Tilt & turn windows in Brookmans Park

The housing in Brookmans Park is largely 1930s detached and semi-detached houses on large plots. Allow for the inward swing when planning rooms in a detached home, keeping furniture, blinds and deep window sills clear of the sash's opening arc.

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. 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.

Larger houses and gardens suit bifold and sliding doors, and conservatory roof replacements are a common request. The village is surrounded by green belt, which matters for bigger extensions though not for like-for-like windows. We are about 10.5 miles from our Edmonton factory, a short drive up the A10 and M25 or through Potters Bar.

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
