The rod is then fitted with round studs called mushrooms that move up and down when the handle of the espagnolette is moved. The mushrooms are then locked into a metal plate on the window frame known as a keep.

Turn and tilt

Tilt-and turn windows offer European style, enhanced functionality, and increased security with energy efficiency. They are the perfect solution for home owners or construction projects that want to enhance the value of their homes or properties.

The windows feature a unique dual function handle that lets the window tilt to the side for ventilation, and then open as an entrance for cleaning. They also serve as an excellent escape point in the event of an emergency, and they can be open wide enough to allow for egress.

Tilt and turn windows are simple to use and look great in many different home and building styles. They also have a range of features not available in other types of windows, including different opening configurations and bars for a more traditional style and a variety of finishes and materials. Spray painting is a great option to create any desired color or style.

If the window is closed the window is locked. When the handle is positioned vertically up, the sash tilts inwards by around 20 degrees. This is a great and comfortable method of allowing air to circulate by circulating air through the top gap.

To turn the window handle, turn it until it's at 90 degrees to lock position. The sash opens inwards and will be secured by hinges at the bottom. This allows windows to be opened wider which allows for more light and airflow.

Tilt and turn windows are also an ideal choice for people with pets or children who are small since they can be opened from the bottom without allowing them to fall out of the window. The hinge at the bottom prevents them from being opened too much, and so they cannot be smashed by burglars. They are a great option for people looking to reduce their heating costs and increase energy efficiency, since they offer an excellent thermal insulation. This is achieved by using multi chamber profiles and triple or double glazing handle glazing.
