Opening Types
![Top Guided Top Guided](/img/aura-top-guided.jpg)
Top Guided
Top Guided windows are a simple, elegant and user-friendly design. Opening is controlled by tracks and slides. When opening the window the top of the sash slides downwards as the bottom of the sash opens outwards. Adjustable friction ironmongery allows an almost infinite choice of open positions.
![Top Swing Top Swing](/img/aura-top-swing.jpg)
Top Swing
In everyday operation the fully reversible window functions as a Top Guided window. However it is possible to turn the sash through 170 degrees to clean the glass from the inside.
![Fixed Light Fixed Light](/img/aura-fixed-light.jpg)
Fixed Light
Fixed Light windows are ideal wherever maximum internal light and solar heat gain is required. Fixed Lights can be fitted with trickle vents for ventilation.
![Side Guided Side Guided](/img/aura-side-guided.jpg)
Side Guided
Side Guided windows are controlled by tracks and slides that allow the window to be fixed in any open position. However, when opened, the hinge side of the sash moves toward the middle to create an opening that allows the glass to be cleaned from the inside.
![Side Hung Side Hung](/img/aura-side-hung.jpg)
Side Hung
Side Hung windows are controlled with tracks and slides. On windows over 424 mm wide and 530mm high, the handle controlled friction brake allows the window to be fixed in any open position.
![Tilt & Turn Tilt & Turn](/img/aura-tilt-and-turn.jpg)
Tilt & Turn
Tilt and Turn windows function in two ways. The tilt function opens the top of the sash inwards for ventilation, whilst the turn function creates an inward opening side hung operation. Tilt & turn windows can be cleaned from the inside and can also be used as emergency exits. This opening style is also available solely as a bottom hung window (with handle at the top of the sash) or as an inward opening side hung window.
