Tilt & Turn Window Coverings
Tilt & turn windows are beautiful and functional; they tilt inward to provide ventilation, and turn open completely to provide even more ventilation. Their tilt & turn design makes designing window treatments for them somewhat challenging; fortunately, we have over 35 years in the industry.
Custom Tilt & Turn Window Solutions
Tilt & turn windows come in a variety of sizes and shapes; this means there’s no one-size-fits-all window covering for tilt & turn windows. Our solution is to offer custom window coverings; we can use a combination of different coverings depending on your needs. When we design window covering solutions for tilt & turn windows, we factor in:
-
Accessibility
-
Aesthetics
-
The level of room darkening required
-
Your budget

Our Tilt & Turn Window Solutions
Cellular (Honeycomb) Shades
Our Duette Cellular Shades (sometimes called honeycomb shades) are specifically designed to be used with tilt & turn windows. They offer:
-
Incredible insulation thanks to their cellular design
-
Noise reduction
-
A wide selection of fabrics and colours
-
Several control options, including automated controls
These shades are our go-to solution for most tilt & turn windows; the TrackGlide system allows us to mount Duette shades directly onto your tilt & turn window, keeping the shades in place whether the window is closed, tilted, or turned.
Roller Shades
By mounting roller shades above your tilt & turn window, you benefit from their sleek, modern look without interfering with the operation of your windows. We have roller shades available in a wide array of different fabrics and colours.
Curtains / Drapes
Curtains and drapes are two broad categories of window coverings - and both of them can work well with tilt & turn windows. Our high quality drapery can work well if there is enough space on either side of the windows to fully clear the tilt & turn window frames.
This is a great option when you want either a soft sheer for light filtering, a light diffusing drape for privacy, or room darkening for night time. During the day with the drapes fully open you would uncover the entire span of your windows!
Tips For Choosing The Right Window Covering
For tilt & turn windows, the most important feature for a window covering to have is ease of use; it should never impede the operation of your window, and it should be easy to open and close to help you access your window.
You’ll also want to consider the amount of light you want flowing through your window. We offer room-darkening window treatments that are an excellent choice for tilt & turn windows in bedrooms.
Finally, think about the aesthetics of the room you’re installing your window treatments in. The coverings we offer are available in a wide range of different fabrics and colours; you can test different colour swatches before you decide. We recommend looking at the colours in all kinds of different light conditions to get a better feel for how your window coverings may look.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my blinds get in the way when I open or tilt my windows?
When you purchase our cellular shades, they will not get in the way when you open or tilt your windows because they’re flush with the window; they move right along with it. Roller shades or drapery should be opened before you tilt or turn your windows.
Can I still get good light control with tilt & turn windows?
Absolutely. With the right window treatments, you can maintain excellent control over the amount of natural light flowing into your home.
Will the blinds stay in place when the window is opened or tilted?
Our window treatments will all stay in place when the window is opened or tilted; you will, however, need to open most window treatments before opening your windows themselves.
