Tilt & turn windows in Paddington

Homes in Paddington are mostly stucco terraces, converted period flats, council blocks and modern apartments. 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. On contemporary homes and new builds, slim tilt and turn frames suit large single panes and pair well with minimal interiors and Juliet balconies.

Noise is a constant factor: the Westway, Praed Street, Edgware Road and the railway approach all carry traffic late into the night, so acoustic glazing is worth considering. Many streets are in Westminster conservation areas, and listed buildings need consent, so we check the rules first. Parking needs planning too. We are about 8.6 miles away.

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
