'Tilt & Turn' doors are inward opening with a dual function mechanism. The first turn of the handle through 90° allows the window/door to open inwards, but when the handle is turned through 180° the window/door will tilt inwards at the top to allow for free ventilation while still providing a very high degree of protection against weather. The same mechanism is used in the manufacture of a number of products:

• Tilt & Turn Balcony doors
• Tilt & Turn Folding Sliding Doors
• Tilt & Turn windows (see Tilt & Turn windows)

Materials

Manufactured from preservative treated laminated red pine. Unless specifically requested all laminated pine will also be finger jointed to reduce the incidence of knots and all timber used in manufacture will not exceed 12% moisture content. Available also in hardwoods including laminated larch, mahogany and oak.

Finishes & Colours

• All products are offered with a factory finish. Finish can be either stain or paint finish to choice. A full range of RAL colours is available with the paint finishes.
• Option available for different colour inside and out.
• Factory finish guarantees excellent protection and penetration into end grains. Factory finish assures better bonding between wood and stain/paint research shows bonding is up to 30% better being carried out in controlled environment. 
• Aluminium cladding is available powder coated in white as standard. A full range of RAL colours is also available. 

Glazing

Standard glazing is double sealed glass units with low-energy glass (minimum u value=1.4) Alternative glazing options are available to give increased insulation, high security, solar control or sound insulation.
