Sash or tilt-and-turn? They're very different windows. Here's how they compare.
A sash window slides vertically and suits period looks. A tilt-and-turn tilts inward at the top for secure ventilation or swings fully open — a modern, highly functional design with excellent sealing.
If you want period character, sash. If you want ventilation, sealing, and easy cleaning, tilt-and-turn wins comfortably — it's the more functional window by some distance.
Sash suits period character with its vertical slide; tilt-and-turn is far more functional — tilting for secure ventilation, swinging fully open for cleaning, and sealing tightly with multi-point locking.
Tilt-and-turn — its multi-point locking pulls the sash tight against gaskets all round. Sash windows are harder to seal as well.
Tilt-and-turn — it swings fully inward, so you can clean the outside from inside.
