Openability and fittings

OPENABILITY

Windows are categorised based on openability as follows:

• Non-openable window
  • Only the frame section is glazed.
  • Used in rooms where the windows can be washed from outside and ventilation is provided by other means.
• Non-openable sash window
  • Window with a glazed sash section.
  • No fittings.
• Turn (side-hung) window
  • Window that opens at the left or right side.
• Tilt window
  • Window that opens at the top.
• Tilt & turn window
  • Changing the position of the handle enables the window to be opened at the side or at the top. Depending on the dimensions, tilt & turn windows can be provided with micro-ventilation.
• Window with combined openability or partially openable/non-openable window.

Windows can also be fitted with window stops – contact one of our sales offices for details (see more here).
