Flexibility and Security
For those that have Travelled in Central and Southern European Countries such as Germany, France & Spain, the Inward Opening or ‘Tilt And Turn’ Window will be a Familiar Sight. In its Full Tilt & Turn Configuration, the Window Offers True Flexibility for a Wide Variety of Applications, it can be Swung Open Like a Door or Just Tilted at the Top for Ventilation with One Handle Controlling Both Operations.
When the DK88 Inward Opening Window is Tilted at the Top the Breeze is let in while Rain is Deflected Outwards. The Design Maximises Draft Free Ventilation, as Heat Escapes from the Top while Air Enters and Exits from the Sides. The DK88 Tilt & Turn Window has a Mechanism that Locks Into Place when Tilted, ensuring the Windows Security from any Potential Intrusions. All in All, an Excellent Choice for Situations where a Window Ideally Needs to be Left Open for Ventilation Purposes without the Worry of Security & Wet Weather Considerations.
When Fully Opened Inward, the Large Clear Opening can be used for Emergency Access and also Facilitates Easy Cleaning.
