Can anyone advise on the advantages / disadvantages of tilt turn windows compared to outward-opening side-swing casement windows in terms of air-tightness, water-tightness, durability, ease of use, maintenance, cleaning etc. European window designs all seem to be tilt turn … does this make them better than the UK preference for casement?
These are not the only two actually. You can also get top-hung (usually reversible) and pivoting. Windows in the rest of Europe aren't all tilt and turn – one finds a wide mixture.
Side-hung hinges don't usually permit a 1500 x 2400 mm opening light as some T&T hinges do. So you end up with more mullions, less solar gain and more heat loss.
