The tilt and turn window became widely popular for uPVC double glazing when they were introduced in the eighties.

The major benefit of the tilt and turn is their ability to open in several directions and be securely left open on a tilt for ventilation.

Unlike the casement that opens outwards, the tilt and turn opens inwards and can be opened fully to allow for cleaning the external glass from inside a property. Perfect for windows on upper floors.

They have an incredibly snug seal when closed, making them one of the most energy efficient options of frame.

With a thick frame they are less suitable for period properties where they can look out of keeping with the aesthetic of the property.
