Choosing the right windows for your home can sometimes be an issue, given how many different types and styles there are. However, one of the more popular choices is European-style tilt and turn windows. Below are but a few of the perks these windows can bring to your home.

Durability

Any window should be long-lasting and durable in addition to looking good. Luckily, European-style tilt and turn windows are designed with durability in mind to provide long-lasting performance. With features like a steel-reinforced frame to a compression seal sash with two weather seals, these windows can provide lasting function and style without draining your wallet.

Energy-Efficient

Saving money on home upkeep like energy bills is always a welcome thing, and with tilt and turn windows that’s one of their major features. By using certain materials and production methods, these windows can work to better regulate indoor temperatures, which improves energy efficiency and contributes to lower heating and cooling costs with up to 30% in savings.

Sound Reduction

Although not often thought about quality for windows, tilt and turn styles work to provide substantial noise reduction qualities and lead to less noise in the rooms they’re installed in. The windows’ rubber seals and multi-point locking mechanisms create an airtight seal that not only limits noise but also improves insulation.

Increased Security

Safety for your home and your family is incredibly important, so your potentially vulnerable windows and doors should have the right security features. Compared to North American-style windows using one to two locking points, European-style tilt and turn variants use multi-point locking mechanisms for more security. The sash, located at the top of the window, can be tilted inward for better ventilation and an emergency exit if need be. The windows also possess durable hinges alongside internal steel reinforcement that make it next to impossible to pry it away from its hinges when in the closed position. The windows also can’t be fully opened from outside when in the tilt position, allowing you to get some air without jeopardizing security.
