Tilt Only uPVC Windows Melbourne
Tilt only uPVC windows open to a fixed tilt angle and no further. There is no full opening mode — the sash tilts the top inward to a predetermined gap of approximately 10-15cm and is mechanically restricted from opening wider. This makes tilt only windows the specification of choice wherever a ventilation gap is required but a full opening must be prevented — child safety, high-level windows, bathroom ventilation, and buildings where security or insurance requirements limit opening size.
Tilt Only uPVC Windows — Features & Benefits
Built-in restrictor limits opening to a fixed tilt angle — cannot be overridden accidentally or deliberately.
Satisfies Australian building code requirements for maximum opening gaps at specified floor heights.
When closed, multi-point locking compresses the sash against full perimeter gaskets for excellent weather resistance.
Argon-filled double glazed units with Low-E coating as standard.
Suitable for wet area installation. Frame and hardware are moisture-resistant and will not corrode.
Manufactured to your exact dimensions at our Melbourne factory.
Child Safety by Design
Building codes in Australia specify maximum opening gaps for windows above certain floor heights in homes with children. Tilt only windows satisfy these requirements by design — the mechanical restrictor built into the frame physically prevents the window from opening wider than the specified gap. Unlike aftermarket restrictor devices fitted to conventional windows, a tilt only window cannot be accidentally or deliberately overridden. For builders and developers, tilt only windows provide a compliant ventilation solution without the liability of add-on restrictor products.
High-Level and Bathroom Applications
Tilt only windows are ideal for high-level installations — above a kitchen splashback, high on a bathroom wall, or in a clerestory position above door height. In these locations, a full-opening window would be difficult to operate safely and the restricted tilt provides all the ventilation required. In bathrooms and wet areas, the tilted position allows moisture-laden air to escape while preventing rain entry in most weather conditions.
