Tilt & turn windows in E4

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. For offices and tenanted blocks, tilt and turn windows let occupants ventilate safely in the tilt position, while cleaning can be done from inside on upper floors.

Matching those original bay shapes and glazing patterns is the main thing most E4 homeowners ask about, often alongside a stronger, more secure front door. The Chingford branch railway and the level crossing at Highams Park bring some noise. Our workshop is around 1.7 miles away, just over the Lea 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.

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