Tilt & turn windows in Clapton

Around Clapton you will mostly find Georgian squares, Victorian villas and terraces, council estates and converted 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.

Clapton Square and the streets around it are a conservation area, and Hackney Council expects windows there to respect the original design. We check before quoting. Lea Bridge Road and Lower Clapton Road both carry heavy traffic, so acoustic glazing helps on the front of the house. Our factory is about 3.5 miles north, along the Lea Valley.

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
• Large clear opening for emergency escape
• Locking points all around the sash
