Tilt & turn windows in Upper Edmonton

The housing in Upper Edmonton is largely Victorian terraces, interwar houses and council estates around Fore Street. 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.

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. 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.

Streets off Fore Street and Silver Street mix Victorian terraces with interwar council houses and newer flats, and the North Circular and the Overground line bring steady noise to the homes beside them. Acoustic or triple glazing makes a real difference on those roads, while front doors and porches are popular upgrades on the terraces.

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
