Tilt & Turn Windows
Two ways to open, one considered European detail
Tilt and turn windows are the system European homes are built around, and they remain the most versatile window we supply. A single handle controls two modes: tilted inward at the top for gentle, secure ventilation you can leave open, or turned fully inward like a door for maximum airflow and unobstructed cleaning from inside the room. Because the sash compresses onto a continuous gasket when locked, tilt and turn frames seal exceptionally well against Melbourne's wind-driven rain and street noise.
Profile accreditation

Frame profile
Northstar Window profile
Multi-chambered 70mm uPVC profile with steel reinforcement where the hardware fixes and dual gaskets between sash and frame.
Flyscreens available
Fixed
Fixed external screen. The sash opens inward, so the screen stays in place and out of the way. Perfectly colour matched to the frame.
Security & standards
Multi-point locking as standard
Hardware that locks at several points around the frame rather than one, with toughened or laminated safety glass specified wherever the Australian Standards require it — and laminated available anywhere you want the extra security.
