Tilt & Turn Windows: A Modern Solution for Your Home

Finding the perfect balance between functionality, security, and style for home improvements can be challenging. Tilt and turn windows have emerged as a popular choice among UK homeowners, offering an innovative solution that meets all these requirements. At Albany Windows, we’ve been installing these versatile windows across Gloucestershire for over 25 years, and we’ve witnessed firsthand how they can transform traditional and modern homes. Whether renovating a period property or updating a contemporary home, these innovative windows offer exceptional versatility and performance.

What are Tilt and Turn Windows?

Tilt and turn windows are a type of window that offers two distinct opening functions. They can tilt in from the top of the window for ventilation or swing fully inward like a door for easy cleaning and maximum airflow. This dual functionality makes them a unique and practical choice.

The Benefits of Tilt and Turn Windows

Ventilation Control

One of the most significant advantages of tilt and turn windows is their ventilation capabilities. The tilt function allows airflow while maintaining security, perfect for letting in fresh air during warmer months. The full turn option provides maximum ventilation when needed, giving you complete control over your home’s airflow.

Unlike traditional windows that only open one way, the dual opening mechanism allows you to adapt to different weather conditions and ventilation needs throughout the year.

Cleaning Convenience

The inward opening design makes cleaning far more straightforward. By tilting the windows fully inwards, you can safely clean both sides of your windows from inside your home. This feature is particularly valuable for high windows where external access might be challenging.

This not only makes maintenance simpler but could also save you money by removing the need to hire cleaners for your hard-to-reach windows.

Security Features

Security is paramount in window design, and our tilt and turn windows excel in this area. These windows come equipped with sophisticated multi-point locking systems that provide exceptional security. The robust hardware required for the dual opening mechanism adds to the window’s overall security.

Strong locks, frames and glazed panes make these windows exceptionally durable against intruders, giving you peace of mind.

Energy Efficiency

Our tilt and turn windows are designed with energy efficiency in mind. With U-values as low as 1.2 W/m²K, they provide excellent thermal insulation. Our double glazing or triple glazing options and weather-tight seals help maintain your home’s temperature.

With energy costs continuing to rise, this has become a pressing concern for all homeowners, and these energy efficient windows can help to reduce your reliance on heating. This can save you money, offset some of your initial investment, and reduce your carbon footprint.

Material Options for Your New Windows

Our windows come in two different material options, aluminium or uPVC. Each has its own unique set of benefits.

uPVC Tilt and Turn Windows

uPVC windows have revolutionised the industry over the past few decades, becoming the most popular material for home improvements. Its popularity stems from its versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness, making it an excellent choice for tilt and turn windows.

Our uPVC tilt and turn windows’ natural resistance to weathering means they won’t rot, rust, or fade, even after years of exposure to the elements. They require minimal maintenance, just an occasional cleaning to keep them looking great.

This durability doesn’t come at the expense of style – we offer 19 different colours and wood grain effects, allowing you to perfectly match your windows to your style.

What truly sets uPVC apart is its exceptional thermal performance. The material’s natural insulating properties, combined with our advanced double or triple glazing technology, create windows that excel in energy efficiency, helping to reduce your heating bills and maintain a comfortable home.

Aluminium Tilt and Turn Windows

As a home improvement material, Aluminium is prized for its remarkable strength-to-weight ratio and sleek appearance. This premium material allows us to create tilt and turn windows with great design and performance. The inherent strength of aluminium enables us to craft windows with slimmer frames and larger glass areas, flooding your home with natural light while maintaining structural integrity.

With unlimited RAL colours available, you can achieve precisely the look you want, whether a bold statement or a classic colour. For a truly bespoke design, you can even choose a different colour for the interior and exterior of your property.

Aluminium also offers superior weather resistance, thermal performance and is 100% recyclable.
