Tilt & turn windows in St John’s Wood

The housing in St John’s Wood is largely stucco villas, mansion blocks and converted period flats. 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. 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.

Much of the area falls within the St John's Wood conservation area, so Westminster City Council will expect any new windows to match the originals closely. In mansion blocks the managing agent or freeholder usually has to agree first; we can supply drawings and specifications to help with that.

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
