Tilt & turn windows in Barnsbury

Around Barnsbury you will mostly find Georgian terraces, early Victorian squares and converted period flats. Tilt and turn styles rarely suit front elevations in conservation areas, so check with the council and consider them for hidden rear or side elevations instead.

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.

A lot of these houses are now split into flats, so the freeholder may need to sign off before work starts. We also plan deliveries carefully, as parking near Upper Street and the Caledonian Road is tight and often permit-only.

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.

• Tilt position for secure ventilation
• Turns fully inward for safe cleaning
• Large clear opening for emergency escape
