Tilt & Turn Windows Brighton & Sussex
Tilt & turn windows for flexible ventilation and easy cleaning
Enjoy flexible ventilation, simple inward cleaning and versatile everyday operation with uPVC tilt and turn windows professionally surveyed and installed across Brighton, Hove and Sussex.
Practical Modern Windows
Two opening positions from one versatile window
Tilt and turn windows combine two different opening functions within a single sash. A simple change of handle position allows the window either to tilt inward from the top or open much further inward from the side.
In the tilt position, the top of the sash opens inward to provide controlled ventilation while the window remains largely within its opening.
In the turn position, the sash opens fully inward. This provides a much wider opening and makes the external face of the glazing considerably easier to reach from inside.
Why Choose Tilt & Turn?
Practical tilt and turn windows for Brighton homes
A versatile window design combining flexible ventilation, straightforward cleaning and modern uPVC performance.
Flexible ventilation
Tilt the top of the window inward when you want controlled airflow without opening the sash fully into the room.
Easy cleaning
Turning the sash fully inward makes the external face of the glazing much easier to reach from inside the property.
Simple operation
A single handle controls the different opening positions, providing two useful functions within one window.
Modern efficiency
Modern uPVC frames and double glazing can improve thermal comfort compared with many older replacement windows.
Modern security
Contemporary locking hardware provides modern window security when the sash is fully closed and locked.
Low maintenance
uPVC construction requires little routine maintenance and avoids the regular repainting associated with traditional painted frames.
How Tilt & Turn Windows Work
One window. Two useful opening positions.
The handle controls whether the sash tilts inward at the top or opens fully inward from the side.
Tilt Position
Controlled everyday ventilation
In tilt mode, the top of the sash moves inward while the lower edge remains in position, creating an opening at the top of the window.
- Controlled everyday airflow
- Useful for regular room ventilation
- Sash remains largely within the window opening
- Simple handle-controlled operation
Turn Position
Wide inward opening
In turn mode, the sash opens inward from the side in a similar way to a door, providing much greater access to the window and glazing.
- Wide inward opening
- Easy access to both faces of the glazing
- Convenient for routine cleaning
- Maximum ventilation when fully open

Tilt and turn windows are particularly useful when you want more flexibility from an opening than a conventional outward-opening casement window can provide.
Ventilate without fully opening
Tilt mode provides controlled airflow without requiring the sash to be opened fully inward.
Clean from inside

Tilt & Turn Window FAQs
Common questions about tilt and turn windows
How do tilt and turn windows work?
The handle controls two opening modes. In one position the top of the sash tilts inward for ventilation. In another position the sash opens fully inward from the side.
Do tilt and turn windows open inwards?
Yes. Tilt and turn windows are inward-opening. In tilt mode the top of the sash moves into the room, while in turn mode the complete sash opens inward from the side.
Are tilt and turn windows easy to clean?
Yes. One of their main practical benefits is that the sash can open fully inward, making the external face of the glazing much easier to reach from inside.
Are tilt and turn windows good for ventilation?
Yes. The tilt position provides a useful controlled ventilation option without requiring the sash to be fully opened.
Are tilt and turn windows suitable for flats?
They can be particularly useful in flats and on upper floors because inward opening can make the external face of the glazing easier to clean. Suitability still depends on the particular opening and project requirements.
Are tilt and turn windows secure?
Modern tilt and turn windows use contemporary locking hardware to provide security when the window is fully closed and locked. As with other window types, a window left open for ventilation is not equivalent to a fully closed and locked window.
