When the window is closed the window is locked. When the handle is in an upward vertical position, the sash will be turned inwards by around 20 degrees. This is a comfortable and effective method of ventilation, since it allows air to flow through the gap at the top.

To turn the window handle, rotate it until it is 90 degrees to lock position. The sash opens inward and is firmly held by the hinges on the bottom. This allows the windows to be opened further which allows for more light and ventilation.

They are also a great choice for families with children or pets as they can be opened from the bottom, but without allowing the child to fall out. The hinge at the bottom stops them from being opened too much and they are therefore unable to be broken by burglars. They are also an excellent choice for those who want to cut down on their heating bills and increase energy efficiency as they provide a good level of thermal insulation. This is achieved by using a multi-chamber profile and double or triple glazing.
