Tilt & turn windows in Hornsey

Around Hornsey you will mostly find bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces, flat conversions and some newer blocks. 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. For offices and tenanted blocks, tilt and turn windows let occupants ventilate safely in the tilt position, while cleaning can be done from inside on upper floors.

The East Coast Main Line runs past Hornsey station and the big train depot, so homes nearby can be noisy. Acoustic glazing, which uses two different thicknesses of glass, reduces that. Hornsey is about 3.5 miles from our Edmonton factory, and we always check freeholder consent for flats before fitting.

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
