Tilt and Turn window Blinds
Tilt and Turn Window
Tilt-and-turn windows are the most commonly used windows in Germany and northern Countries and are becoming more prominent in NZ. Tilted, they allow fresh air to flow into the room from above and can be made of uPVC, wood, or aluminium. Since they can open completely inwards, window cleaning for tilt-and-turn windows is child’s play.
Tilt and Turn Window Blinds
Blinds for tilt-and-turn windows are mounted on the window sash, the glazing bead, or on the glazing, using a clap mount, drilling, or adhesive.
Blinds can come in various styles, including aluminium Venetian, Roman, roller, pleated, or, most commonly, the Honeycomb blind.
There are many blind models for tilt-and-turn windows; the most common model is the WVS2, which operates both top-down and bottom-up. (see link)
All models and blind styles for tilt-and-turn windows feature an anti-swing mechanism /tension cord that runs on both sides of the blind or side guard. Keeping the blind in place by the window when the window is tilted.
The same models and blind styles can also be mounted on fixed windows (except for the clamp mounting option, which is not applicable) or installed in front of the window in the recess.

Pleated & Honeycomb Blinds
Both blinds, the honeycomb and the pleated blinds, use the same rail systems and mounting options. Pleated blinds and honeycomb blinds look very similar once installed. Both blinds can be operated corded or cordless, top-down & vice versa, or in the classic bottom-up style with lateral guides to ensure the blind stays in place on the window frame even when the window is tilted. Lowering window blinds, even slightly, significantly impacts your privacy, light, and view.
Both pleated blinds and honeycomb blinds can be easily mounted on most window frames, including those made of plastic, as well as on glass panes, walls and ceilings – sometimes even without drilling and screwing.
Blinds’ fabrics feature special functions and properties, such as dust-repellent, flame-retardant, and anti-glare properties for office use, as well as damp room suitability and heat-reflecting laminations for passive insulation. The only difference is the fabric pleat.
*Tensioned models up to max width of 2000cm, and max height of 2300 *Cord-operated models up to max width of 2500mm, and max height of 3000mm
What are pleated blinds
Pleated blinds are one of Europe’s most popular options for tilt-and-turn windows and glass doors. They are made from a single-pleat fabric and feature tiny holes to guide the tension cord through, allowing light to pass through. The elegant, tailor-made pleated blinds fit perfectly into the frames of tilt-and-turn windows and glass doors. The entire collection of pleated blinds fabrics includes an overwhelming range of colours and textures in five transparent or blackout qualities. Depending on the fabric, pleated blinds tend to be more sturdy, with many fabric properties, such as aluminium or Perlex coating on the back, for excellent heat protection, translucent fabrics, as well as anti-fungal properties, glare protection, and other benefits
Honeycomb Blinds
Honeycomb blinds, also called cellular blinds, are always the right choice and offer two advantages over simple pleated blinds: better room darkening properties, as tension cords are internally guided, and better thermal insulation properties, as they are constructed of two pleated fabric layers with insulating air spaces in between to reduce heat loss. Honeycomb blinds for windows and doors make an excellent choice for passive home insulation

Without disturbing points of light and with good luminance adjustability, these window blinds create the ideal conditions for concentrated work. *Hard-wearing, easy-care, and moisture-resistant – the durability of our aluminium Venetian blinds is convincing, making them a good choice for window blinds in kitchens and bathrooms.
