Tilt & turn windows in NW3

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.

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.

Replacement windows here are reviewed closely, so we focus on slim, period-style designs. Finchley Road and Haverstock Hill carry heavy traffic, and flats facing them benefit from acoustic laminated glass. In mansion blocks we check lease terms and any agreed window specification first. NW3 is about 6.6 miles from our Edmonton factory.

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
