Aluminium Tilt and Turn Windows

Why choose aluminium tilt and turn windows?

Tilt and turn aluminium windows offer a dual-action mechanism: tilt the top of the sash inwards for gentle, rain-proof ventilation, or turn the entire sash inward for a full breezy opening. The robust aluminium frame keeps sight-lines slim while delivering structural strength, corrosion resistance and an impressive lifespan—especially important in coastal regions from Perth to Melbourne.

Key advantages

• Energy efficiency: Combine thermally broken frames with low-E or double glazing for Uw values that meet or beat NCC requirements.
• Security: Multi-point locking hardware and internal beading deter forced entry.
• Easy cleaning: When in the ‘turn’ position, both sides of the glass are accessible from inside—ideal for upper storeys.
• Space saving: Inward operation avoids projecting sashes that can clash with external shutters or pathways.

Performance & compliance

Under Australia’s windows category, tilt and turn units must comply with AS 2047 for weatherproofing, strength and safety glazing. For detailed guidance on wind loads, water penetration and acoustic ratings, consult the non-profit Australian Glass & Window Association standards.

Design considerations

• Frame depth: Thermally broken profiles are bulkier than standard aluminium; confirm wall build-up early.
• Glazing packages: Triple glazing or laminated interlayers upgrade thermal and acoustic performance but add weight—ensure hinges and stay arms are rated accordingly.
• Hardware finishes: Powder-coated, anodised or wood-grain wraps let you coordinate with façade palettes.
• Balustrade integration: In multi-residential projects, consider Juliet balconies when specifying inward-opening ‘turn’ mode above ground level.

Cost snapshot (installed, incl. GST)

Prices vary by size and spec, but a 1200 × 1500 mm double glazed tilt and turn aluminium window typically ranges from AU$1,200–$1,900 in Sydney, with thermally broken or acoustic units reaching AU$2,500+. Bulk orders and metro locations (e.g. aluminium tilt and turn windows Melbourne projects) attract sharper rates.

Installation & maintenance

Qualified installers will plumb, level and anchor the frame using packers and expanding foam, ensuring drainage paths remain clear. Annual checks of gaskets, multi-point locks and handle tension keep operation smooth. Broken aluminium double glazed tilt and turn windows should be serviced promptly to maintain airtightness.
