Tilt-and-turn windows · Made in Canada

Canadian-made wood tilt-and-turn windows.

Secure ventilation, full inward opening and high-performance compression sealing in one window—crafted in Duncan, British Columbia, in all-wood or wood-aluminum-clad construction.

Two exterior expressions

Every product. All wood or wood-aluminum clad.

Both begin with the same engineered timber structure and the same warm, genuine-wood interior. The choice is about exterior expression, exposure, maintenance and budget.

01

All wood

Real wood is visible inside and outside. It offers the fullest natural-material expression and typically the lower initial cost.

  • Best for protected or thoughtfully detailed elevations
  • Maximum species, stain and paint flexibility
  • Exterior finish needs periodic inspection and care
02

Wood-aluminum clad

A ventilated, powder-coated aluminum skin protects the exterior while the full warmth of timber remains visible inside.

  • Ideal for high exposure and lower-maintenance goals
  • Broad exterior colour selection
  • Higher initial investment for added weather protection

One handle. Two useful ways to open.

Turn the handle upward and the sash tilts inward at the top for controlled ventilation. Turn it horizontally and the window swings fully inward for cleaning, access and generous airflow. Multipoint hardware locks the sash around its perimeter when closed.

  • Top-tilt position supports secure, controlled ventilation
  • Full inward turn makes exterior glass easier to reach from inside
  • Multipoint locking is controlled from one central handle
  • Tilt-before-turn, micro-ventilation and magnetic-assist options
  • Visible or concealed hinges and factory insect screens available

Choose the frame around the performance target.

Fenstür offers 78 mm and 106 mm engineered timber systems in all-wood and wood-aluminum-clad configurations. Glass, hardware and frame depth are selected together for the opening size, climate, exposure and energy goal.

  • Double-pane, triple-pane and specialized glazing packages
  • All-wood interiors or powder-coated aluminum exterior cladding
  • Custom sizes, shapes and coordinated fixed-window combinations
  • Passive House Certified 106 mm configurations available

European-inspired engineering without importing the windows.

Fenstür brings the operation and compression-seal logic associated with European tilt-and-turn windows together with Canadian manufacturing, NAFS-tested configurations and project support in North American time zones. The result is a system designed for the architecture and climate here, with the factory close enough to stay involved.

  • Manufactured, finished, glazed and inspected in Duncan, BC
  • Project review and technical communication without overseas coordination
  • Local finish matching, replacement-part support and service knowledge
  • Protected shipping across Canada and the United States
  • Custom capability beyond the configurations shown online

Simple technical overview

Useful numbers. Confirmed for your exact configuration.

OperationTilt-and-turn or tilt-only

Full tilt-and-turn opens inward in both positions; room clearances should be reviewed during design.

ConstructionAll wood or wood-aluminum clad

Both configurations preserve a genuine wood interior; cladding adds a powder-coated exterior skin.

Frame systems78 mm + 106 mm

The applicable system depends on size, glass, performance target and certification requirements.

GlazingDouble, triple + specialized packages

Low-e coatings, warm-edge spacers, safety glass, privacy glass and project-specific make-ups are available.

Sash capacityUp to 330 lb / 150 kg

Maximum dimensions and weights depend on hardware, glass and the approved configuration.

PerformanceNAFS-tested + Passive House options

Use configuration-specific reports and certification documents for project compliance.

Sizes and ratings depend on product type, operation, glass, exposure and current tested limits. Fenstür confirms the applicable values with the quotation.

01

Daily comfort

Ventilate without committing to a wide-open window.

The top-tilt position creates an opening along the upper edge of the sash. It is useful when a room needs steady airflow without the footprint of a fully open casement, while the inward-turn position remains available when more ventilation or access is wanted.

  • Useful for bedrooms, kitchens and living spaces
  • Inward operation avoids an exterior-projecting sash
  • Interior furniture, blinds and clearances should be planned early
02

Compression sealing

The same hardware that opens the window helps secure it.

Multipoint locking engages around the sash and draws it against continuous perimeter seals. Glass, frame depth and hardware can then be configured around insulation, air tightness, water resistance, solar gain, sound control and total sash weight.

03

Design freedom

Real wood inside. The exterior expression you choose.

Choose an all-wood window for a continuous natural material expression or add aluminum cladding for a low-maintenance powder-coated exterior. Douglas fir, hemlock, oak, walnut and other species can be paired with clear finishes, stains, solid colours and custom-matched palettes.

  • Coordinated finishes across windows, entry doors and lift-and-slide systems
  • Visible or concealed hinge options
  • Custom fixed-and-operable combinations and architectural shapes
  • Profile-changing technology available in applicable combinations
04

Selecting a system

Start with the project, not a generic specification.

Opening size, orientation, exposure, desired glass area, interior clearances and energy targets all affect the right configuration. Fenstür can work with homeowners, builders, architects and energy consultants to confirm the practical system before production.

  • Share approximate sizes, drawings and project location
  • Identify Passive House, Net Zero or other performance targets
  • Note finish, cladding, hardware and insect-screen preferences
  • Use the Webshop path for eligible streamlined configurations

Frequently asked

Useful answers before you begin.

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.
