Tilt | turn
The tilt | turn window is an inward opening
window with both a side and bottom hung
function. The side hung function is primarily
used in connection with cleaning of the out-
side glass while the bottom hung function
(
tilt) is used for the daily ventilation and ai-
ring. Depending on its size, the window may
have closing points all the way around, but it
is operated with only one handle located in
the side sash.
Closed position
When in a closed position, the handle must
face downward.
Tilt - function (bottom-hung)
Turn the handle from its downward closed
position to a horizontal position, then tilt
the sash inwards. This provides a 100 mm
opening.
Turn | function (Side hung)
Turn the handle to the vertical position and
the sash can be opened in a side hung po-
sition. If the ironmongery is operated incor-
rectly, turn the handle to a horizontal posi-
tion, push the sash into the frame rebate
and turn the handle to a vertical position.
Then close the window again by turning the
handle to a locked position. The ironmongery
is now back in its original position. If the side
hung function is used for ventilation, the
sash should be secured against the wind.
The sash is pushed into place in
the frame before activating the
handle and shifting between the
individual functions.
If the turn function is used for ven-
tilation the sash should be secured
from wind gust. The turn function
on windows wider than 1200 mm
should be used for cleaning puposes
only and not as ventilation. On win-
dows of this size only the tilt function
should be used for ventilation.
