Tilt & Turn Windows in Dubai — Two Windows in One
Turn the handle once and the window tilts inward for secure, draught-free ventilation; turn it again and it swings fully open like a door.
Tilt & turn windows are the European standard for good reason: one sash, two functions. In tilt mode the window leans inward from the top a few centimetres — enough for continuous fresh air while staying secure and rain-safe. In turn mode it swings fully inward, giving wide-open airflow and making the outer glass trivially easy to clean from inside.
The dual-action hardware locks at multiple points around the full perimeter, which is why tilt & turn windows are also among the most secure and best-sealing operable windows made. Makfold builds them with thermal-break aluminium profiles in our own UAE facility, in any RAL colour.

One handle controls both actions: turned 90° the sash tilts inward from the top for ventilation; turned 180° the whole sash swings inward like a casement. Concealed European hardware sequences the two movements safely.
Tilt & turn hardware is more sophisticated than standard hinged or sliding gear, so they sit toward the premium end of window pricing. The exact figure depends on size, glass and finish — we give a fixed, itemised quote after a free site visit anywhere in the UAE.
Very. Locking points run around the entire sash perimeter rather than one edge, and in tilt mode the window stays engaged with the frame — you can ventilate overnight without leaving an accessible opening.
Tilt & turn if you value secure ventilation, inward cleaning and the tightest operable seal; hinged if you want maximum outward-opening airflow and a more traditional look. See our hinged windows page to compare — or ask at your free site visit.
