What is a tilt-and-turn window?+
A tilt-and-turn window is an inward-opening window with two handle-controlled positions. It tilts inward at the top for controlled ventilation or turns inward from the side for access, cleaning and larger airflow.
Are Fenstür tilt-and-turn windows made in Canada?+
Yes. Fenstür manufactures, finishes, glazes and inspects its tilt-and-turn windows in Duncan, British Columbia, and ships projects across Canada and the United States.
Do tilt-and-turn windows open inward?+
Yes. Both the top-tilt and full-turn positions open toward the interior, so furniture, blinds and interior clearance should be considered during design.
Can tilt-and-turn windows have aluminum cladding?+
Yes. Fenstür offers all-wood and wood-aluminum-clad configurations. Both retain a genuine wood interior, while the clad version adds a powder-coated aluminum exterior skin.
Are Fenstür tilt-and-turn windows Passive House Certified?+
Fenstür offers Passive House Certified tilt-and-turn configurations within its applicable 106 mm product scope. Certification and whole-window values should be confirmed for the exact size, glass and configuration being specified.
Are Canadian-made tilt-and-turn windows easier to support than imported windows?+
Canadian manufacturing can simplify project communication, finish coordination, delivery planning and future parts or service questions. Fenstür provides the European-inspired operation while manufacturing and supporting the product from British Columbia.
