European Designed Tilt-and-Turn Window Technology has been widely used for many decades. This unique design allows you to tilt the window in from the top, elmininating direct drafts at lower levels and providing you with a comfortable exchange of air. The stale warm air exits at the top and the cooler fresh air enters around the sides. The inward turn function of the window allows for easy cleaning or fire exit.


"Turn" the handle to display the Tilt-and-Turn concept.
Easy Care & Maintenance:

  • Vinyl Surface: Vinyl is easy to clean and requires only diluted dish detergent and water to clean and retain its shine. Dust and pollution dirt are normal and easily cleaned. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents or stripping compounds. For tough marks or dirt, try non-abrasive kitchen cleaning creams or automotive vinyl cleaners. Some marks such as felt tip pens penetrate the surface and should be professionally removed.
  • Caring for Tilt-and-Turn Hardware: Once a year, all moving contact points should have a light spray of silicone lubricant.
  • Caring for Glass: Use normal household glass cleaner.

    Options:

  • Grills: Allow you to make the larger thermo unit look like smaller, individual panes of glass. The most common style is white aluminum in between the glass of the thermo unit. We also have an exterior grill that can be applied to the glass.
  • Intermittent Stop Arm: An option that can be added to the sash, allowed you to hold the sash at any position on the turn when opening the window.
  • Custodial Locks: Prevent the window from turning in, except with a tool to do so. This allows the window to tilt in, but the custodian would be able to turn the window in to clear or do maintenance. Usually used in commercial applications.
  • 3/4" Return: A 3/4" wide channel that attaches around the interior of the window to build out the window with 3/4" wood to be flush with the surface of the interior wall.
  • Vinyl Corner Profile: An L-Shaped vinyl trim that can be used on the exterior between the brickmold of the window and the siding on the wall, or can be used on the interior to build out the window to the interior wall thickness.
  • 1 1/2" or 1" Brickmold with nail flange, can be regular or c/w J-channel if required for vinyl siding. 4 corners mitered and welded.
  • Sill Extension: For brick siding, a vinyl extension that attaches to the bottom of the window to extend out over the brick. The sill extension will increase the frame size by 5/8" in height.


  • Warm Edge Technology
    Warm Edge Technology is the material used to separate or provide a space between the panes of glass and it is less conductive than using a conventional aluminum spacer bar. This means the edge of the glass stays warmer in the winter. Features include:

  • Super Spacer® is made of 100 percent foam.
  • Super Spacer's NO-Metal formula blocks the heat escape path.
  • Super Spacer's NO-Metal construction make it less conductive than spacers containing metal.
  • Super Spacer helps prevent condensation on window surfaces.
  • The closed-cell polymer foam in Super Spacer transmits very little sound.

  • The Super Spacer all Foam, No Metal Formula Advantage


    Reduces Condensation:
    The world's warmest edge occurs with Super Spacer, reduce the occurrence of condensation by increasing the glass edge temperature. In winter, warmer indoor glass temperature means greater comfort. Less condensation will reduce the chance of rot and mildew, which untimately results in longer sealed unit and window life. Super Spacer Helps Prevent Condensation and Mold, Super Spacer is the Best Choice for Health and Comfort.

    Reduces Heat Loss: Unlike metal-based spacers, the all foam construction of Super Spacer is non-conductive, blocking heat flow through the wondow. By blocking the heat escape path, Super Spacer provides one of the best thermal performances in the industry.

    Appearance: Super Spacer is a dual seal insulating glass system. The No Metal structural Foam Spacer reduces energy costs, provides long life durability and adds both comfort and value to your home. Choose health smart windows made with Super Spacer.
