Tilt and Turn Windows, Top Swings, and Saddle Pivots, are traditionally aimed at refurbishment projects where there is a high rise element, and a requirement for cleaning to be carried out safely from the inside of the building.

In Scotland, these windows are used traditionally as the mainstay of window design rather than the casement type which is used throughout the remainder of the UK.

Tilt and Turn Windows,

Top Swing and Saddle Pivots offer similar features, notably the fact that they open inwards, which is very distinct from traditional casement windows, and have found favour with many architects and clients who have projects for which an open out window is not suitable.
