Your Questions Answered

Have a question? You're not alone. We've answered some of the most common questions about our tilt-in windows below, drawing from years of expertise helping homeowners and professionals achieve their vision.

What is a tilt-in window?

A tilt-in window opens by tilting the top edge of the sash inward, creating a restricted gap at the top of the frame. This provides continuous background ventilation while limiting the opening to a few centimetres - improving security and preventing accidental falls. Unlike a tilt and turn window, a tilt-in window offers only the tilt ventilation mode, not a full inward-opening turn function.

How does a tilt-in window differ from a tilt and turn window?

A tilt-in window provides tilt ventilation only - the sash does not open fully. A tilt and turn window offers both modes: tilt for background ventilation and full inward turn for maximum airflow and cleaning access. 

Where secure background ventilation is the primary requirement and full opening is not needed, a tilt-in is a simpler and more cost-effective specification.

Are tilt-in windows suitable for bedrooms?

Yes. Tilt-in windows are well-suited to bedrooms, children's rooms, and upper-floor applications where secure overnight ventilation is needed without the risk of the window being pushed fully open.

The restricted opening also satisfies Building Regulations requirements for restricted openings in rooms accessible to children.

Do tilt-in windows provide adequate ventilation?

Yes, for background and thermal ventilation purposes. The top-tilt opening creates a convective air movement: cooler external air enters low and warm internal air exits high.

For active or cross-ventilation, a fully opening window is more effective. In Passive House and mechanically ventilated buildings, tilt ventilation supplements MVHR.

Are tilt-in windows thermally efficient?

Yes. Tilt-in windows in Norrsken's range share the same profile systems and glazing specification as all other opening configurations.

In closed and sealed mode, they achieve the same whole-window Uw values as equivalent turn-in or casement windows - below 0.80 W/m²K in triple-glazed Passive House configurations.
