Utilizing the most sophisticated window hardware available, the Sterling TG has the appearance of a classic French Casement with traditional sections modified for thermal glazing, and interior and exterior muntin bars to match a wide variety of applications. Its beauty and ease of operation make it ideal for new home or commercial construction, or for heritage building conversions. Plus, the *Enhanced Security performance of this window is truly second-to-none.
THREE POSITION ADVANTAGE
The inward swinging tilt and turn window is operated with only one handle for an easy to use 3-position operation.
In the closed position multi-locking points ensure safety as well as an airtight fit of the weather strip system, keeping unwanted guests and the weather outside where they belong.
For daytime ventilation the window can be tilted in. This position allows gentle air movement, venting from the top of the window, but still provides security against intruders.
The turn position (also inward opening) allows maximum ventilation quickly, and easy cleaning of the exterior surface of the glass.
