Tilt-and-turn aluminium windows made of wood are an excellent choice for both contemporary and more historically informed homeowners who wish to maximise ventilation and natural light in their dwellings. Wooden tilt and turn windows, contrary to common assumption, can also improve a home's thermal efficiency.
Since air leakage is responsible for a significant amount of heat loss in the average home, we recognise the need of achieving maximum thermal efficiency. Because of their design, our tilt-and-turn windows made of natural wood are exceptionally good at keeping the heat in.
Our wooden tilt and turn windows are built to last, with thick wood frames, high-grade glass panes, and airtight polymer seals to keep the chill out of your home.
In this article, we'll take a closer look at these characteristics to demonstrate why Timber Windows tilt and turn windows are the greatest option for maintaining your home's energy efficiency during winter.
Stable Wooden Frame Materials
Building thermally efficient wooden tilt and turn windows that will keep your home toasty through the harsh winters requires a high-quality wooden window frame. While wood is inherently insulating, the quality of insulation can be greatly diminished by processing or other changes to the wood's structure.
Suppliers may utilise layered timber to ensure the structural soundness of their wooden frames. This multilayer timber structure, common in Scandinavia and Northern Europe, is excellent for insulating wooden windows and doors by preventing the wood from warping or twisting.
Timber Windows' wooden tilt and turn windows, like all of our other products, are made from engineered timber.
Because the wood's grains run in opposite directions, any moisture is dispersed equally throughout the channels. This dispersal reduces the likelihood that the wood would twist or crack severely in wet conditions, which can let air in and cause heat to escape.
Second, all glass panels are double-glazed.
If you want energy-efficient wooden tilt and turn windows, you must also use the right sort of glazing.
Most window installations have either single- or double-glazed glass panelling, with the latter typically being favoured for its contribution to heat retention. However, developments in technology have allowed panelling options to expand beyond mere double glazing.
While double glazing on its own can reduce heat loss, we take extra measures by filling our tilt-and-turn windows with insulating argon gas. Due to its density, argon gas is widely employed by window manufacturers as an insulation technique to further reduce heat loss.
Because of this, all of our wooden windows feature twin panes of glass with argon gas in between them.
Timber Windows' improved, thermally insulating glass is standard on all of their hardwood tilt and turn windows. Windows made of wood using this cutting-edge glass have a very low U-value, meaning they retain heat very well.

Tilt and turn windows made with quality window seals are also quite efficient in terms of energy conservation. If the seals around your windows wear down, your home could be at risk for draughts and mould growth. The results of this are a soaring energy bill and a window frame that has twisted and rotted away.
Our vinyl perimeter seals, rubber capillary seals, and polymer seals effectively prevent air and water leakage through our timber tilt and turn windows, solving this issue for our clients. Our tilt and turn windows have custom slots on the inside and the exterior that the seals fit into flawlessly, creating a seamless seal.
