Windows
Tilt and turn windows
One handle, two ways to open. Tilt the top inwards for secure ventilation, or swing the whole sash into the room for cleaning and escape.
Windows
A clever window for awkward places
Turn the handle a quarter of the way and the sash tilts inwards from the top, letting air circulate while the window stays locked at the bottom and too narrow to climb through. Turn it further and the whole sash swings inwards on side hinges like a door.
That second position is what makes tilt and turn so useful. You can clean the outside of the glass from inside the room, which matters on upper floors, in flats and above conservatory roofs, and the full opening makes an excellent fire-escape route.
Ventilation you can leave
The tilt position lets rooms breathe while the sash stays engaged with the frame.
Clean it from indoors
Swing the sash into the room and wash both faces of the glass without a ladder.
Big, clear openings
A single large sash with no central mullion gives uninterrupted views and easy escape.
Locks all the way round
Locking points on every side of the sash pull it tight against the frame.
Where tilt and turn works best
Because the sash opens inwards, nothing projects over a path, balcony or neighbouring roof. That makes this the natural choice for apartments, town houses that front directly onto the pavement, loft conversions and any opening that is hard to reach from outside.
It is worth planning for the inward swing: blinds are best fitted to the sash or outside the reveal, and furniture should leave the window free to open. Our surveyor will talk this through with you.

Questions
Good things to ask
Straight answers to the questions we hear most about this product.
Is a window left on tilt secure?
In the tilt position the sash remains engaged with the frame at the bottom and opens only a short way at the top, so it is far more secure than a casement left ajar. As with any window, we would still recommend closing and locking it when the house is empty.
Can tilt and turn windows be used as a fire escape?
Yes. In the turn position the whole sash swings clear, giving a large unobstructed opening. Our surveyor will check that the clear opening and cill height meet the requirements for an escape window in the room concerned.
Can I fit blinds to a tilt and turn window?
Yes, but they need a little thought because the sash opens into the room. Blinds fixed to the sash itself work well, as do curtains or blinds mounted clear of the opening.
