Window Coverings for Tilt & Turn Windows and Doors

We often get asked what to do with curtains or blinds when we make tilt and turn windows for our clients. Here are some possible answers including the latest in window furnishings.

With a double or triple glazed Paarhammer window you should only need curtains or blinds for privacy and decoration, not for insulation to keep the cold or heat out. Having said that, it is always important to shade your windows from the summer sun with the best results achieved by external shading, especially on the western side of your home.

Curtains for tilt & turn windows

How far inward a window tilts depends on where it is installed within the wall. Some of our window clients use curtains on rods or within pelmets mounted to the wall above the window or with a track mounted on or recessed into the ceiling.

Venetian blinds for tilt & turn windows

Mini venetian blinds installed within the recess of the glass beads is a very neat option, especially if a fixing at the bottom of the blind is included so that the blind sits on the glass itself and moves with the window or door.

This option has been developed further and a vastly improved version has recently arrived in Australia. Blinds or venetians can now be installed with their own frame in the glass bead recess for a snug fit. This solution also allows for ventilation with the window in a tilted position, and of course, shade and privacy, and installation is quick and easy without the need for screws.

These products come in a variety of colours for the frame and the blinds, both to fit your windows or doors, and to fit into your overall decor. Without the use of cords this is a child safe solution, and window and door frames, and window sills, are free of clutter enabling clean lines throughout the home. A range of fabrics are offered, including block out fabrics for bedrooms, and moisture resistant fabrics for bathrooms.

Stylish and simple solutions for your home, perfect for use with Paarhammer tilt and turn windows.
