Tilt & turn windows in Kensal Rise

The housing in Kensal Rise is largely Edwardian bay-fronted terraces and converted flats. 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. 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 streets fall within conservation areas, so we check with Brent Council before quoting on front windows. The Overground line runs close to some homes, and acoustic glass can help. Our factory is about 9.3 miles away. For conversions, we also confirm freeholder consent.

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
• Locking points all around the sash
