Tilt & turn windows in E5

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. 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.

Lea Bridge Road and Upper Clapton Road carry buses and lorries, so double glazing with acoustic laminated glass can make a clear difference to sleep. Where flats share a front entrance, a solid composite door is a common upgrade. We are only about three miles up the Lea Valley in Edmonton.

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
