Tilt and Turn Technology
In a world full of IT, microwaves, induction hobs and self cleaning glass, technology is definitely way ahead of me. I have no idea how any of them actually work. Thankfully the in the world of windows (aside from the self-cleaning glass), things are reassuringly straightforward.
A panel of homeowners who had double glazing installed in their homes in the 1980’s were asked about that decision and what they would change if they were installing new windows today. Impressively after over 25 years, very few would change their current glazing options.
The benefit over wood frames, particularly the easy maintenance and durability of uPVC, were significant contributing factors in the panel’s agreement that double glazing was a solid and worthwhile investment in their homes.
However, a few conscientious housewives did say that if there was one thing they would change if they were re-glazing their homes, it would be to have tilt and turn installed. At least a simple tilting frame, allowing you to clean both sides of the pane, is a modern technological improvement that even I can understand and appreciate!
