The backset is the distance from the baseplate of the window to the underside of the handle's nose. As a general rule Aluminium window frames typically have a backset of 9mm, whereas UPVC uses 21mm.

Tilt and Turn

The premium European window style of tilt and turn has been around in Europe for a long time, however it's just now beginning to take off in the United States. They combine the functionality of three different window types into one - tilt, pivot, and in-swing. They are great for older homes since they provide more ventilation than standard windows.

When in the closed position tilt and turn windows close like the normal fixed window. By turning the handle 90@ or 180@, based on the tilt-and-turn type of window, the sash will open inwards, and the window will turn inward to allow air exchange. This is a great method to allow air circulation without having to open the large windows that could be dangerous.

If the handle is turned another 90@ or 180@ the sash can be fully opened, much like doors. This allows complete air circulation, which is particularly useful in rooms that are chilly or homes where odors from smoke or other sources are likely to accumulate. This makes it easier to clean the outside of the glass, as you can do it from inside your home. This is a job that can be a risky task.
