1. Gather Your Tools:You'll need a tape measure, a pencil, a drill, screws, and the Truth casement window hinges.

Proper maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your Truth casement window hinges. Here are some tips to keep your hinges in top shape:
1. Clean the Hinges:Regularly clean your hinges using a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the hinge's finish.
2. Lubricate the Hinges:Apply a light coat of silicone-based lubricant to the hinge's moving parts every six months to a year, depending on usage.
3. Check for Wear and Tear:Inspect your hinges for signs of wear and tear, such as loose screws, rust, or worn-out parts. Replace any damaged components as needed.

This newly built private house is in Sydney, Australia. The area occupied by the fenestration system in our scheduled design drawings was up to more than 110 square meters. A wide range of design details made the perfect mix of modern aesthetics and traditional sophistication, the simulated vertical hung windows with tilt & turn opening systems in this home are absolutely breathtaking. SDLS (Simulated Divided Lites with Spacer Bar) brings some historical vintage feeling to the whole building without losing any energy saving performance. Long narrow fixed windows creating larger-than-life expenses, coupled with German high-end systems made this project stand out from the rest.

Why choose the tilt and turn opening method?
Because it generally has better air seals than sliding, single hung, or double hung window frames. Tilt and turn windows form a complete seal when fully closed, this means they are less prone to water leakage, and cold draughts and you’ll keep more of your heating indoors where it belongs. They can be opened in the upper tilt way to ventilate at a minimum opening status and are easy to clean outside of the glass; when there’s a good day, they can be opened as normal inward casement windows.
