Tilt-in Windows - The Colony Tx.
Tilt-in WindowsA window sash is a small frame that holds window glass inside of a larger window frame. A window typically opens by sliding the window sash up or down inside the window frame. There are typically two window sashes for each opening window. If one or both of these sashes also tilt into the room, allowing the homeowner to clean the outside of the glass from the inside of the home, the window is referred to as a “Tilt in” window.
Benefits of Tilt-In
- Tilting the window sash into the room allows the homeowner to clean the exterior glass from inside the home. This can be helpful if the window is on a second floor… no ladder is needed.
- Window sashes that tilt into the home can usually be lifted completely away from the window frame without uninstalling the window entirely. This is handy if for any reason the glass were to break. A complete new window would not be needed. The manufacturer would simply send a new sash, complete with new glass that replaces the broken one.
- Theoretically, the hardware that allows the “tilt-in” function to work could break down over time. This cause quicker window breakdown. Problems with “tilt-in” hardware are extremely rare, however.

Heating Season Savings
In climates with a significant heating season, non-energy efficient windows can represent a major source of unwanted heat loss, discomfort, and condensation problems. In recent decades, windows have undergone a technological revolution. It is now possible to have lower heat loss, less air leakage, and warmer window surfaces that improve comfort and minimize condensation. The graphs below illustrate the simulated savings in heating season costs associated with energy efficient windows for a typical house in a heating-dominated climate. The savings shown do not include possible savings from reduced air leakage. Depending on the condition of the old windows in an existing home, the savings can be higher if window replacement leads to long-term air leakage reduction.
