Tilt & turn windows in W2

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. Allow for the inward swing when planning rooms in a detached home, keeping furniture, blinds and deep window sills clear of the sash's opening arc.

Edgware Road, Bayswater Road, the Westway and Paddington station bring constant activity. Many buildings are listed or in conservation areas, so slim sash-style designs are usually the way forward. Where a building is split into flats, we liaise with the freeholder or managing agent before anything is ordered. We are about 8.6 miles from W2.

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
