Toscana 100 Inward Tilt-Sliding Window is an advanced solution for modern living spaces. Crafted from high-strength 6063-T6 aluminum alloy with a 1.8mm wall, it is designed to offer exceptional durability and stability. The Toscana 100 provides options for both single and double glazing, ensuring optimal insulation and energy efficiency to meet diverse needs.

The window features a custom hardware system capable of supporting weights up to 70KG, allowing for both inward tilt and side sliding mechanisms that provide flexible ventilation options. The integrated mesh screen not only maintains airflow but also effectively prevents insects from entering, enhancing the overall user experience. With multiple sealing layers and a precision extrusion sealing system, the Toscana 100 achieves an impressive air tightness rating of 8 and a water tightness rating of 6, ensuring reliable protection against the elements.

It excels in thermal and acoustic insulation, featuring a 39mm wide thermal break strip, a robust 100mm frame, and a vertical isothermal line design. These elements combine to deliver a window heat transfer coefficient of just 1.4 W/(m2.K) and soundproofing performance up to 38dB, making it a superior choice for energy efficiency and noise reduction.

The flush frame and concealed sash align with contemporary architectural trends, offering a sleek and modern appearance that complements any space. The extra-wide thermal break strip and sturdy frame cater to higher performance demands, with versatile configurations that are suitable for large openings, bay windows, kitchens, and indoor spaces. Durability is further enhanced by the use of 304 stainless steel tracks, ensuring smooth operation and extending the lifespan of the hardware.

Unlike traditional casement windows, it allows for both inward tilting and side sliding, optimizing space efficiency and minimizing the risk of accidental bumps. The integrated mesh screen and space-saving design enhance practicality, making the window a user-friendly choice for any home.

In terms of environmental impact, Toscana 100 promotes energy efficiency through its thermal break technology and high-performance glazing, significantly reducing energy consumption and lowering utility bills. Additionally, the use of recyclable and eco-friendly materials underscores the commitment to sustainability, promoting green consumption and minimizing the window’s environmental footprint.
