Tilt-turn windows use multi-point locks and compression seals to reduce air leakage, boost energy efficiency, and improve comfort—key advantages over traditional double-hung units. This guide compares operation, performance, maintenance, cost, and use cases, and explains when tilt-turn makes sense for new builds and deep retrofits—and when a traditional double-hung may still be the right fit.

Not every draft means new windows. This guide shows how to diagnose repairable issues (hardware, weatherstripping, IGUs) versus problems that justify full replacement—and why GALAA’s European tilt-and-turn systems are best specified for new builds and deep retrofits, not retail swap-outs

See how energy-efficient, tilt-and-turn windows from GALAA lower heating and cooling bills by improving U-factor, SHGC, and air-leakage—plus guidance on rebates and installation.
