Tilt & Turn Window Treatments
Unique windows. Innovative solutions. Tilt and turn windows are a unique European-style window design that tilt inward for ventilation and also swing open like a door. Because of this dual movement, traditional blinds and shades often don’t work well, leaving you searching for window covering solutions.
The Hunter Douglas TrackGlide™ system was designed specifically for tilt and turn windows. This innovative solution allows cellular shades to attach directly to the window glass, so the shades move with the window as it tilts or turns—providing light control, privacy and energy efficiency at every position.

Why Tilt & Turn Windows Need Specialized Window Treatments
The unique movement of tilt and turn windows is what makes them so versatile. Tilting in at an angle, turning in like a door…it’s a unique experience. Access to fresh air and the ability to clean the outside of the window adds to their value. But to cover tilt turn windows, you need a specialized system. The Hunter Douglas TrackGlide system makes coverage customized and simple. The window shades stay on the glass, so when the glass moves, the shades also move. That means privacy and control no matter the position.
