Tilt or turn, turn or tilt, functional and flexible uPVC Tilt and Turn Windows
Introducing the Aluplast tilt and turn windows from VUE Windows, designed for a range of applications with a strong focus on versatility and security. These windows are equipped with two distinct opening mechanisms: they can swing inward for easy cleaning and optimal ventilation, or tilt from the top to allow safe, controlled airflow while preventing falls and deterring intruders due to the restricted opening size.
Crafted with a wide multi-chambered profile, our windows excel in providing superb thermal and acoustic insulation. They feature an optimal wall thickness for robust glass installation, an inboard Eurogroove to enhance security measures, and a reinforcement chamber designed to resist high wind pressures. The windows also include internal glazing for added security, and dual compression seals to maximise energy efficiency and protect against water, dust, and air infiltration. Tailored to withstand strong and severe weather conditions, these windows are available with glazing options ranging from a minimum of 4mm to over 32mm thickness, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic appeal for any environment.

FAQ’s
What are tilt and turn windows?
Tilt and turn windows are versatile European-style windows that offer two distinct ways of opening: swinging inwards like a door (turn) for maximum ventilation and easy cleaning, or tilting inward from the top (tilt) to allow for secure, controlled airflow.
Can tilt and turn windows be customised to fit different architectural styles?
Yes, tilt and turn windows can be customised to fit various architectural styles. They are available in a wide range of materials, colours, and finishes, and can accommodate glazing thicknesses from 4mm to 32mm, allowing for a high degree of customisation to match any décor or building requirements.
What makes uPVC a suitable material for windows and doors?
uPVC is incredibly versatile and suited for various applications beyond construction, including in everyday items. It is durable, resistant to environmental conditions, and offers superior insulation properties. uPVC windows and doors provide great energy efficiency, and sound insulation, and are cost-effective compared to wood or aluminium alternatives.
How are Aluplast uPVC windows constructed to ensure quality and performance?
Aluplast uPVC windows are built using advanced German engineering, featuring multi-chamber systems for excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. These windows include co-extruded gaskets for better sealing, and steel reinforcements within the frame and sash to enhance stability and load-bearing capacity.
How do Aluplast uPVC windows enhance energy efficiency and environmental protection?
Aluplast uPVC windows are designed to minimise energy losses, enhancing the thermal efficiency of your home. This not only helps in conserving increasingly scarce resources but also reduces pollutant emissions. The energy performance of these windows is measured by the U-value, which indicates the window’s ability to conduct heat. A lower U-value means better insulation properties, resulting in less energy required for heating or cooling, thereby promoting environmental protection and improving living comfort.
What is NatHERS?
The Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) is mandatory in Australia and determines the energy rating for new homes and renovations. Under NatHERS, every home is assessed by its thermal performance out of a score of 10. It’s required that all homes have a minimum 7-star rating, the higher the rating is the more comfortable your living conditions will be.
What Does a 7-star Rating Mean?
A 7 star rating means your home is liveable under the NatHERS scheme. The rating is based on your thermal performance, which assesses how efficiently your home uses and stores energy for heating and cooling. With a 7-star rating, your home will be cheaper to heat and cool throughout the year and better withstand harsh weather conditions.
This can help you save hundreds of dollars on your energy bills and support the government’s long-term policy regarding a net zero emissions future by 2050.
How Important is it to Have a Good Orientation to Achieve 7-Star Standards?
Firstly, “Good Orientation” refers to the position of your home about the Sun’s path. While it is not mandatory to have good orientation, it can be beneficial in achieving a 7-star thermal rating.
The key to achieving a 7-star rating lies in the quality of your windows and doors. We offer various designs of uPVC windows and doors crafted using Aluplast technology.
This technology already meets the minimum 7-star requirements set by NatHERS. If you’re unsure if your windows and doors meet the new standards, contact us now to review their quality.
