Tilt & turn windows in Parsons Green

Around Parsons Green you will mostly find late-Victorian terraced houses and some purpose-built mansion 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.

The green and the streets around it form a conservation area, and Hammersmith & Fulham expects front windows to stay in keeping, so sash-style replacements are the usual choice. The District line runs above ground through the area and New King's Road is busy, which makes acoustic glazing worth considering. Residents' parking is tight, so we arrange permits 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.

• Turns fully inward for safe cleaning
• Large clear opening for emergency escape
• Locking points all around the sash
