What are Double Slider Tilt Windows?

How do Double Tilt Slider Windows open?

Tilt-in sliding windows have two movable sashes that glide horizontally and independently along a track within the window frame, giving you flexible control over ventilation and airflow. Manufacturers mount each sash on durable rollers or glides for a smooth, effortless operation. Here’s a shortlist of their special features:

• Heavy-duty cam
• Lock and keeper
• Finger latches
• Dual interlocking rails
• Flaps for drainage
• Fly maze so that bugs won’t get in
• Night latches
• Screen with an overlapping frame

You can tilt both sashes inward from the vertical plane to clean the exterior glass from inside your home — a significant advantage for upper floors or hard-to-reach areas. Inside the frame, the multichamber sashes sit within interlocking rails that help seal the window when closed to prevent drafts and improve energy efficiency.

1. Unlock the sash using a cam lock, latch or operating handle
2. Slide it left or right along the track
3. To tilt the window inside, you need to release a tilt latch mechanism (it is usually located at the top of the sash or on its left side)

The wide glass surface of double tilt slider windows also maximizes natural light and offers clear, panoramic views. Overall, they are a smart choice for modern homes that need a boost in energy efficiency, effectiveness, and aesthetic appeal.
