Tilt & turn windows in Barkingside

The housing in Barkingside is largely 1930s semis, terraces, bungalows and flats above shops. In 1930s loft conversions and rear bedrooms, a tilt and turn window can provide a generous escape opening while still allowing secure night-time ventilation.

On Victorian terraces, tilt and turn windows are best kept to rear extensions or loft rooms, where their modern look matters less and inward opening helps cleaning. Tilt and turn windows are ideal for upper-floor flats because both sides of the glass can be cleaned from inside, avoiding the need for external access.

The jobs we see most often here are swapping tired 1980s and 1990s uPVC for modern A-rated windows, rebuilding bays, and adding a new porch or composite front door. Each frame is made to measure in our Edmonton factory, about 5.6 miles away, and fitted by the same team that surveyed it.

Tilt and turn windows open inwards in two ways: tilted at the top for secure ventilation, or turned fully like a door for cleaning and escape. They suit flats, high-rise homes, modern builds and any room where outward-opening windows are impractical or cleaning from outside is difficult.

• Turns fully inward for safe cleaning
• Large clear opening for emergency escape
