Tilt & turn windows in Waltham Abbey

Homes in Waltham Abbey are mostly period town-centre houses, interwar semis and post-war estates. Tilt and turn styles rarely suit front elevations in conservation areas, so check with the council and consider them for hidden rear or side elevations instead.

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. On contemporary homes and new builds, slim tilt and turn frames suit large single panes and pair well with minimal interiors and Juliet balconies.

Period properties in the centre need windows designed to suit their age, while homes near the motorway often benefit from acoustic glazing. Narrow streets in the old town can make van access tricky, so we check this at the survey. Our Edmonton factory is about 5.6 miles away, a short drive across the Lee Valley.

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
• Large clear opening for emergency escape
• Locking points all around the sash
