Tilt & turn windows in Hampstead Garden Suburb

Around Hampstead Garden Suburb you will mostly find Arts and Crafts houses, cottages and early 20th-century flats. 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 windows are ideal for upper-floor flats because both sides of the glass can be cleaned from inside, avoiding the need for external access. 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.

Before any work, the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust usually needs to give consent, and the area is a conservation area under Barnet Council. We review the Trust's design guidance with you at survey, so drawings and quotes are prepared with approval in mind.

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
