Tilt & turn windows in Bow

The housing in Bow is largely Georgian and Victorian terraces, post-war estates and new-build 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. On contemporary homes and new builds, slim tilt and turn frames suit large single panes and pair well with minimal interiors and Juliet balconies.

Noise is the main issue for many homes here. Bow Road, the Bow Flyover and the A12 carry heavy traffic, so acoustic glazing or secondary glazing is worth considering for rooms on those sides. From our Edmonton factory we are about 5.6 miles away, which keeps surveys and fitting days simple.

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
• Locking points all around the sash
