Understanding several major misconceptions about tilt - and - turn windows.
People who have lived or traveled in Europe know that tilt - and - turn windows are completely "standard equipment" in Europe. The vast majority of residential projects use tilt - and - turn windows, especially in Germany. Why do Germans love to use tilt - and - turn windows so much?
Misconception 1. Tilt - and - turn windows will affect the indoor space. The two main functions of a window are - lighting and ventilation. For a tilt - and - turn window, just turning the window to the "tilt" position can achieve the ventilation function.
Misconception 2. Tilt - and - turn windows will affect ventilation.
When the window is tilted, the room can not only be naturally ventilated, but more importantly, the air enters the room from the upper and side parts of the window and will not directly blow onto people's bodies. Especially when the temperature difference between the indoor and outdoor is large, it can greatly reduce the risk of people catching a cold due to direct wind blowing.
Misconception 3. Tilt - and - turn windows will affect lighting.
The lighting performance of a window depends on the light - transmitting performance of the glass. For the lighting requirement of a window, whether the window is in the open, tilted or closed state, light can enter the room through the glass unimpeded. So for the functional requirement of lighting, tilt - and - turn windows fully meet the requirements.
Misconception 4. Tilt - and - turn windows are in the long - term open state.
