Have you ever noticed those sleek windows in high-rise office buildings or popular hotels that seem to open in two different ways? Those are tilt and turn windows, and they’re not just for commercial spaces anymore.
At Crown, we’re bringing this innovative window style to homes across Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, and the wider UK. With their dual-opening functionality, tilt and turn windows offer a perfect blend of style, security, and practicality for modern living.
Let’s dive into why these windows might be the perfect fit for your home.
What Are Tilt and Turn Windows?
Tilt and turn windows are a modern window style that offers two distinct opening functions. With just a simple twist of the handle, you can either:
- Tilt inwards from the top of the window for ventilation
- Turn the entire window inwards on side hinges for a full opening
This dual functionality makes modern tilt and turn windows incredibly versatile and practical for various home styles, from detached houses to terraced properties.

The Benefits of Tilt and Turn Windows
Superior Ventilation Control
One of the primary advantages of tilt and turn windows is the ability to control airflow precisely. The tilt function allows you to let in fresh air while maintaining security and privacy. This feature is particularly useful during warmer months or in rooms that require constant air circulation.
Easy Cleaning and Maintenance
The inward-opening design of tilt and turn windows makes cleaning a breeze. You can easily access both sides of the double glazing from inside your home, eliminating the need for dangerous ladder work or hiring professional window cleaners.
Impressive Energy Efficiency
Our tilt and turn windows are designed with energy efficiency in mind. The high-quality materials and advanced sealing technology help to improve insulation, keeping your home comfortable year-round while potentially reducing your energy bills.
Improved Security
Tilt and turn windows come equipped with multi-point locking systems, providing added security against intruders. The inward-opening feature also allows you to control the window’s opening size, making them a safe option for homes with children.

FAQs:
Are tilt and turn windows suitable for all types of properties?
Yes, tilt and turn windows can be installed in various property types, including detached, semi-detached, and terraced houses.
How long does it take to install tilt and turn windows?
Installation time can vary depending on the number of windows, but typically, we can complete the process within a day or two.
Where are tilt and turn windows commonly used?
Tilt and turn windows are versatile and can be used throughout the home. They’re particularly popular in bathrooms, kitchens, children’s bedrooms, and areas that need both security and ventilation. Their dual functionality makes them ideal for spaces where you want to control airflow without compromising safety.
How can tilt and turn windows protect young children?
Tilt and turn windows offer safety for homes with young children. The tilt function allows for ventilation while preventing the window from opening fully, reducing the risk of falls. Additionally, the inward-opening design means you can control the extent to which the window opens, providing an extra layer of security.
Are tilt and turn windows energy efficient?
Yes, tilt and turn windows are known for their energy efficiency. Their design allows for a tight seal when closed, which helps to prevent heat loss in winter and keep your home cool in summer. Two thick glass panes designed to reduce heat transfer eliminates the need for triple glazing, and can potentially lead to lower energy bills and a more comfortable living environment.
