Can I install a parallel tilt-and-turn hinge on any type of window?
A parallel tilt-and-turn fitting gives you the option to open your window in two ways – both tilting and turning. It offers both ventilation comfort and easy access for window cleaning.
Although it is useful, you cannot necessarily install a parallel tilt-and-turn fitting on every type of window. The possible applications are directly related to the frame construction and other features of the respective window type. Some of the most important factors to consider are:
- Window frame material: Depending on whether your window is made of wood, vinyl, or aluminum, this can affect the use of a parallel tilt-and-turn fitting.
- Window size: The size of your window can also be a decisive factor. With larger windows, they are usually less practical and efficient.
- Window style: Some window styles, such as sliding windows, are not suitable for the installation of a parallel tilt-and-turn fitting.
It is recommended to seek advice from a professional who can carry out an on-site inspection and recommend the best type of fitting for your specific needs.
