WHY TILT&TURN WINDOWS CAN
MAKE YOU WORK HARD ON A HOT
DAY. AND WHY YOU DON’T HAVE TO.
Have you witnessed someone inventing
their own window stay design? We have.
One of the things about
Tilt&Turn windows is
that, well... they can be
tilted and turned.
A window sash propped
and held in place with a
piece of wood? Yes, that’s
another one.
But do you know something? There’s actually no
need for all this makeshift
creativity because there is
such a thing as a built-in
brake stay. It’s a standard
feature of the Roto NT
Designo Tilt&Turn system.
Now, when you want to
hold the sash open in turn
mode, all you do is move
it to the position you want,
anywhere from 15 to 90
degrees, and turn the handle down into the locked
position. This engages the
brake stay, preventing the
sash from moving in either
direction.
It’s strong enough to hold
any sash steady, even in a
gust of wind.
So there’s no need for
things to get knocked off
window sills, or for the sash
to swing open and make
a dent in the plaster. And
Most of the time, the tilt
mode provides satisfactory
ventilation for most people.
You turn the handle, the top
of the sash moves inwards.
This creates a gap through
which the outside breeze is
free to flow. In temperate
weather it’s usually all the
air you need.
Turn mode? Well, that’s
normally just for cleaning.
Unless...
Unless it’s a very hot day.
Have you seen what happens with Tilt&Turn windows when the temperature
goes above 25°C?
A window, fully open, with
a high-backed chair positioned hold it there? We’ve
seen that.
A large, heavy plant pot
on the window sill, placed
to prevent the sash from
swinging closed? Seen that
one too.
Pull Handle for
Inline Sliding Doors
Hardware supplier VBH has added the Alpha Patio Pull Handle
to its greenteQ range of suited door and window furniture.
VBH advise that inline sliding patio doors can now be
suited with resi-doors and
windows on a whole house
installation as the new handle shares the same design
traits of the other components of their greenteQ
Suite, including the decorative greenteQ groove around
the edge of the backplate.
The new handle is available in
the six standard greenteQ finishes of white, black, PVD Gold,
and Polished, Satin and Smokey
Chromes.
greenteQ Alpha Patio Pull Handle suits the popular Roto and
Yale (Paddock) inline patio locks
and is available with or without a
cylinder hole. Blank outer plates
are available.

‘hassle-free’
there’s definitely no need
to invent your own way of
holding the thing in place.
That’s just the kind of hassle-free way of working you
want on a warm summer’s
day, isn’t it?
