Tilt & turn windows in Enfield Lock

Around Enfield Lock you will mostly find Victorian workers' cottages, interwar terraces and Enfield Island Village homes. 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.

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. 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.

Some of the older streets near the lock and the factory fall under conservation controls, so we check with Enfield Council before quoting. Newer homes on Enfield Island Village may have management company rules. Our Edmonton factory is about 4 miles south, so surveys and fitting are easy to arrange.

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
