. Key data features of Double Glass Tilt And Turn Windows
Space occupancy rate reduced by 40%:
Traditional outward-opening windows require 15-20 cm of external opening space, while casement-tilt windows only require 5 cm of internal space, which is suitable for small apartments or narrow corridors.
Ventilation efficiency increased by 30%:
In the tilt-tilt mode, air enters the room through the top gap, forming natural convection to avoid the discomfort of direct blowing. Actual measurements show that the ventilation time of a 15 square meter room is shortened from 25 minutes for traditional casement windows to 18 minutes.
Energy-saving performance optimization:
With three-glass two-chamber (5Low-E+12A+5) glass, the K value of the whole window is as low as 0.8 W/(m²·K), which is more than 25% energy-saving than ordinary double-glass windows. Taking a 100 square meter house as an example, the annual heating energy consumption can be reduced by 900kWh and carbon emissions can be reduced by 0.58 tons (calculated at 0.65kgCO₂/kWh).
Enhanced safety performance:
The 8-point locking system makes the anti-pry force reach 1500N, which is 3 times higher than that of traditional windows; the tilt-and-turn mode can prevent children from climbing and reduce the risk of accidental falls by 90%.
3. Advantages of using Thermal Break Tilt And Turn Windows
Spatial adaptability:
It is suitable for small apartments, LOFTs, balcony renovations and other scenarios, solving the problem of traditional window types occupying external space. The 30-square-meter apartment was replaced with a casement tilt-and-turn window, freeing up a 1.2-meter-wide external corridor space.
Easy to maintain:
The inward opening mode eliminates the need for high-altitude operations to clean the external side glass, reducing maintenance costs by 60%. Actual measurements by the German Schüco Group show that the sealing performance of its products has not declined after 5,000 opening and closing tests.
Ventilation safety:
The tilt-and-turn mode avoids strong winds blowing directly and reduces the risk of colds. A study by the Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University showed that the respiratory infection rate of patients in wards using this window type decreased by 22%.
Sound insulation and noise reduction:
The multi-cavity structure is combined with hollow glass, and the sound insulation performance reaches 35dB (RW), which is 10dB higher than that of ordinary windows. It is suitable for noisy environments such as airports and viaducts.
4. Application scenarios
High-rise residential buildings:
Super-high-rise projects use aluminum casement and tilt-in windows, combined with anti-falling devices, to solve the safety hazards of outward-opening windows and meet ventilation needs.
Small apartment renovation:
In the renovation of the courtyard house, this window type replaces the traditional sliding window, improves the space utilization rate by 20%, and achieves Class A energy-saving standards.
Medical buildings:
The pediatric ward of the hospital uses antibacterial coated casement and tilt-in windows, combined with the tilt-in ventilation mode, to reduce the total number of air colonies by 58%, meeting the requirements of the "General Hospital Building Design Code".
Passive houses in severe cold areas:
Passive house projects use this window type, combined with a three-glass two-cavity structure, to achieve air tightness level 8 and water tightness level 6. The indoor side profile temperature is maintained above 18°C in winter, completely eliminating condensation.
5. Technology evolution trend
Intelligent integration:
Integrated temperature and humidity sensors and automatic ventilation devices, when the indoor humidity is greater than 70%, the tilting mode is activated to dynamically adjust the microclimate.
Material innovation:
The application of glass fiber reinforced polyurethane composite materials makes the window frame bending strength reach 1442MPa, which can withstand 5 adult men standing without deformation, and is suitable for areas with frequent typhoons.
