A European style window is a type of window that is commonly found in homes and buildings throughout Europe. These windows are characterized by their clean, sleek lines and minimalistic design, which gives them a modern and sophisticated look. One of the key features of European style windows is the tilt and turn function. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, European style windows are also highly functional. They are often made with high-quality materials, such as aluminum or PVC, which makes them energy efficient and durable. Overall, European style windows are a popular choice for those who want a modern, streamlined look for their home or building.
There are a few different types of windows in Europe. Different types of windows have different functions. Tilt and turn windows are one of the most common types of windows in Europe. This window combines several functions: the tilt and turn window opens inwards and has two opening modes. Thus, there are three positions in which the window can be. When the window is closed, this is both the initial position and the position when the window is closed again. The tilt position is used for permanent controlled ventilation. The advantage of this position is that when it rains outside, a constant flow of oxygen can enter the interior without it raining in. The turn position opens the window sash completely by slightly swinging it to the side. This makes shock ventilation and cleaning the window a breeze. The various functions can be combined within the house to create drafts etc., and make the most of the window in a variety of ways throughout the house. Tilt and turn windows are used throughout the house, from the basement to the attic. You prefer to stay basic and not spend a lot of money? Then we have the standard white version for you, just as we can also offer you fully equipped, modern premium tilt and turn windows. Here it all depends on your taste. Thanks to the innovative hardware technology, tilt and turn windows can also be unhung.

How to open european style windows with tilt and turn function
European windows owe their technology and smooth functionality to the tilt and turn fitting. This is mounted on the sash and frame and ensures perfect cooperation despite the great load. Since the tilt and turn fitting is one of the most important parts of the entire window, it is essential to ensure high quality and stability. If the window sash is opened wide to the side, there is an opening angle up to almost 180°. This makes the European windows trouble-free and also they are easy to clean from the inside. The stop of the sash can be freely chosen either to DIN left (window handle right) or to DIN right (window handle left). You may be worried about your children or pets when windows open so widely. However, there are a number of child safety devices and protective functions. For example, a turnstile can be mounted on the frame, even later, or the lockable cross on the window frame, which only allows the window to be opened in the tilt position, can be used.

The tilt and turn window is a German invention. Well-known manufacturers such as aluplast also have their headquarters here. For us Germans, this type of window is so normal that we don't really notice that we are once again leading an industry. It is also interesting and at the same time funny for us, or rather for many Europeans in general, to see how non-European people, e.g. travelers from the USA and Canada, are fascinated by our windows.
In fact, it is also worth it for citizens from overseas to think about buying European windows. With all due respect my North American friends, domestic products such as single or double hung windows are far from matching German/European windows in terms of quality and energy efficiency. Our range consisting of tilt and turn windows, standard casement windows or high quality lift and slide doors and very much more - our offer exceeds the quality and energy efficiency.
An unassuming, simple looking PVC window can be a pro at saving energy with its multi-chamber technology, thermal break, etc.
Our windows even achieve passive house standards in certain combinations and innovative technologies such as high pressure foam filling. Security is very important in Europe, which is why the basic level of burglary protection is already quite good. Nevertheless you can configure everything even better, freely choose colors and install special glazing if you like. European windows are available inward-opening and outward-opening, side-hanging or top-hanging, and we also offer French window models.

Installation example of a window with top-mounted roller shutter
Roller shutters are the definition of functionality. On the one hand, they provide security - by denying uninvited foreign intruders direct access to the window or door. On the other hand, they provide protection against strong sunlight or severe frost, protection from prying eyes and causes complete darkness in the room when fully closed.
The transformation towards modernity and automatism has also hit our industry. Smart home solutions provide convenient and comfortable operation of electric shutters through innovative controls. Furthermore, you can automate the raising and lowering and thus conveniently integrate the technology into your own everyday life.
In case of absence, it also suggests to potential burglars that someone is still supposedly in the house. Control via cell phone allows complete transparency, they have everything under control on the go, all this with our top roller shutters from Germany. Convince yourself!

But is it even worth buying European windows online and importing them to the USA?
Yes it is definitely worth it, because what we have noticed while analyzing the US and Canadian window market is relatively high prices for basic window contructions. For this reason, the basic price of the window system is definitely less expensive in Germany and we also plan to transfer this price advantage to US and Canadian customers! Consequently, the price of the window itself is lower and the only factor that affects the benefits of having German windows in the USA and Canada are the costs of transport/shipping. For this reason fensterblick.de has decided to export in size of containers only, because it has advantages for you as a customer but for us as a seller as well. Cleverly calculated, your project should therefore be a lot more favorable or be at least in the same price range. Additionally you have to admit: technologies behind German windows are on a top level, they are very energy efficient, very tight, quit and safe!
