A versatile PVC-U tilt & turn window offering secure ventilation, safe internal cleaning, and excellent thermal performance—ideal for high-rise, commercial, and residential applications.
Application
The Profile 22 Tilt & Turn Window is suitable for a wide range of architectural applications where secure ventilation, safe internal cleaning, and high thermal performance are essential. Its inward-opening design, robust construction, and flexible configuration make it particularly well-suited to medium and high-rise buildings, as well as refurbishment and commercial projects.
High-Rise Residential Developments
Ideal for apartment blocks, student accommodation, and multi-storey housing, the Tilt & Turn Window allows the external face of the sash to be safely cleaned from inside the building. Its tilt-before-turn operation provides secure ventilation, while its thermal performance supports compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations.
Urban and Mixed-Use Buildings
In city-centre and regeneration schemes, this window system offers a sleek, modern solution that complements contemporary architectural styles. Its wide colour range and compatibility with curtain walling systems make it adaptable to a variety of design requirements.
Care Homes and Assisted Living
The inward-opening design and optional restrictors make this system ideal for environments where safety and ease of use are critical. It provides controlled ventilation and easy cleaning access, supporting both resident comfort and operational efficiency.
Commercial and Public Sector Buildings
The Profile 22 Tilt & Turn Window is also suitable for offices, schools, hospitals, and other public buildings. Its durable PVC-U construction and low-maintenance design make it ideal for high-traffic environments, while its secure operation and thermal efficiency contribute to occupant comfort and building performance.
Refurbishment and Retrofit Projects
Thanks to its clean lines, flexible sizing, and inward-opening functionality, this window system is an excellent choice for upgrading existing buildings. It can replace older systems while significantly improving thermal efficiency, security, and aesthetics. It is also suitable for use in conservation areas (subject to planning approval), where a traditional appearance must be maintained alongside modern performance.
