Fenstür Expression Series vs Tilt and Turn 106 Passive

These sit at opposite ends of Fenstür's range. Expression is a 78 mm all-wood window in stock sizes with double glazing, built for speed and a predictable price. Tilt and Turn 106 Passive is a deeper 106 mm frame with triple glazing, made to size in all-wood or clad, and certified as a Passive House component.

  • Choose Expression Series if the project is code-minimum or close to it, the openings fit the stock sizes, and lead time matters.
  • Choose Tilt and Turn 106 Passive if you are targeting Passive House, net zero or a cold climate, or need triple glazing, cladding or custom sizes.

Fenstür Expression Series and Tilt and Turn 106 Passive differ on frame and glazing. Neither leads on the published performance numbers.
