Single Hung Tilt Window Features

Our single hung tilt windows combine ​emergency compliance with ​innovative cleaning access, engineered for basement egress and simplified maintenance. Featuring a tilt-out bottom sash with 45° pivot action and 0.5″ laminated safety glass, these units deliver:

​Code-compliant egress – 20″×36″ clear opening exceeds IRC 2025 requirements for emergency exits
​Tilt-cleaning system – Removable sash allows interior glass cleaning without exterior access
​Energy efficiency – Dual weatherstripping achieves U-factor 0.30 (ENERGY STAR® certified)

Technical innovations include:
​Child-safe tilt mechanism – Push-button release restricts sash removal without tools
​Impact-resistant frames – 2.5mm reinforced vinyl withstands 150 PSF wind pressure (ASTM E330)
​UV-blocking glass – Low-E coating rejects 78% solar heat gain (SHGC 0.22)

Benefits of Single Hung Tilt Windows

1. Safety & Compliance
​5-second emergency exit – Quick-release sash meets NFPA 101 fire escape standards
​Shatter-resistant design – Tempered glass fragmentation control (CPSC 16 CFR 1201)

2. Maintenance Efficiency
​Tilt-in cleaning – Wipe both glass surfaces from indoors
​Durable construction – Fiberglass-reinforced frames resist warping in 15-95% humidity

3. Energy Savings
​**$380/year savings** – Thermal breaks reduce HVAC costs by 24% vs standard models
​Air infiltration control – <0.10 CFM leakage rating outperforms building codes

4. Space Optimization
​Compact operation – Vertical sliding requires only 6″ clearance
​Basement adaptation – Fits 36″ window wells with inward tilt clearance

5. Security Enhancement
​Anti-lift devices – Prevent sash removal from exterior
​Multi-point locking – 3-stage engagement withstands 200lb forced entry attempts
