Tilt and slide windows are attractive and functional windows for the modern home. A tilt and slide window is composed of a bottom hinge in-tilt awning window with a sliding mechanism and offers the same advantages of tilt and turn windows such as easy cleaning and adequate ventilation. Tilt and slide windows can be opened up to ninety degrees, making it a possible egress in case of emergencies.

The sliding feature allows maximum ventilation during warm weather and makes it easy for you to open up large windows without using up indoor space. The window has to be in a closed position first before you can use the tilt-in feature.

Types of Tilt and slide windows:

Tilt and slide windows come in aluminum materials which may be coated in standard colours or any of a wide range of colours. Aluminum is lightweight, pliable and does not warp easily.

On the other hand, wood tilt and slide windows provide timeless appeal, have good insulation properties and only require occasional maintenance to retain its natural finish. Wood tilt and slide windows are available in mahogany, Spanish and red cedar, pine and other wooden varieties. They also come in PVC and combination aluminum-wood varieties.

PVC is durable, inexpensive, and lightweight and resists fading while hybrid aluminum-wood windows combine elegance and advanced engineering at a higher price. The aluminum-wood tilt and slide windows are preferred by most homeowners because these provide the best features of the two types of materials.

Decorative options:

While tilt and slide windows appear sleek and modern, various decorative options are available to suit your personal style. These include grids, simulated divided lites, beveled, etched or leaded glass and applied radius or gothic corners. You can customize the look of your windows by having them made to measure.

All types of tilt and slide windows enjoy the same advantages of good ventilation, security and convenience. While price and aesthetics are major considerations in choosing the right tilt and slide windows for your home, you should try to get the best window that your money can buy.
