Question 5

What is a tilt-and-turn window?

Accepted Answer

A tilt-and-turn window is a European-style window with two opening modes. In tilt mode, the top of the sash tilts inward for ventilation while remaining secure. In turn mode, the sash opens fully like a casement door for maximum airflow and easy cleaning. Tilt-and-turn windows use compression seals and multi-point locking hardware that engage at multiple points around the frame, providing far superior airtightness and security compared to traditional double-hung windows.

Question 6

Are GALAA windows suitable for Passive House projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GALAA windows are specifically designed for Passive House and Net-Zero Energy building projects. Our glass packages achieve U-factors as low as 0.15, and both the CoreLine and ProLine systems feature double and triple gasket sealing options that help builders meet blower door test requirements without additional treatments around the frames. GALAA is NFRC certified for Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, and the cold-climate Northeast.
