Opening types
Fixed-glazed window
Window that cannot be opened
Turn window
Window whose sashes (one or two sashes) are opened via a rotational movement around a vertical, fixed axis.
There are two types of turn window, depending on the opening direction: "DIN left" and "DIN right". A "DIN left" sash is a casement of turn windows whose rotational axis is on the left when facing its opening surface. The rotational axis of a "DIN right" sash is on the right.
Tilt window
Window whose sashes are opened inwards around a lower horizontal rotational axis.
Tilt and turn window
Functional combination of the tilt window and the turn window, in which the casement is opened inwards as a side-hung (turn) sash and as a pivot-hung (tilt) sash. The price is very similar to that of the turn window.
Horizontally pivoted sash window
Window whose casement is opened via rotation around any vertical axis that is not situated at the edge of the casement.
Vertical pivot window
Window whose casement is opened via rotation around any horizontal axis that is not situated at the edge of the casement.
Horizontal sliding door
Door/window whose casement (one or more) is opened via a horizontal shift in its plane.
Vertical sliding window
Window that is opened via one or more superposed casements through a vertical shift in its plane.
