Room too high for tilt-and-turn windows?

Hello everyone,

We received feedback from a window manufacturer that they only produce tilt-and-turn windows up to 2.35m. The room height is 2.65m, and we would like to have windows that are roughly ceiling-high and floor-to-ceiling (they open out to the garden). The sash width would be about 0.9m. However, it should not get excessively expensive.

The explanation was that the sashes become too heavy for the tilt mechanism due to the height. Now we had the idea of foregoing the tilt function and using pure turn windows, which can be opened normally but cannot tilt.

Does anyone have experience with this, as our planners said that pure turn windows are (almost) no longer installed. We would be interested both in opinions regarding the renunciation of the tilt mechanism and in pricing and technical experiences with this.

Thank you and best regards!

Do you also want to go out through the door, that is, walk through? If not, you can use half-closed windows, meaning only the lower half is glass, the top is tilt and turn. If you want to go out, I would tend to choose the sliding door anyway.

best regards

So these are our bedrooms, which are on the ground floor and open out to the garden. Therefore, we definitely want to be able to go outside from there. We are talking about a total window width of 2 meters. So far, it was planned with a fixed element and a tilt-and-turn sash. The latter is about 0.9 meters wide. Clear room height is 2.65 meters. We hadn't considered installing sliding windows there because we thought the tilt-and-turn option would be significantly cheaper. But maybe we're mistaken and sliding elements would be the smarter solution overall?

Should it be shaded from the outside?
External blinds?
The slat box on top also "costs" additional window height.

Sliding door to the garden - but it's a matter of cost, says the online configurator (plastic):



Google: sliding door patio door.

Should it be shaded from the outside? External blinds? The "cost" of the slat box on top also adds extra window height.

Exactly, external shading with venetian blinds.
